btrfs-property: Get the `label` property for the given btrfs filesystem or device.

btrfs

$ sudo btrfs property get ${path-to-btrfs_filesystem} label

try on your machine

This command is used to display the label property of a Btrfs filesystem. Here's a breakdown of the command:

sudo: This is a command used in Unix-like operating systems to execute a command with administrative privileges. It allows the user to run commands as a superuser or root user.
btrfs: This is the command used to interact with Btrfs filesystems in Linux. Btrfs is a modern file system that offers advanced features like snapshots, subvolumes, and data integrity.
property get: This is a subcommand of btrfs that retrieves the value of a specific property of a Btrfs filesystem.
${path-to-btrfs_filesystem}: This is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual path to the Btrfs filesystem you want to query.
label: This is the property being queried. In this case, the command retrieves the label property, which represents the human-readable name given to the Btrfs filesystem.

By running this command with the appropriate path to the Btrfs filesystem, you can see the label assigned to it.
