DESCRIPTION
The PAPPL system functions provide access to the system object. System are created and
deleted by the printer application while the life cycle of the pappl_system_t object is
managed automatically for the printer application. The papplSystemCreate function creates
a new system while the papplSystemDelete function deletes a system.
The papplSystemRun function starts a system while the papplSystemShutdown function stops a
running system.
The papplSystemGet functions get the current values associated with a system while the
papplSystemSet functions set the current values associated with a system.

FUNCTIONS
papplSystemAddEvent
Add a notification event.
void papplSystemAddEvent (
pappl_system_t *system,
pappl_printer_t *printer,
pappl_job_t *job,
pappl_event_t event,
const char *message,
...
);
papplSystemAddListeners
Add network or domain socket listeners.
bool papplSystemAddListeners (
pappl_system_t *system,
const char *name
);
This function adds socket listeners. The "name" parameter specifies the listener address.
Names starting with a slash (/) specify a UNIX domain socket path, otherwise the name is
treated as a fully-qualified domain name or numeric IPv4 or IPv6 address. If name is
NULL, the "any" addresses are used ("0.0.0.0" and "[::]").
Listeners cannot be added after papplSystemRun is called.
papplSystemAddMIMEFilter
Add a file filter to the system.
void papplSystemAddMIMEFilter (
pappl_system_t *system,
const char *srctype,
const char *dsttype,
pappl_mime_filter_cb_t cb,
void *data
);
This function adds a file filter to the system to be used for processing different kinds
of document data in print jobs. The "srctype" and "dsttype" arguments specify the source
and destination MIME media types as constant strings. A destination MIME media type of
"image/pwg-raster" specifies a filter that uses the driver's raster interface. Other
destination types imply direct submission to the output device using the papplDeviceXxx
functions.
5 Note: This function may not be called while the system is running.
papplSystemCreate
Create a system object.
pappl_system_t * papplSystemCreate (
pappl_soptions_t options,
const char *name,
int port,
const char *subtypes,
const char *spooldir,
const char *logfile,
pappl_loglevel_t loglevel,
const char *auth_service,
bool tls_only
);
This function creates a new system object, which is responsible for managing all the
printers, jobs, and resources used by the printer application.
The "options" argument specifies which options are enabled for the server:
• PAPPL_SOPTIONS_NONE: No options.
• PAPPL_SOPTIONS_DNSSD_HOST: When resolving DNS-SD service name collisions, use the
DNS-SD hostname instead of a serial number or UUID.
• PAPPL_SOPTIONS_WEB_LOG: Include the log file web page.
• PAPPL_SOPTIONS_MULTI_QUEUE: Support multiple printers.
• PAPPL_SOPTIONS_WEB_NETWORK: Include the network settings web page.
• PAPPL_SOPTIONS_RAW_SOCKET: Accept jobs via raw sockets starting on port 9100.
• PAPPL_SOPTIONS_WEB_REMOTE: Allow remote queue management.
• PAPPL_SOPTIONS_WEB_SECURITY: Include the security settings web page.
• PAPPL_SOPTIONS_WEB_INTERFACE: Include the standard printer and job monitoring web
pages.
• PAPPL_SOPTIONS_WEB_TLS: Include the TLS settings page.
• PAPPL_SOPTIONS_USB_PRINTER: Accept jobs via USB for the default printer (embedded
Linux only).
The "name" argument specifies a human-readable name for the system.
The "port" argument specifies the port number to bind to. A value of 0 will cause an
available port number to be assigned when the first listener is added with the
papplSystemAddListeners function.
The "subtypes" argument specifies one or more comma-delimited DNS-SD service sub-types
such as "_print" and "_universal".
The "spooldir" argument specifies the location of job files. If NULL, a temporary
directory is created.
The "logfile" argument specifies where to send log messages. If NULL, the log messages
are written to a temporary file.
The "loglevel" argument specifies the initial logging level.
The "auth_service" argument specifies a PAM authentication service name. If NULL, no user
authentication will be provided.
The "tls_only" argument controls whether the printer application will accept unencrypted
connections. In general, this argument should always be false (allow unencrypted
connections) since not all clients support encrypted printing.

papplSystemSetSaveCallback(system, (pappl_save_cb_t)papplSystemSaveState,
(void *)filename);
```
inter cannot be created (e.g., because the driver name is no longer valid) then that
printer and all of its job history will be lost. In the case of a bad driver name, a
printer application's driver callback can perform any necessary mapping of the driver
name, including the use its auto-add callback to find a compatible new driver.

void *data
);
This function sets a custom MIME typing callback for the system. The MIME typing callback
extends the built-in MIME typing support for other media types that are supported by the
application, typically vendor print formats.
