NAME
       setlabel() - define label for formatting routines

SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
       The  system  call  defines a label to be printed by formatting routines
       (see pfmt(3C)) in the standard message format.  label  is  a  character

       If  label  is  NULL or an empty string, the label is reset to no label.
       No label is defined before

       assumes that label has already been translated into  a  locale-specific
       string using the current locale.

RETURN VALUE

       failed.
