To list more than one volume, separate the
numbers with a space. For example:
volformat 6 12 47 49
formats volumes 6, 12, 47, and 49.
In addition, to list more than one volume as a
range, separate the range of numbers with a
dash. For example:
volformat 6-12 47-49
formats volumes 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 47, 48,
and 49.
You may combine the two ways to list single
numbers and ranges. For example:
volformat 4 6-8 10-12 47-49 53
formats volumes 4, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 12, 47, 48,
49, and 53.
