SYNOPSIS
vol_id [--export] [--type] [--label] [--label-raw] [--uuid]

DESCRIPTION
vol_id is usually called from a udev rule, to provide udev with the
filesystem type, the label and the uuid of a volume. It supports most
of the common filesystem formats and detects various raid setups to
prevent the recognition of raid members as a volume with a filesystem.

and slashes ignored.
