Package: util-linux
Version: 2.16.2-0
Severity: normal
At present man -k blkid returns:
blkid (8) - command-line utility to locate/print block device attr
This isn't helpful when one tries to find the command to return the UUID
of a given device (e.g. to get mount to use UUID's instead of device names).
Something like:
- locate/print UUID and other block device attributes
would be better.
"command-line utility to" doesn't convey much information.
Regards,
Arthur.
