NAME
       ntfslabel  - display/change the label on an ntfs file sys-
       tem

SYNOPSIS
       ntfslabel device [ new-label ]

DESCRIPTION
       ntfslabel will display or change the file system label  on
       the ntfs file system located on device.

       If the optional argument new-label is not present, ntfsla-
       bel will simply display the current file system label.

       If the optional argument new-label is present, then  ntfs-
       label  will  set	 the  file  system label to be new-label.
       NTFS file system labels can be at most 128 Unicode charac-
       ters long; if new-label is longer than 128 Unicode charac-
       ters, ntfslabel will truncate it and print a warning  mes-
       sage.

       It is also possible to set the file system label using the
       -L option of mkntfs(8) during creation of the file system.
