NAME
lpd - line printer daemon
SYNOPSIS
/etc/lpd
DESCRIPTION
Lpd is the line printer daemon (spool area handler) invoked
by opr. It uses the directory /usr/lpd. The file lock in
that directory is used to prevent two daemons from becoming
active simultaneously. After the daemon has successfully
set the lock, it scans the directory for files beginning
with ``df.'' Lines in each df file specify files to be
printed in the same way as is done by the data-phone daemon
dpd (VIII).
FILES
/usr/lpd/* spool area
/dev/lp printer
