NAME
notifier - cups notification interface
SYNOPSIS
notifier recipient [
user-data ]
DESCRIPTION
The CUPS notifier interface provides a standard method for adding
support for new event notification methods to CUPS. Each notifier
delivers one or more IPP events from the standard input to the
specified recipient.
Notifiers
MUST read IPP messages from the standard input using the
ippNew() and
ippReadFile() functions and exit on error. Notifiers
are encouraged to exit after a suitable period of inactivity, however
they may exit after reading the first message or stay running until
an error is seen. Notifiers inherit the environment and can use the
logging mechanism documented in
filter(7).
