<title>libblkid Overview</title>
|
|
<partintro>

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

|
The libblkid library
|
|
was written by Andreas Dilger for the ext2 filesystem utilities, with input
|
|
from Ted Ts'o. The library was subsequently heavily modified by Ted Ts'o.
