+ * 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/
