DESCRIPTION
     odlabel labels the volume in the optical cartridge specified
     by  eq[:slot:side].  eq is the equipment number.  If eq is a
     library, slot is the slot in the library containing the car-
     tridge.  side is the side (1 or 2) of a two-sided cartridge.

     A VOL (volume) and a  PAR  (partition)  label  are  written.
     These  labels  conform  to  ISO standard IEC13346.  The data
     portion follows ISO standard TC97SC23.

     -vsn vv...  specifies the volume serial name of the  optical
     disk being labeled (up to 31 characters).

     If the media being labeled was previously labeled,  the  VSN
     must  be specified by -old vv....  The "old" VSN is compared
     with the VSN on the media to assure that the  correct  media
     is being relabeled.

     If the media is not labeled  (i.e.,  blank),  -new  must  be
     specified  to  prevent  the  previous  label comparison from
     being made.

OPTIONS
     -info aa...
               Specifies the "Implementation Use" string  in  the
               label (up to 127 characters).

     -V        Verbose, lists label information written.

     -erase    Erases the media  completely  before  a  label  is
               written.   This is a security feature that is nor-
               mally not necessary.  Complete media erasure  will
               take  a long time to perform since all data in the
               media is erased.

     -w        Wait for the labeling operation to  complete.   If
               an  error occurs, it will be reported along with a
               completion code of 1.   All  labeling  errors  are
               also  logged.   Note:  Canceling a command that is
               waiting for completion will not cause  the  opera-
               tion itself to be canceled.
