       If no if is specified, of is used instead, with the distinction that of

       Thus, if is better suited to performing accounting.  The of is only
       given the width and length flags.

<?><?> LOGGING
       Error messages generated by the line printer programs themselves (that
       is, the lp*  programs) are logged by syslog(3) using the LPR facility.
       Messages printed on stderr of one of the filters are sent to the corre-
       sponding lf file.  The filters may, of course, use syslog themselves.

       Error messages sent to the console have a carriage return and a line
       feed appended to them, rather than just a line feed.
