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 proto-
     col 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  pro-
     cessing, 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.
