How to name a layer output to GIMP

So, I have a filter which creates three new layers, which then appear in GIMP (for further use). How can make Gmic name those layers??

Indeed, it’s easy, but not well documented at this time.
Using command -name in a G’MIC script allows to set the corresponding GIMP layer name, but also the blending mode, opacity and position, if necessary.
Something like this :

-name[0] "name(My Cool Layer),pos(0,0),mode(multiply),opacity(50)"

You can of course discard the properties you don’t want to set, so

-name[0] "name(My Cool Layer)"

is also fine.
