.SH "NAME"
libprinterconf \- A C library of routines for autodetecting printers
in Linux
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
Libprinterconf is a C library for autodetecting printers from Linux.
It currently supports two methods of autodetection: parallel port
detection and network detection.
The following functions are available:
.BI "pconf_detmethod_t *pconf_get_detection_methods (int " *count );
.br
.BI "char ** pconf_detect_printer (int " dettype ", char " *detinfo );
.br
.BI "char * pconf_autodetect_pport (long int " port );
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
Each of these is described in detail in its own man page. Of most
interest is pconf_detect_printer(). This function will execute one of
the detection methods and return an array of character strings, each
representing a single detected printer.
The actual format of these strings will depend on the detection
method. For parallel port detection, the string will be in the basic
form: "port=p;model=m". For a network printer the form is:
"printer=hostaddr;vendor=v;model=m".
This library is intended for use by printer detection and
configuration tools.
