-.B \-L
-Print the devices in a user-friendly list format. This is the
-equivalent of using the option \fB-o list\fR.
+.B \-L " label "
+Look up one device that uses the label (same as: -l -o device -t
+LABEL=<label>). This look up method is able to reliable use /dev/disk/by-label
+udev symlinks (depends on setting in /etc/blkid.conf). Avoid to use the
+symlinks directly. It is not reliable to use the symlinks without verification.
+The \fB-L\fR option is portable and works on systems with and without udev.
+.TP
+.B \-U " uuid "
+Look up one device that uses the uuid. For more details see the \fB-L\fR option.
