NAME
       spdinit - interpret setup files


SYNOPSIS
       spdinit printer formtype


DESCRIPTION
       spdinit is an internal program used by spd(8) to decode printer setup files for the GNUspool spooler and
       document management system.

       It is only ever intended to be invoked by the despooler process spd(8), and the interface is not in any
       way guaranteed in future releases.

       Output is to standard output, and it may be useful to run strings(1) on the result to see whether setup
       files have produced the expected result.


FILES
       gnuspool.conf master configuration file

       int-config message file

       /var/spool/gnuspool spool directory

       gnuspoolptrs printer setup file directory

       spshed_reps error log file


ENVIRONMENT
       SPOOLDIR alternative location for spool directory
       SPROGDIR alternative location for spool programs
       SPOOLPT alternative location for printer descriptions


SEE ALSO
       gspl-start(1), gnuspool.conf(5), gnuspool.hosts(5), spd(8), spshed(8).


DIAGNOSTICS
       spdinit is usually invoked indirectly, via spd(8) and spshed(8) from system startup procedures or other
       programs such as gspl-start(1).

       Diagnostics are not written to any terminal but to the file spshed_reps.

       In the event of any problems (typically syntax errors) this file should be examined.
