💖 apfs-label — the manual page, but make it cute 💖

okay so bestie, you're in the System Manager's Manual section 8, and this is apfs-label. yes it's a whole manual page. yes it's giving "one job" energy. and honestly? that one job is iconic. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

apfs-label — lists the labels of every single volume in an APFS filesystem. that's it. that's the whole personality. 💅

🎀 SYNOPSIS 🎀

apfs-label device

just hand it a device and let it cook. 🍓

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so apfs-label is a simple tool. like, simple simple. no cap.

what it does: it lists the index and the label of all the volumes inside an APFS container. and why do you care? because it's there to help you, the user, figure out which one to mount with the driver. that's the whole point, bestie — it's your lil volume-picker-outer so you don't have to guess. 👑

✨ OPTIONS ✨

  • -v — prints the version number of apfs-label and then exits. that's it. that's the option. one (1) flag. she's minimal and she knows it. 💅
