Description

-c config-file

Uses the named configuration file.

-f

Run cupsd in the foreground; the default is to run in the background as a "daemon".

-F

Run cupsd in the foreground but detach the process from the controlling terminal and current directory. This is useful for running cupsd from init(8).

-h

-l

This option is passed to cupsd when it is run from launchd(8).

Compatibility

cupsd implements all of the required IPP/1.1 attributes and operations. It also implements several CUPS-specific administration operations.
