description
The
foomatic-ppd-options program reads the specified PPD
files or stdin and decodes the PPD file to produce a list of
options. This is really just a text based version of other
print configuration tools.
The output
format consists of a set of lines, each starting with a
keyword, followed by a set of options and the default value.
For example:
makemodel =
Tektronix Phaser 350 Foomatic/Postscript (recommended)
name=PageSize; default=Letter; options=Letter (US Letter), \
A4 (A4), 11x17 (11x17), A3 (A3), A5 (A5), B5 (B5
\(JIS\)),...
name=PageRegion; default=Letter; options=Letter (US Letter),
A4 (A4), ...
Each option
starts with the name tag, followed by a default value
(if any), followed by the set of options and a comment
describing them. Punctuation in the comment is escaped.
Options
-ddebuglevel
Set the debug level. 0 disables
debug messages.
[ files ]
The list of PPD files to read
for options. A ’-’ causes STDIN to be read.
exit status
foomatic-ppd-options exits with a 0 status if successful,
and nonzero if an error. An error message is also printed on
standard error (STDERR).
bugs
Probably. But
it has been tested.
