# 6.3. Job Class and Priority

Options used:

- `break_classname_priority_link` FLAG classname does not set priority

- `default_priority=`default priority

- `ignore_requested_user_priority` FLAG ignore requested user priority

The `-Cclass` information is used placed in the control file; the default class and priority is set by the `default_priority` option (default `A`). The first letter of the class information is uppercased and then used as the job priority.

The `break_classname_priority_link` option causes lpr to place class information in the control file but not to use it to set the job priority. This is usually used in institutions where users should not specify their priority. Finally, the `ignore_requested_user_priority` is actually used by lpd to ignore the priority requested by users.
