It shares the menu subroutines with the sformat (1) command and thus presents the same label and partition menu as sformat (1). The label however does not operate by sending SCSI commands to the drive but rather reads and writes files. All boolean options can be abbreviated by their first letter.

-set Read the disk label and partition table, set the disk driver geometry and partition tables according to the data read from file and disk and exit.
