The
lp
utility is a front-end to the print spooler as required by the
IEEE Std 1003.2 ("
POSIX.2")
specification.
It effectively invokes
lpr(1)
with the proper set of arguments.
It generally prints the named files on the destination printer.
The following options are available:
|
| -c
|
| |
Make the
lp
command exit only after further access to any of the input files is no
longer required.
The application can then safely delete or modify the
files without affecting the output operation.
|
| -d dest
|
| |
Specify a particular printer.
If no
-d
is provided on the command line, the contents of the environment
variables
LPDEST
or
PRINTER
(with this precedence)
are taken as the destination printer.
|
| -m
|
| |
Send mail upon completion.
|
| -n num
|
| |
Specify that
num
copies of each of the named files shall be printed.
|
| -o option
|
| |
Printer specific options.

option for SVR.
|
