The libblkid library is used to identify block devices (disks) as to their
22
 
content (e.g.  filesystem type, partitions) as well as extracting additional
23
 
information such as filesystem labels/volume names, partitions, unique
24
 
identifiers/serial numbers, etc.  A common use is to allow use of LABEL= and
25
 
UUID= tags instead of hard-coding specific block device names into
26
 
configuration files.
