printcap - 列表機相容性數據庫

總覽 SYNOPSIS¶

printcap

描述 DESCRIPTION¶

Printcap 是 termcap(5) 的□□版, 用□描述 line printers. □用到 spool 系 □□, 一定□去□考 printcap □□□. 允□□□地加入及□除印表□. 在□□料 □中的每一段□述代表一台印表□. This data base may not be substituted for, as is possible for termcap, because it may allow accounting to be bypassed. □□的印表□是 lp, □然□境□□ PRINTER 可能□於(override)此. 每一 □用到 spool 的□□都支援 -p 的□□, 用以□□印表□. 如果想知道如何□一 台印表□□定□料的□□, □□照 4.3 BSD Line Printer Spooler Manual.

如果本地端印表□(local line printer) driver 支援 indentation 的□, daemon □ 知道如何去用它.

過濾器 FILTERS¶

lpd(8) 守護進程□□造出一□□□的管□ (pipeline of filters) □□理各□不同印 表□的□案. □□器□依照旗□□□□□何者送到 lpr(1) . 管□的□定值有:

           p            pr | if regular text + pr(1)
           none         If         regular text
           c            cf         cifplot
           d            df         DVI (tex)
           g            gf         plot(3)
           n            nf         ditroff
           f            rf         Fortran
           t            tf         troff
           v            vf         raster image

if □□器的用法是:

           if [-c] -wwidth -llength -iindent -n login -h host acct-file

-c □□旗□只有在 -l 旗□有列在 lpr 中□才可忽略. width 和 length 定□ 了 page 的□和□ (from pw and pl respectively). -n 和 -h 可指定列印工作□有者 的 login name 和 host name. Acct-file □忽略 printcap 中的描述. If no if is specified, of is used instead, with the distinction that of is opened only once, while if is opened for every individual job. Thus, if is better suited to performing accounting. The of is only given the width and length flags. 其它□□器的呼叫用法如下:

           filter -xwidth -ylength -n login -h host acct-file

如果要用 pixels □□位□定□□的□, 用 px 和 py □二□□□. 所有的□□器都□由 stdin □入□案, stdout □出到印表□, 用 stderr 或 syslog(3) □□□(log), 而且不□忽略 SIGINT.

日誌 LOGGING¶

Error messages generated by the line printer programs themselves (that is, the lp* programs) are logged by syslog(3) using the LPR facility. Messages printed on stderr of one of the filters are sent to the corre- sponding lf file. The filters may, of course, use syslog themselves. Error messages sent to the console have a carriage return and a line feed appended to them, rather than just a line feed.
