NAME

   cupsd - cups scheduler

SYNOPSIS

   cupsd  [  -c  cupsd.conf  ]  [  -f  ]  [  -F ] [ -h ] [ -l ] [ -s cups-
   files.conf ] [ -t ]

DESCRIPTION

   cupsd is the scheduler for CUPS. It implements a printing system  based
   upon  the Internet Printing Protocol, version 2.1, and supports most of
   the requirements for IPP Everywhere. If no options are specified on the
   command-line  then  the default configuration file /etc/cups/cupsd.conf
   will be used.

OPTIONS

   -c cupsd.conf
        Uses the named cupsd.conf 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).

   -s cups-files.conf
        Uses the named cups-files.conf configuration file.

   -t   Test the configuration file for syntax errors.
