     LAB(1)                       (alice)                       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

     BUGS
