8.2. lprm Job Selection

Jobs are selected by providing a job number, or glob pattern that is matched to the user name and and job identifier. If multiple patterns are provided each is applied in turn against the jobs in a queue until all have been tried. If any one of the patterns match then the job status is displayed.

If no selection information is provided then the user name performing the request is used as the selection pattern, and only the first job that matches is removed.

The all pattern will match all jobs in the queue.

The user must have permission to control the queue or to remove a selected job in order for job removal to succeed.
