NAME
       cups-deviced - cups device daemon

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

DESCRIPTION
       cups-deviced  polls  the  backends  in  /usr/lib/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.
