Hmmm... mutter mutter... OK OK I just KNOW that some of you will not
like this idea...
Printcap '' information:
any key starting with 'server_xxx' will be used to set the xxx value
on the server. This allows you to do:
lp:
:server_remote_support=R -> remote_support=R for LPD
:[EMAIL PROTECTED] -> lp=lp@localhost for LPD
:server_filter=... -> filter=... for LPD
Sigh... its ugly, but it DOES allow you to have a single printcap entry
with both LPD server and client information.
And I already have the code in LPRng to do this...
In the initialization code add the following:
if( Is_server ){
Find_default_tags( info, Pc_var_list, "server_" );
Find_tags( info, &Config_line_list, "server_" );
}
In the Fix_Rm_Rp_info code add:
Find_tags( &Pc_entry_line_list, &PC_entry_line_list, "server_" );
Now we have an ADDITIONAL way of abusing configurations.
Any comments?
