NAME

6       ata_id - udev callout to read product/serial number from ATA drives
7

SYNOPSIS

9       ata_id [--export] blockdevice
10

DESCRIPTION

12       ata_id  is  normally  called  from  a udev rule, to provide udev with a
13       unique string and additional  information  (uuid,  label)  for  an  ATA
14       drive.   Udev   can   use   this  information  to  create  symlinks  in
15       /dev/disk/by-id and /dev/disk/by-label to the real device node.
16

USAGE

18       ata_id opens the blockdevice node  specified  at  the  commandline  and
19       prints the information chosen by the options.
20

OPTIONS

22       The following commandline switches are supported to specify what ata_id
23       should print:
24
25       --export
26              print all values (instead of only the id)
