OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-F FSType
Specify the FSType on which to operate. The FSType

will be used.

verify and validate the command line. Additional
information obtained using a /etc/vfstab lookup is
included in the output. The command is not executed.

for the labelit module specific to the file system
type.
