description
ppdc
compiles PPDC source files into one or more PPD files.
This program is deprecated and will be removed in a
future release of CUPS.
The -D
option sets the named variable for use in the source file.
It is equivalent to using the #define directive in the
source file.
The -I
option specifies an alternate include directory; multiple
-I options can be supplied to add additional
directories.
The -c
option specifies a single message catalog file in GNU
gettext source format (filename.po) to be used for
localization.
The -d
option specifies the output directory for PPD files. The
default output directory is "ppd".
The -l
option specifies one or more languages to use when
localizing the PPD file(s). The default language is
"en" (English). Separate multiple languages with
commas, for example
"de_DE,en_UK,es_ES,es_MX,es_US,fr_CA,fr_FR,it_IT"
will create PPD files with German, UK English, Spanish
(Spain, Mexico, and US), French (France and Canada), and
Italian languages in each file.
The -m
option specifies that the output filename should be based on
the ModelName value instead of FileName or PCFilenName.
The -t
option specifies that PPD files should be tested instead of
generated.
The -v
option provides more verbose output, basically a running
status of which files are being loaded or written.
The -z
option generates compressed PPD files (filename.ppd.gz). The
default is to generate uncompressed PPD files.
The
--cr, --crlf, and --lf options specify
the line ending to use - carriage return, carriage return
and line feed, or line feed. The default is to use the line
feed character alone.
