/*
 * A typical usage of BB lpd looks as follows:
 * # tcpsvd -E 0 515 lpd SPOOLDIR [HELPER-PROG [ARGS...]]
 * 
 * This means a network listener is started on port 515 (default for LP protocol). 
 * When a client connection is made (via lpr) lpd first change its working directory to SPOOLDIR.
 * 
 * SPOOLDIR is the spool directory which contains printing queues 
 * and should have the following structure:
 * 
 * SPOOLDIR/
 * 	<queue1>
 * 	...
 * 	<queueN>
 * 
 * <queueX> can be of two types:
 * 	A. a printer character device or an ordinary file a link to such;
 * 	B. a directory.
 * 
 * In case A lpd just dumps the data it receives from client (lpr) to the 
 * end of queue file/device. This is non-spooling mode.
 * 
 * In case B lpd enters spooling mode. It reliably saves client data along with control info 
 * in two unique files under the queue directory. These files are named dfAXXXHHHH and cfAXXXHHHH, 
 * where XXX is the job number and HHHH is the client hostname. Unless a printing helper application 
 * is specified lpd is done at this point.
 * 
 * If HELPER-PROG (with optional arguments) is specified then lpd continues to process client data:
 * 	1. it reads and parses control file (cfA...). The parse process results in setting environment 
 * 	variables whose values were passed in control file; when parsing is complete, lpd deletes 
 * 	control file.
 * 	2. it spawns specified helper application. It is then the helper application who is responsible 
 * 	for both actual printing and deleting processed data file.
 * 
 * A good lpr passes control files which when parsed provide the following variables:
 * $H = host which issues the job
 * $P = user who prints
 * $C = class of printing (what is printed on banner page)
 * $J = the name of the job
 * $L = print banner page
 * $M = the user to whom a mail should be sent if a problem occurs
 * $l = name of datafile ("dfAxxx") - file whose content are to be printed
 * 
 * Thus, a typical helper can be something like this:
 * #!/bin/sh
 * cat "$l" >/dev/lp0
 * mv -f "$l" save/
 *
