Subject: blkid: move to misc-utils/ directory

The others utilities are in one of the top-level directories. That's
confusing to have blkid(8) and findfs(8) in shlibs/ tree.

+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The
+.B blkid
+program is the command-line interface to working with
+.BR libblkid (3)
+library.  It can determine the type of content (e.g. filesystem, swap)
+a block device holds, and also attributes (tokens, NAME=value pairs)
+from the content metadata (e.g. LABEL or UUID fields).
+.PP
+.B blkid
+has two main forms of operation: either searching for a device with a
+specific NAME=value pair, or displaying NAME=value pairs for one or
+more devices.
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.BI \-c " cachefile"
+Read from
+.I cachefile
+instead of reading from the default cache file
+.IR /etc/blkid.tab .
+If you want to start with a clean cache (i.e. don't report devices previously
+scanned but not necessarily available at this time), specify
+.IR /dev/null .
+.TP
+.B \-g
+Perform a garbage collection pass on the blkid cache to remove
+devices which no longer exist.
+.TP
+.B \-h
+Display a usage message and exit.
+.TP
+.B \-l
+Look up one device that matches the search parameter specified using
+the
+.B \-t
+option.  If there are multiple devices that match the specified search
+parameter, then the device with the highest priority is returned, and/or
+the first device found at a given priority.  Device types in order of
+decreasing priority are Device Mapper, EVMS, LVM, MD, and finally regular
+block devices.  If this option is not specified,
+.B blkid
+will print all of the devices that match the search parameter.
+.TP
+.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 " list "
+Restrict probing functions to defined (comma separated) list of "usage" types.
+Supported usage types are: filesystem, raid, crypto and other. The list can be
+prefixed with "no" to specify the usage types which should be ignored. For example:
+.sp
+  blkid -p -u filesystem,other /dev/sda1
+.sp
+probes for all filesystems and others (e.g. swap) formats, and
+.sp
+  blkid -p -u noraid /dev/sda1
+.sp
+probes for all supported formats exclude RAIDs. This option is useful with
+\fB-p\fR only.
+.TP
+.B \-U " uuid "
+Look up one device that uses the uuid. For more details see the \fB-L\fR option.
+.TP
+.BI \-o " format"
+Display
+.BR blkid 's
+output using the specified format.  The
+.I format
+parameter may be:
+.RS
+.TP
+.B full
+print all tags (the default)
+.TP
+.B value
+print the value of the tags
+.TP
+.B list
+print the devices in a user-friendly format
+.TP
+.B device
+print the device name only
+.TP
+.B udev
+vol_id compatible mode; usable in udev rules
+.RE
+.TP
+.BI \-O " bytes"
+Probe at the given offset (only useful with \fB-p\fR).
+.TP
+.BI \-p
+Switch to low-level probing mode (bypass cache)"
+.TP
+.BI \-s " tag"
+For each (specified) device, show only the tags that match
+.IR tag .
+It is possible to specify multiple
+.B \-s
+options.  If no tag is specified, then all tokens are shown for all
+(specified) devices.
+In order to just refresh the cache without showing any tokens, use
+.B "-s none"
+with no other options.
+.TP
+.BI \-S " bytes"
+Overwrite device/file size (only useful with \fB-p\fR).
+.TP
+.BI \-t " NAME" = "value"
+Search for block devices with tokens named
+.I NAME
+that have the value
+.IR value ,
+and display any devices which are found.
+Common values for
+.I NAME
+include
+.BR TYPE ,
+.BR LABEL ,
+and
+.BR UUID .
+If there are no devices specified on the command line, all block devices
+will be searched; otherwise only the specified devices are searched.
+.TP
+.B \-v
+Display version number and exit.
+.TP
+.BI \-w " writecachefile"
+Write the device cache to
+.I writecachefile
+instead of writing it to the default cache file
+.IR /etc/blkid.tab .
+If you don't want to save the cache to the default file, specify
+.IR /dev/null.
+If not specified it will be the same file as that given by the
+.B \-c
+option.
+.TP
+.I device
+Display tokens from only the specified device.  It is possible to
+give multiple
+.I device
+options on the command line.  If none is given, all devices which
+appear in
+.I /proc/partitions
+are shown, if they are recognized.
+.SH "RETURN CODE"
+If the specified token was found, or if any tags were shown from (specified)
+devices, 0 is returned.  If the specified token was not found, or no
+(specified) devices could be identified, an exit code of 2 is returned.
+For usage or other errors, an exit code of 4 is returned.
