vol: Display the label and serial number for the current drive.
$ vol
try on your machine

The "vol" command is a command line utility in Microsoft Windows that displays the volume serial number and label of a disk drive. It is used to view information about the current volume on the system.

When you run the "vol" command in the command prompt, it will display the volume information of the default drive. For example:

Volume in drive C is Windows
Volume Serial Number is A1B2-C3D4

In this example, "C" is the default drive, "Windows" is the volume label, and "A1B2-C3D4" is the volume serial number. The volume serial number is a unique identifier assigned to each disk volume by the file system during formatting.

You can also specify a specific drive letter along with the "vol" command to retrieve volume information for a particular drive. For instance, typing "vol D:" will display the volume information of the D drive.
