Abstract
We give a characterization of the measured geodesic laminations which can occur as the bending measured lamination of some geometrically finite metric on a 3-manifold. When the 3-manifold has incompressible boundary, such a characterization has already been given by F. Bonahon and J.-P. Otal. Here we deal with the general case.
