- Makefile: WARNS=6
- man page: sort options, better xrefs, informative BUGS section
- C source: proper option parsing, use printer control (.ctl) device,

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility is used to set either the interrupt-driven, extended, standard,
|
|
or polling mode of individual
|
|
.Xr lpt 4
|
|
devices.
|
|
When a printer is switched from
|
|
a mode to another, this change will only take effect
|
|
the next time the device is opened.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Extended mode is anything the parallel port interface can support.
|
|
For an
|
|
ECP/ISA parallel port, it may be FIFO+DMA or ECP.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The following command line options are supported:
|
|
.Bl -tag -width indent
|
|
.It Fl e
|
|
Turn on extended mode.
|
|
.It Fl i
|
|
Turn on interrupt-driven mode.
|
|
.It Fl p
|
|
Turn on polled mode.
|
|
.It Fl s
|
|
Turn on standard mode, i.e., turn off extended mode.
|
|
.It Fl d Ar control_device
|
|
Set the mode of the printer control device specified by
|
|
.Ar control_device .
|
|
The default value for
|
|
.Ar control_device
|
|
is
|
|
.Pa /dev/lpt0.ctl .
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|

One of
|
|
.Fl e , i , p
|
|
or

.Sh BUGS
|
|
The control device name should never have been an option,
|
|
but should have been an optional argument.
|
|
Because of this, a single argument is treated as a device name.
