VOL_ID(8)			    vol_id			     VOL_ID(8)

NAME
       vol_id - probe filesystem type and read label and uuid

SYNOPSIS
       vol_id [--export] [-t] [-l] [-u] [device]

DESCRIPTION
       vol_id is usually called from a udev rule, to provide udev with the
       filesystem type, the label and the uuid of a volume.  vol_id supports
       all common filesystem formats and detects various raid setups to
       prevent the recognition of raid members as a volume with a filesystem.

OPTIONS
       --export
	      print all values in key/value format to import them into the
	      environment.

       -t     print the filesystem type

       -l     print the label of a volume

       -u     print the uuid of a volume

ENVIRONMENT
       UDEV_LOG
	      Set the syslog priority.

EXIT STATUS
       vol_id will only return successful if the value asked for is not empty.
       All trailing whitespace will be removed, spaces replaced by underscore
       and slashes ignored.
