This option allows to restrict low-level probing to the defined list
of superbocks (filesystems or RAIDs). For example:
blkid -p -n ext3,ext4,vfat /dev/sda1
or
blkid -p -n novfat /dev/sda1

... sad story, I have temporary disabled pretty-output code
in very early version of blkid.c in u-l-ng. (It was also in
time when pretty-output was very new feature in e2fsprogs.)
Unfortunately, the -L option (shortcut to "-o list") in u-l-ng version
was reused for for any other functionality few months later.... this
stupid thing was released in u-l-ng 2.15 and 2.16 without any negative
feedback from users.
It means the blkid from u-l-ng is not backwardly compatible with
the original version from e2fsprogs. The -L option has a different
meaning there.
I'm sorry about this bug...
This patch:
* enable pretty-output (-o line)
* add a note about incompatibility between u-l-ng and e2fsprogs
to blkid.8 man page

The others utilities are in one of the top-level directories. That's
confusing to have blkid(8) and findfs(8) in shlibs/ tree.
