The 3dmaskdump command does not have direct atlas region output, but you can get the results you want with just one more command. Besides the AFNI GUI, whereami can be used on the command line to generate tables of atlas ROIs from sets of xyz coordinates. The xyz coordinates should be either RAI/DICOM order by default (also 3dmaskdump output’s orientation order), or LPI/SPM order with the -lpi option. You may restrict the list of atlases queried by either supplying a specific atlas name on the command line or by setting the AFNI_ATLAS_LIST environment variable. Take this example lifted from afni11_roi.pdf from some our class documentation.

The clusterize command generates a list of coordinates (the “quiet” option removes the header lines), with one xyz coordinate for each cluster’s center of mass. The whereami command can then take those coordinates and produce the table of regions at or near those coordinates. Limiting the report to exact matches at a voxel or to a particular atlas can be done with additional options. For example,
whereami -coord_file visual_clusters.1D'[1,2,3]' -tab -atlas MNI_Glasser_HCP_v1.0 -max_search_radius 1

You may also use the whereami command to look up atlas ROIs with
whereami -atlas MNI_Glasser_HCP_v1.0 -show_atlas_code
