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 subrou-
     tines with the sformat(1) command and thus presents the same label and par-
     tition 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 geome-
	    try 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.
