in.lpd

in.lpd(1M)						  System Administration Commands						in.lpd(1M)

NAME

       in.lpd - BSD print protocol adaptor

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/lib/print/in.lpd

DESCRIPTION

       in.lpd  implements  the	network  listening  service  for the  BSD print protocol specified in RFC 1179. The  BSD print protocol provides a
       remote interface for systems to interact with a local spooling system. The protocol defines five standard requests from the client  to  the
       server: starting queue processing, transfering print jobs,  retrieving terse status, retrieving verbose status, and canceling print jobs.

       in.lpd  is  started  from   inetd. See inetd(1M). inetd waits for connections on TCP port 515. Upon receipt of a connect request, in.lpd is
       started to service the connection. Once the request has been filled, in.lpd closes the connection and exits.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0	       Successful completion.

       non-zero        An error occurred.

FILES

       /etc/printers.conf

	   System printer configuration database.

       printers.conf.byname

	   NIS version of /etc/printers.conf.

       printers.org_dir

	   NIS+ version of /etc/printers.conf.

       /usr/lib/print/bsd-adaptor/bsd_*.so*

	   Spooler translation modules.

ATTRIBUTES

       See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:

       |      ATTRIBUTE TYPE	     |	    ATTRIBUTE VALUE	   |

       svcs(1), inetadm(1M), inetd(1M), svcadm(1M), printers.conf(4), attributes(5), smf(5)

NOTES

       The in.lpd service is managed by the service management facility, smf(5), under the service identifier:

       svc:/network/lp

       Administrative actions on this service, such as enabling, disabling, or requesting restart, can be performed using svcadm(1M). Responsibil-
       ity for initiating and restarting this service is delegated to inetd(1M). Use inetadm(1M) to make configuration changes and to view config-
       uration information for this service. The service's status can be queried using the svcs(1) command.
