[SLE] What does /var/lib/apsfilter/rewindstdin do?

The apsfilter program (the printer filter) contains an implicit call on the program /var/lib/apsfilter/rewindstdin This program, alas, is in binary format. Can anyone tell me precisely what it does?

Hm... based on the name, I would say it resets standard input back to the beginning of a data stream so that the data can be processed again. Pure speculation of course. That would require that the data stream be saved someplace... -- To unsubscribe send e-mail to suse-linux-e-unsubscribe@suse.com For additional commands send e-mail to suse-linux-e-help@suse.com Also check the FAQ at http://www.suse.com/Support/Doku/FAQ/
