NAME
       cupsd - cups scheduler

SYNOPSIS

       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    /usr/lo-
       cal/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 back-
	    ground as a	"daemon".

       -F   Run	cupsd in the foreground	but detach the process from  the  con-
	    trolling  terminal	and current directory. This is useful for run-
	    ning 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.
