LAB(1)                      General Commands Manual                     LAB(1)

NAME
       lab - label maker

SYNOPSIS
       lab [ -m ] [ name ... ]

DESCRIPTION
       Lab causes the named files to be queued for printing as mailing labels.
       If  no  files  are  named,  the  standard input is read.  The option -m
       causes notification via mail(1) to be sent when the job completes.

       The last line of each label is identified by ending it with one or more
       spaces and a hyphen.  The hyphen must be  the  last  character  in  the
       line; no white space may follow it.

FILES
       /usr/spool/lab/*    spool area
       /usr/lib/lab        printer daemon

SEE ALSO
       pr(1)

BUGS
       Queued jobs print in directory (seemingly random) order.
