| 13 | == NAME | |
| 14 | ||
| 15 | swaplabel - print or change the label or UUID of a swap area | |
| 16 | ||
| 17 | == SYNOPSIS | |
| 18 | ||
| 19 | *swaplabel* [*-L* _label_] [*-U* _UUID_] _device_ | |
| 20 | ||
| 21 | == DESCRIPTION | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | *swaplabel* will display or change the label or UUID of a swap partition located on _device_ (or regular file). | |
| 24 | ||
| 25 | If the optional arguments *-L* and *-U* are not given, *swaplabel* will simply display the current swap-area label and UUID of _device_. | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | If an optional argument is present, then *swaplabel* will change the appropriate value on _device_. These values can also be set during swap creation using *mkswap*(8). The *swaplabel* utility allows changing the label or UUID on an actively used swap device. | |
