NAME
       cups-deviced - cups device daemon

SYNOPSIS
       cups-deviced request-id limit user-id options

DESCRIPTION
       cups-deviced polls the backends in /usr/local/libexec/cups/backend for
       a list of available devices.  It is run by cupsd(8) in response to a
       CUPS-Get-Devices request. The output format is an IPP response message.
       The request-id argument is the request ID from the original IPP
       request, typically 1. The limit argument is the limit value from the
       original IPP request - 0 means no limit. The user-id argument is the
       requesting-user-name value from the original IPP request.  Finally, the
       options argument is a space-delimited list of attributes ("name=value
       name=value ...") that were passed in with the request. Currently cups-
       deviced looks for the requested-attributes attribute and tailors the
       output accordingly.
