In some operating systems (e.g., DOS, OS/2 and Microsoft Windows) label is a command within the command line interpreters (shells) such as COMMAND.COM and cmd.exe. It is used to create, change, or delete a volume label on a logical drive, such as a hard disk partition or a floppy disk. Used without parameters, label changes the current volume label or deletes the existing label.
In Unix and other Unix-like operating systems, the name of the equivalent command differs from file system to file system. For instance, the command e2label can be used for ext2 partitions.
Arguments: *drive: This command-line argument specifies the drive letter of a drive. *label Specifies the label of the volume. *volume Specifies the drive letter (followed by a colon), mount point, or volume name.
Flags: */MP Specifies that the volume should be treated as a mount point or volume name.
Note: If volume name is specified, the /MP flag is unnecessary.
