Run \fIcupsd\fR in the foreground; the default is to run in the
background as a "daemon".
.TP 5
-F

Run \fIcupsd\fR in the foreground but detach the process from the
controlling terminal and current directory. This is useful for
running \fIcupsd\fR from \fIinit(8)\fR.
.TP 5
-h

Shows the program usage.
.TP 5
-l
.br
This option is passed to \fIcupsd\fR when it is run from

operations. It also implements several CUPS-specific administration
operations.
