DESCRIPTION

      ata_id  is  normally  called  from  a  udev rule, to provide udev with a unique string and additional information
      (uuid, label) for an ATA drive. Udev  can  use  this  information  to  create  symlinks  in  /dev/disk/by-id  and
      /dev/disk/by-label to the real device node.

USAGE

      ata_id  opens the blockdevice node specified at the commandline and prints the information chosen by the options.

OPTIONS

      The following commandline switches are supported to specify what ata_id should print:
 
      --export
             print all values (instead of only the id)
