     40==== setting ====
    4141With any of the ippTools, you can (and should!) use labels to separate your data into processing groups.  When you define a chipRun, camRun, or any other run, the <code>-set_label</code> option allows you to provide a string to label all the processes that your ippTool creates. The label is then carried along to child processes as you step through subsequent stages of the IPP.  For stages that are downstream of your initial labeled process, you may select the labeled outputs using the <code>-label</code> option.

     51==== blocking ====
    5252If you have been consistently applying labels as you inject your data or as you start your chip processes, then you can efficiently use the ippTools label-blocking feature to select out just a particular subset that you do (or don't) want to process right away.  In any ippTool, use the <code>-block</code> option to set a block on a particular label.  Use <code>-unblock</code> to remove that block.  The <code>-masked</code> and <code>-unmasked</code> options will print out a list showing which exposures are carrying what labels, and whether or not they are currently being blocked from processing.

    6664Most of the major modes are similar to modes from other ippTools.  The most commonly used modes are discussed here.

    7068You must define a workdir with <code>-workdir</code>.  It is recommended to use <code>-label</code> to keep things organized.

    8583As of 2008-09-18  on ipp-2.6.1 this can only change the state.  Use 'new' to make it a pending job in the pantasks queue.  Use 'full' to indicate successful completion.   Any string is valid.

    8987As described above, each stackRun may create multiple summed skyfiles.  Use this mode to revert and restart any problemative summed skyfiles.
