25 .SH NAME
26 cupsd \- common unix printing system daemon
27 .SH SYNOPSIS
28 .B cupsd
29 [ \-c
30 .I config-file
31 ] [ \-f ] [ \-F ]
32 .SH DESCRIPTION
33 \fIcupsd\fR is the scheduler for the Common UNIX Printing System. It
34 implements a printing system based upon the Internet Printing Protocol,
35 version 1.1. If no options are specified on the command-line then the
36 default configuration file (usually \fI/etc/cups/cupsd.conf\fR) will be
37 used.
38 .PP
39 The \fI-f\fR option forces \fIcupsd\fR to run in the foreground; the
40 default is to run in the background as a "daemon".
41 .PP
42 The \fI-F\fR option forces \fIcupsd\fR to run in the foreground
43 but detaches the process from the controlling terminal and
44 current directory. This is useful for running \fIcupsd\fR from
45 \fIinit\fR.
46 .SH COMPATIBILITY
47 \fIcupsd\fR implements all of the required IPP/1.1 attributes and
48 operations. It also implements several CUPS-specific administration
49 operations.
