cupsd - cups scheduler
cupsd [ -c config-file ]
[ -f ] [ -F ] [ -h ] [ -l ] [ -t ]
cupsd is the scheduler for CUPS.
It implements a printing system based upon the Internet Printing Protocol,
version 2.1. If no options are specified on the command-line then the default
configuration file /etc/cups/cupsd.conf will be used.
- -c config-file
- Uses the named configuration file.
- -f
- Run cupsd in the foreground; the default
is to run in the background as a "daemon".
- -F
- Run cupsd in the foreground
but detach the process from the controlling terminal and current directory.
This is useful for running cupsd from init(8)
.
- -h
- Shows the program usage.
- -l
- This option is passed to cupsd when it is run from launchd(8)
or systemd(8)
.
- -t
- Test the configuration file for syntax errors.