The callback function receives a buffer containing the initial bytes of the document data,
the length of the buffer, and the callback data. It can then return NULL if the content
is not recognized or a constant string containing the MIME media type, for example
"application/vnd.hp-pcl" for HP PCL print data.

);
This function sets the unique positive integer identifier that will be used for the next
printer that is created. It is typically only called as part of restoring the state of a
system.
5 Note: The next printer ID can only be set prior to calling
5 papplSystemRun.
papplSystemSetOperationCallback
Set the IPP operation callback.
void papplSystemSetOperationCallback (
pappl_system_t *system,
pappl_ipp_op_cb_t cb,
void *data
);
This function sets a custom IPP operation handler for the system that is called for any
IPP operations that are not handled by the built-in IPP services.
5 Note: The operation callback can only be set prior to calling
5 papplSystemRun.
papplSystemSetOrganization
Set the system organization string, if any.
void papplSystemSetOrganization (
pappl_system_t *system,
const char *value
);
This function sets the organization name for the system. If NULL, the name is cleared.
papplSystemSetOrganizationalUnit
Set the system organizational unit string, if any.
void papplSystemSetOrganizationalUnit (
pappl_system_t *system,
const char *value
);
This function sets the organizational unit name for the system. If NULL, the name is
cleared.
papplSystemSetPassword
Set the access password hash string.
void papplSystemSetPassword (
pappl_system_t *system,
const char *hash
);
This function sets the hash for the web access password. The hash string is generated
using the papplSystemHashPassword function.
5 Note: The access password is only used when the PAM authentication service
5 is not set.
papplSystemSetPrinterDrivers
Set the list of drivers and the driver callbacks.
void papplSystemSetPrinterDrivers (
pappl_system_t *system,
int num_drivers,
pappl_pr_driver_t *drivers,
pappl_pr_autoadd_cb_t autoadd_cb,
pappl_pr_create_cb_t create_cb,
pappl_pr_driver_cb_t driver_cb,
void *data
);
This function sets the lists of printer drivers, the optional auto-add callback function,
the optional creation callback, and the required driver initialization callback function.
The auto-add callback ("autoadd_cb") finds a compatible driver name for the specified
printer. It is used when the client or user specifies the "auto" driver name, and for the
"autoadd" sub-command for the papplMainloop API.
The creation callback ("create_cb") is called at the end of printer creation to make any
common changes or additions to a new printer. It is typically used to add extra web
pages, add per-printer static resources, and/or initialize the contact and location
information.
The driver initialization callback ("driver_cb") is called to initialize the
pappl_pr_driver_data_t structure, which provides all of the printer capabilities and
callbacks for printing.
papplSystemSetSaveCallback
Set the save callback.
void papplSystemSetSaveCallback (
pappl_system_t *system,
pappl_save_cb_t cb,
void *data
);
This function sets a callback that is used to periodically save the current system state.
Typically the callback function ("cb") is papplSystemSaveState and the callback data
("data") is the name of the state file:
papplSystemSetSaveCallback(system, (pappl_save_cb_t)papplSystemSaveState,
(void *)filename);
5 Note: The save callback can only be set prior to calling
5 papplSystemRun.
papplSystemSetUUID
Set the system UUID.
void papplSystemSetUUID (
pappl_system_t *system,
const char *value
);
This function sets the system UUID value, overriding the default (generated) value. It is
typically used when restoring the state of a previous incarnation of the system.
5 Note: The UUID can only be set prior to calling papplSystemRun.
papplSystemSetVersions
Set the firmware names and versions.
void papplSystemSetVersions (
pappl_system_t *system,
int num_versions,
pappl_version_t *versions
);
This function sets the names and versions of each firmware/software component of the
printer application.
papplSystemSetWiFiCallbacks
Set Wi-Fi callbacks.
void papplSystemSetWiFiCallbacks (
pappl_system_t *system,
pappl_wifi_join_cb_t join_cb,
pappl_wifi_list_cb_t list_cb,
pappl_wifi_status_cb_t status_cb,
void *data
);
This function sets the 802.11 Wi-Fi interface callbacks for the system. The "join_cb" is
used to join a Wi-Fi network, the "list_cb" is used to list available networks, and the
"status_cb" is used to query the current Wi-Fi network connection status and Secure Set
Identifier (SSID). The "join_cb" and "status_cb" functions are used to support getting
and setting the IPP "printer-wifi-state", "printer-wifi-ssid", and "printer-wifi-password"
attributes, while the "list_cb" function enables changing the Wi-Fi network from the
network web interface, if enabled.
Note: The Wi-Fi callbacks can only be set prior to calling papplSystemRun.
papplSystemShutdown
Shutdown the system.
void papplSystemShutdown (
pappl_system_t *system
);
This function tells the system to perform an orderly shutdown of all printers and to
terminate the main loop.
