Hi folks,

Apologies if this is well-documented but I can't find an answer in the 
usual places.

Is there a cygwin-friendly way of retrieving the volume label for a 
particular drive (or for all drives) in e.g. a perl or shell script? Short 
of running Windows' dir.exe on the appropriate drive and parsing the 
result!

Or would I have to use the Windows API?

Cheers,

Andrew.
