.Dd July 25, 2005 .Dt MSCDLABEL 8 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm mscdlabel .Nd generate disk label from CD track information .Sh SYNOPSIS .Nm .Op Ar device | file .Sh DESCRIPTION .Nm is used to generate a .Nx disk label from track information read from the CD. This way, data of previous sessions of a multi-session CD can be accessed.

p .Nm scans the CD's TOC, beginning with the last track. For each data track where an ISO9660 filesystem is identified, basic information (volume label, creation date) is printed and a partition entry added to the in-core disklabel.

p The raw partition (typically partition .Em c , but .Em d on i386 and some other platforms) is left alone during this process.

p The .Nm utility can also be used on files or non-CD devices. In this case a single track is assumed. If the device supports disk labels, a label will be written as described above. Otherwise, just the ISO volume label information will be printed. .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr cdplay 1 , .Xr disklabel 8 , .Xr mbrlabel 8
