<title>libblkid Overview</title>
<partintro>
<para>
The libblkid library is used to identify block devices (disks) as to their
content (e.g. filesystem type, partitions) as well as extracting additional
information such as filesystem labels/volume names, partitions, unique
identifiers/serial numbers, etc. A common use is to allow use of LABEL= and
UUID= tags instead of hard-coding specific block device names into
configuration files.
</para>
<para>
The libblkid library
was written by Andreas Dilger for the ext2 filesystem utilities, with input
from Ted Ts'o. The library was subsequently heavily modified by Ted Ts'o.
</para>
<para>
The low-level probing code, topology and partitions support was written
by Karel Zak. Currently, the library is maintained by Karel Zak.
</para>
<para>
The library is part of the util-linux package since version 2.15 and is
available from https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/.
