  74.      _a_m_o_u_n_t         Specifies the number of bytes in _b_u_f_f_e_r.
  75.  
  76.      _p_r_i_n_t_e_r        Specifies the name of the printer on which the job is to
  77.                     be printed.  If _p_r_i_n_t_e_r is NNNNUUUULLLLLLLL, the default printer for
  78.                     the current spooling system is used.
  79.  
  80.      _n_u_m__c_o_p_i_e_s     Specifies the number of copies of the job that are to be
  81.                     printed.  The value specified must be greater than 0.
  82.  
  83.      _c_o_p_y           If set to 1, this parameter specifies that the file to be
  84.                     printed should be copied to the spooling directory for the
  85.                     destination printer. If set to 0, a link will be created
  86.                     in the spooling directory pointing to the real file. If a
  87.                     link is created, the user should not change or delete the
  88.                     file until it has been printed.
  89.  
  90.      _m_a_i_l           If set to 1, this parameter indicates that mail should be
  91.                     sent to the user upon completion of printing. If set to 0,
  92.                     no mail will be sent.

  94.      _t_i_t_l_e          Specifies a title to be printed on the banner page of the
  95.                     print job. If set to NNNNUUUULLLLLLLL, the system dependent default
  96.                     title, if any, will be printed.
  97.  
  98.      _o_p_t_i_o_n_s        The file(s) specified to this function are submitted to
  99.                     the spooling system print command corresponding to the
  100.                     current default spooling system. For System V, _S_L_S_u_b_m_i_t_J_o_b
  101.                     executes _l_p(_1) and for BSD, the function executes _l_p_r(_1).
  102.                     Each of these spooling system commands allows option flags
  103.                     and parameters not covered by the _S_L_S_u_b_m_i_t_J_o_b formal
  104.                     parameter list. The _o_p_t_i_o_n_s string provides the means to
  105.                     pass parameters that are spooling system specific.  The
  106.                     string specified is passed unchanged to the appropriate
  107.                     spooling system print command. If there are no options to

  224.      All mention of "fields" refers to the fields of the _S_L_P_r_i_n_t_J_o_b structure.
  225.  
  226.      1.   Under the  BSD spooling system, the _j_o_b__i_d field will be set to
  227.           NNNNUUUULLLLLLLL.  To determine the job ID under BSD spooling, the printer queue
  228.           must be examined manually.
  229.  
  230.      2.   Under System V spooling, the _j_o_b__i_d field will be set to NNNNUUUULLLLLLLL if the
  231.           -_s flag is passed using the _o_p_t_i_o_n_s parameter.
  232.  
  233.      3.   The _u_s_e_r_n_a_m_e field contains the name of the user submitting the job
  234.           based on the real user id, not the effective user ID. This is
  235.           because the spooling system determines job ownership based on real
  236.           user ID.
  237.  
  238.      4.   The _t_i_m_e__s_t_a_m_p field contains the value returned by the time(2)
  239.           function. Refer to the time(2) and ctime(3) man pages for
