    LPD(VIII)                     6/1/74                    LPD(VIII)

    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
