LABEL(1L)		    Schily's USER COMMANDS		     LABEL(1L)

NAME
       label - manipulate Sun disk labels

SYNOPSIS
       label [ options ]

DESCRIPTION
       The  label command manipulates Sun disk labels. It shares the menu sub-
       routines	with the sformat(1) command and	thus presents the  same	 label
       and  partition  menu as sformat(1).  The	label however does not operate
       by sending SCSI commands	to the	drive  but  rather  reads  and	writes
       files.

OPTIONS
       All boolean options can be abbreviated by their first letter.

       -print Print the	disk label and the partition table and exit.

       -set   Read  the	 disk  label  and partition table, set the disk	driver
	      geometry and partition tables according to the  data  read  from
	      file and disk and	exit.

       lproto= label-name

       if= label-name
	      Set  the	name  of the input file. This may be a plain file or a
	      raw disk device name.

       lname= label-name

       of= label-name
	      Set the name of the output file. This may	be a plain file	 or  a
	      raw disk device name.

       f= label-name
	      Set  the	name for both, the input and the output	file. This may
	      be a plain file or a raw disk device name.
