NAME

       cupsd - cups scheduler

SYNOPSIS

       cupsd [ -c config-file ] [ -f ] [ -F ] [ -h ] [ -l ] [ -t ]

DESCRIPTION

       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.

OPTIONS

       -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).

       -t
	    Test the configuration file for syntax errors.

COMPATIBILITY

       cupsd implements all of the required IPP/2.1 attributes and operations. It also implements several CUPS-specific administration operations.
