The libblkid library is used to identify block devices (disks) as to their
|
|
content (e.g., filesystem type) as well as extracting additional information
|
|
such as filesystem labels/volume names, unique identifiers/serial numbers.
|
|
A common use is to allow use of LABEL= and UUID= tags instead of hard-coding
|
|
specific block device names into configuration files.
