disklabel(8)              BSD System Manager's Manual             disklabel(8)

NAME
     disklabel -- manipulate and query an Apple Label disk label

SYNOPSIS
     disklabel -create disk-device [-msize=size] [property=value] [...]
     disklabel -status disk-device
     disklabel -properties disk-device [property[=value]] [...]
     disklabel -destroy disk-device

DESCRIPTION
     The disklabel utility manipulates ``Apple Label'' partition metadata.  ``Apple Label'' partitions allow
     for a disk device to have a consistent name, ownership, and permissions across reboots, even though
     uses a dynamic pseudofilesystem for /dev.

     The ``Apple Label'' partition uses a set of metadata (as a plist) in a reserved area of the partition.
     This metadata describes the owner, name, and so forth.

     When -create is used, the -msize argument can specify the size of metadata area; the default is
     128Kbytes.  The default size unit is bytes, but the following suffixes may be used to multiply by the
     given factor: ``b'' (512), ``k'' (1024), ``m'' (1048576), and ``g'' (1073741824).

     Although any key-value pair can be specified for the properties, certain keys are used by the system:

     owner-uid   The user (as either a string or numeric value) to own the device.

     owner-gid   The group (as either a string or numeric value) associated with the device.

     owner-mode  The permissions (as a numeric value) for the device.

     dev-name    The name for the device.

     If the owner-uid and owner-gid properties are given as strings, the disklabel utility will attempt to
     look up the names (as users or groups, as appropriate), and will store the numeric values in the meta-data. metadata.
     data.  If it cannot find the names, and the values are not given as numbers, it will print an error,
     and not store the key/value pairs in the metadata.

     The owner-mode property may be given in decimal, or in octal by using a preceding ``0'' (e.g.,
     ``0666'').

     Any property may be forced to be treated as a string by enclosing it in double-quotation marks; bear in
     mind that shell escapes will probably be necessary in this sitation.

     The -properties directive can print out all keys (if no arguments are given), a requested set of keys
     (if a list of key names is given), or can modify (or add) keys (if a key-value pairs are given).

     disklabel also maintains a checksum of the metadata; the -status directive verifies this checksum.

EXAMPLES
     The following example will create a device with 1MByte of metadata area, owned by fred, with a device
     name of fred, and be writable by fred:

           disklabel -create /dev/rdisk1s1 -msize=1M owner-uid=fred dev-name=fred owner-mode=0644

     The following example will then print out the key-value pairs from the above:
           disklabel -properties /dev/rdisk1s1
