SPDINIT(8)
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.

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.
