#### 16.3.65 search

Command: search [`--file`|`--label`|`--fs-uuid`] [`--set` [var]] [`--no-floppy`] name ¶

  Search devices by file (`-f`, `--file`), filesystem label (`-l`, `--label`), or filesystem UUID (`-u`, `--fs-uuid`).

  If the `--set` option is used, the first device found is set as the value of environment variable var. The default variable is ‘`root`’.

  The `--no-floppy` option prevents searching floppy devices, which can be slow.

  The ‘`search.file`’, ‘`search.fs_label`’, and ‘`search.fs_uuid`’ commands are aliases for ‘`search --file`’, ‘`search --label`’, and ‘`search --fs-uuid`’ respectively.
