+.TH IOCTL-FSLABEL 2 2018-05-02 "Linux" "Linux Programmer's Manual"
+.SH NAME
+ioctl_fslabel \- get or set a filesystem label
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.br
+.B #include <sys/ioctl.h>
+.br
+.B #include <linux/fs.h>
+.sp
+.BI "int ioctl(int " fd ", FS_IOC_GETFSLABEL, char " label [FSLABEL_MAX]);
+.br
+.BI "int ioctl(int " fd ", FS_IOC_SETFSLABEL, char " label [FSLABEL_MAX]);
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+If a filesystem supports online label manipulation, these
+.BR ioctl (2)
+operations can be used to get or set the filesystem label for the filesystem
+on which
+.B fd
+resides.
+The
+.B FS_IOC_SETFSLABEL
+operation requires privilege
+.RB ( CAP_SYS_ADMIN ).
+.SH RETURN VALUE
+On success zero is returned. On error, \-1 is returned, and
+.I errno
+is set to indicate the error.
+.PP
+.SH ERRORS
+Error codes can be one of, but are not limited to, the following:
+.TP
+.B EINVAL
+The specified label exceeds the maximum label length for the filesystem.
+.TP
+.B ENOTTY
+This can appear if the filesystem does not support online label manipulation.
+.TP
+.B EPERM
+The calling process does not have sufficient permissions to set the label.
+.TP
+.B EFAULT
+.I label
+references an inaccessible memory area.
+.SH VERSIONS
+These ioctl operations first appeared in Linux 4.18.
+They were previously known as
+.B BTRFS_IOC_GET_FSLABEL
+and
+.B BTRFS_IOC_SET_FSLABEL
+and were private to Btrfs.
+.SH CONFORMING TO
+This API is Linux-specific.
+.SH NOTES
+The maximum string length for this interface is
+.BR FSLABEL_MAX ,
+including the terminating null byte (\(aq\\0\(aq).
+Filesystems have differing maximum label lengths, which may or
+may not include the terminating null. The string provided to
+.B FS_IOC_SETFSLABEL
+must always be null-terminated, and the string returned by
+.B FS_IOC_GETFSLABEL
+will always be null-terminated.
