Description
"p mlabel"
"c Labeling a disk"
"c Disk label"
The \f(CWmlabel command adds a volume label to a disk. Its syntax is:
l I
\f(CWmlabel [\f(CW-vcs] drive:[new_label]
l
\f(CWMlabel displays the current volume label, if present. If
new_label is not given, and if neither the \f(CWc nor the
\f(CWs options are set, it prompts the user for a new volume label.
To delete an existing volume label, press return at the prompt.
Reasonable care is taken to create a valid MS-DOS volume label. If an
invalid label is specified, \f(CWmlabel changes the label (and
displays the new label if the verbose mode is set). \f(CWMlabel
returns 0 on success or 1 on failure.
Mlabel supports the following options:
\f(CWc\
Clears an existing label, without prompting the user
\f(CWs\
Shows the existing label, without prompting the user.

Viewing\ the\ texi\ doc
This manpage has been automatically generated from mtools's texinfo
documentation. However, this process is only approximative, and some
items, such as crossreferences, footnotes and indices are lost in this
translation process. Indeed, these items have no appropriate
representation in the manpage format. Moreover, not all information has
been translated into the manpage version. Thus I strongly advise you to
use the original texinfo doc. See the end of this manpage for
instructions how to view the texinfo doc.

To generate a printable copy from the texinfo doc, run the following
commands:

./configure; make dvi; dvips mtools.dvi
-0.3i

To generate a html copy, run:
3
+0.3i
./configure; make html
-0.3i

A premade html can be found at:

To generate an info copy (browsable using emacs' info mode), run:
3
+0.3i
./configure; make info
-0.3i

The texinfo doc looks most pretty when printed or as html. Indeed, in
the info version certain examples are difficult to read due to the
quoting conventions used in info.
