NAME

6       ntfslabel - display or change the label on an NTFS file system

SYNOPSIS

9       ntfslabel [options] device [new_label]
10
11

DESCRIPTION

13       The  ntfslabel utility displays or changes the file system label on the
14       NTFS file system located on device (see Synopsis).
15
16
17       If the optional argument new_label is not present,  ntfslabel  displays
18       the current file system label.
19
20
21       If  the optional argument new_label is present, ntfslabel sets the file
22       system label to be new_label. NTFS file system labels can  be  at  most
23       128  Unicode  characters  long; if new_label is longer than 128 Unicode
24       characters, ntfslabel truncates it and displays a warning message.
25
26
27       It is also possible to set the file system label using the -L option of
28       mkntfs(1M) during creation of the file system.

OPTIONS

31       Supported  options are listed below. Most options have both single-let‐
32       ter and full-name forms. Multiple single-letter  options  that  do  not
33       take an argument can be combined. For example, -fv is the equivalent of
34       -f -v. A full-name option can be abbreviated to a unique prefix of  its
35       name.
