NAME
notifier - cups notification interface
SYNOPSIS
notifier recipient [ user-data ]
DESCRIPTION
The CUPS notifier interface provides a standard method for adding sup-
port for new event notification methods to CUPS. Each notifier deliv-
ers one or more IPP events from the standard input to the specified
recipient.
Notifiers MUST read IPP messages from the standard input using the ipp-
New() 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).
