The command is available in shells COMMAND.COM and cmd.exe.[1] It is available in various operating systems including versions of
DOS,[2]
FlexOS,[3]
4690 OS,[4]
OS/2,[5]
Windows,[6]
ReactOS,[7]
PTS-DOS 2000 Pro,[8]
and EFI shell.[9]
In MS-DOS, it is available in versions 2 and later.[10]
The dir command also displays the volume label and serial number (if any).
Use
The command reports information about the volume associated with the working directory by default. If a drive letter is specified, then the command reports information about its associated volume. On Windows, the volume serial number is displayed only for disks formatted with MS-DOS version 4.0 or later. OS/2 allows the user to specify more than one drive.
Examples
In OS/2, the command line vol C: reports the label as "OS/2" and the serial number as "0815:1611" like:
The volume label in drive C is OS/2.
The Volume Serial Number is 0815:1611.
In Windows, the command line vol C: reports the label as "Windows" and the serial number as "080F-100B" like:
Volume in drive C is Windows
Volume Serial Number is 080F-100B
