NAME¶

printcap - 打印机相容性数据库

总览 SYNOPSIS¶

printcap

描述 DESCRIPTION¶

Printcap 是 termcap(5) 的简单版, 用来描述 line printers. 当用到 spool 系 统时, 一定会去参考 printcap 这个档. 允许动态地加入及删除印表机. 在这资料 库中的每一段叙述代表一台印表机. This data base may not be substituted for, as is possible for termcap, because it may allow accounting to be bypassed.

预设的印表机是 lp, 虽然环境变数 PRINTER 可能优于(override)此. 每一 个用到 spool 的软体都支援 -p 的选项, 用以选择印表机. 如果想知道如何为一 台印表机设定资料的讨论, 请参照 4.3 BSD Line Printer Spooler Manual.

相容性 CAPABILITIES¶

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

过滤器 FILTERS¶

lpd(8) 守护进程将创造出一个过滤的管线 (pipeline of filters) 来处理各个不同印 表机的档案. 过滤器将依照旗标来选择将何者送到 lpr(1) . 管线的设定值有:

           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 过滤器的用法是:

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

-c 这个旗标只有在 -l 旗标有列在 lpr 中时才可忽略. width 和 length 定义 了 page 的长和宽 (from pw and pl respectively). -n 和 -h 可指定列印工作拥有者 的 login name 和 host name. Acct-file 将忽略 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.

其它过滤器的呼叫用法如下:

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

如果要用 pixels 为单位来定长宽的话, 用 px 和 py 这二个变数. 所有的过滤器都经由 stdin 输入档案, stdout 输出到印表机, 用 stderr 或 syslog(3) 来记录(log), 而且不会忽略 SIGINT.

日志 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.
