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.
