chkimprlicense(1)

NAME
     chkimprlicense - check if an Impressario license is available for
     psrip(1)

SYNOPSIS
     chkimprlicense  [-P printername] [-m message]

DESCRIPTION
     f3chkimprlicense calls the FLEXlm license checkout functions to determine
     if an Impressario license is available.  Currently, the only component of
     Impressario that requires a license is psrip(1).  chkimprlicense has less
     startup overhead then running psrip(1) directly and checking for a
     license access failure.

     f3chkimprlicense is intended for use by printer driver developers.  See
     the lp model file /var/spool/lp/model/laserjetPJL_model for example use.

     chkimprlicense does not output any messages to standard out or standard
     error.  The return status is used to determine if a license is available.

   Command Line Options
     chkimprlicense supports the following command line options:

     -P printer
               If specified, the printer status is set to faulted if a license
               is not available.  This causes the printer icon seen on the
               DeskTop and with printstatus(1) to change color to red to
               indicate a faulted state.   If -P is used then -m must be used.

     -m message
               If specified, the printer error message is set to this message
               if a license is not available.  This message is seen in the
               printstatus(1) status window for the printer specified with the
               -P option.  If -m is used then -P must be used.

NOTES
     Both -m and -P must be used together (if either is used).


RETURN VALUE
     0 is returned if an Impressario license is available and it will not
     expire in the next 90 days.  If a license will expire within the next 90
     days the number of days until expiration is returned.   -1 is returned if
     a license is not available (license not installed or has expired) or an
     error occurred.
