The ReactOS vol command

vol is a shell command that reports identifying information about an accessible volume (a.k.a. logical drive) including its label and serial number.

The command is available in shells COMMAND.COM and cmd.exe.[1] It is available in various operating systems including versions of DOS,[2] FlexOS,[3] 4690 OS,[4] OS/2,[5] Windows,[6] ReactOS,[7] PTS-DOS 2000 Pro,[8] and EFI shell.[9] In MS-DOS, it is available in versions 2 and later.[10]

The dir command also displays the volume label and serial number (if any).

Use

The command reports information about the volume associated with the working directory by default. If a drive letter is specified, then the command reports information about its associated volume. On Windows, the volume serial number is displayed only for disks formatted with MS-DOS version 4.0 or later. OS/2 allows the user to specify more than one drive.

Examples

In OS/2, the command line vol C: reports the label as "OS/2" and the serial number as "0815:1611" like: 

The volume label in drive C is OS/2.
The Volume Serial Number is 0815:1611.

In Windows, the command line vol C: reports the label as "Windows" and the serial number as "080F-100B" like: 

Volume in drive C is Windows
Volume Serial Number is 080F-100B

If drive C: had no label, "has no label" would have shown instead of "is Windows".
