ioctl_fslabel — get or set a filesystem label

If a filesystem supports online label manipulation, these
ioctl(2) operations can be
used to get or set the filesystem label for the filesystem on
which fd
resides. The
FS_IOC_SETFSLABEL
operation requires privilege (CAP_SYS_ADMIN
).
On success zero is returned. On error, −1 is
returned, and errno
is set to
indicate the error.
Possible errors include (but are not limited to) the following:
label
references an inaccessible memory area.
The specified label exceeds the maximum label length for the filesystem.
This can appear if the filesystem does not support online label manipulation.
The calling process does not have sufficient permissions to set the label.
These ioctl(2) operations first
appeared in Linux 4.18. They were previously known as
BTRFS_IOC_GET_FSLABEL
and
BTRFS_IOC_SET_FSLABEL
and were
private to Btrfs.
The maximum string length for this interface is
FSLABEL_MAX
, including the
terminating null byte ('\0'). Filesystems have differing
maximum label lengths, which may or may not include the
terminating null. The string provided to FS_IOC_SETFSLABEL
must always
be null-terminated, and the string returned by FS_IOC_GETFSLABEL
will always
be null-terminated.
