+ <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/.
