The
|
|
.Nm

|
utility is a front-end to the print spooler as required by the

|
|
files without affecting the output operation.

|

|

are taken as the destination printer.

.Sh STANDARDS
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command is expected to comply with the
|
|
.St -p1003.2
|
|
specification.
|
|
.Sh AUTHORS

This implementation of the
|
|
.Nm
|
|

.An J\(:org Wunsch .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The
|
|
.St -p1003.2
|
|
specification does not provide any means to print non-text files. It
|
|
rather requires the files to be printed to be text files limited to
|
|
reasonable line lengths and printable characters.
