vol (command)

In some operating systems (e.g., DOS,[1] OS/2 and Microsoft Windows[2]) vol is a command within the command line interpreters (shells) such as COMMAND.COM and cmd.exe. It is used to display the volume label and volume serial number on a logical drive, such as a hard disk partition or a floppy disk, if they exist.

Syntax

Argum

Examples

OS/2

The Volume Serial Number is 0815:1611.

Windows
