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

SYNOPSIS
       ntfslabel [options] device [new_label]

DESCRIPTION
       The  ntfslabel utility displays or changes the file system label on the
       NTFS file system located on device (see Synopsis).

       If the optional argument new_label is not present,  ntfslabel  displays
       the current file system label.

       If  the optional argument new_label is present, ntfslabel sets the file
       system label to be new_label. NTFS file system labels can  be  at  most
       128  Unicode  characters	 long; if new_label is longer than 128 Unicode
       characters, ntfslabel truncates it and displays a warning message.

       It is also possible to set the file system label using the -L option of
       mkntfs(1M) during creation of the file system.

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

       -f, --force

	   Overrides  some  sensible  defaults,	 such  as  not	working with a
	   mounted volume. Use this option with caution.

       -h, --help

	   Show a list of options with a brief description of each.

       -n, --no-action

	   Do not actually write a new label to disk.

       -q, --quiet

	   Suppress some debug, warning, and error messages.

       -V, --version

	   Show the version number, copyright, and license information.

       -v, --verbose

	   Display more debug, warning, and error messages.
