OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-F FSType
Specify the FSType on which to operate. The FSType should
either be specified here or be determinable from
/etc/vfstab by matching the special with an entry in the
table. If no matching entry is found, the default file
system type specified in /etc/default/fs will be used.
-V
Echo complete command line. This option may be used to
verify and validate the command line. Additional informa‐
tion obtained using a /etc/vfstab lookup is included in
the output. The command is not executed.
-o
Specify FSType-specific options. See the manual page for
the labelit module specific to the file system type.

labelit will display the value of the labels.

0
Write or display of labels was successful.
