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 delivers
one or more IPP events from the standard input to the specified recipi-
ent.
Notifiers MUST read IPP messages from the standard input using the ipp-
New() and ippReadFile() functions and exit on error. Notifiers are en-
couraged 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 mecha-
nism documented in filter(7).
