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