<p><font size=+1><b>DESCRIPTION </b></font><br>
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td>
<i>Label</i> sets the label of the current <i>win</i> (see <a href="../man1/acme.html"><i>acme</i>(1)</a>) or X terminal
window (<i>e.g., <a href="../man1/9term.html">9term</a></i><a href="../man1/9term.html">(1)</a> or <a href="../man1/xterm.html"><i>xterm</i>(1)</a>) by echoing a special control
sequence to standard output.
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=5><td></table>
<i>Acme</i> and <i>9term</i> windows assume the label is a directory name. When
unrooted file names are plumbed in the window, they are evaluated
relative to the directory named in the label.<br>

<p><font size=+1><b>EXAMPLE </b></font><br>
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td>
One can use the following <a href="../man1/sh.html"><i>sh</i>(1)</a> function to keep the label up-to-date
in response to <i>cd</i> commands:<br>
<table border=0 cellpadding=0 cellspacing=0><tr height=2><td><tr><td width=20><td>
<tt><font size=+1>_cd () {<br>
