description
foomatic-kitload
installs a foomatic data kit into the local data library. It
takes a -k dirname option, where dirname
is the toplevel directory of a foomatic driver
"kit". A "kit" is a selection of XML
source files arranged exactly as in the source/section of
the master database (ie, opt/driver/printer/ subdirs).
Gimp-Print’s
foomatic-generator produces exactly such a kit.
Foomatic-kitload
is moderately paranoid about kits: the kit must contain at
least one of printer, driver or opt;
the kit must contain only files ending in .xml, the
kit cannot be the local library itself, etc. But it does not
inspect the contents of the kit files in any way.
Options
-k dirname
dirname is the toplevel
directory of a foomatic driver "kit".
-d destdir
destdir is a prefix to prepend
to the install path. This will not normally be required, but
is useful if installing into a temporary ’staging
area’ prior to installing in the final
destination.
exit status
foomatic-kitload returns 0 on success, 255 or something
else when an error occurs.
