LPR(I) 3/15/74 LPR(I)
NAME
lpr - on line print
SYNOPSIS
lpr [ - ] [ + ] [ +- ]file ...
DESCRIPTION
Lpr arranges to have the line printer daemon print the file
arguments.
Normally, each file is printed in the state it is found when
the line printer daemon reads it. If a particular file
argument is preceded by +, or a preceding argument of + has
been encountered, then lpr will make a copy for the daemon
to print. If the file argument is preceded by -, or a
preceding argument of - has been encountered, then lpr will
unlink (remove) the file.
If there are no arguments, then the standard input is read
and on-line printed. Thus lpr may be used as a filter.
