DESCRIPTION

14       ppdc  compiles  PPDC source files into one or more PPD files. This pro‐
15       gram is deprecated and will be removed in a future release of CUPS.
16
17       The -D option sets the named variable for use in the source file. It is
18       equivalent to using the #define directive in the source file.
19
20       The  -I  option  specifies  an alternate include directory; multiple -I
21       options can be supplied to add additional directories.
22
23       The -c option specifies a single message catalog file  in  GNU  gettext
24       source format (filename.po) to be used for localization.
25
26       The -d option specifies the output directory for PPD files. The default
27       output directory is "ppd".
28
29       The -l option specifies one or more languages to  use  when  localizing
30       the  PPD file(s). The default language is "en" (English). Separate mul‐
31       tiple       languages       with       commas,       for        example
32       "de_DE,en_UK,es_ES,es_MX,es_US,fr_CA,fr_FR,it_IT" will create PPD files
33       with German, UK  English,  Spanish  (Spain,  Mexico,  and  US),  French
34       (France and Canada), and Italian languages in each file.
35
36       The -m option specifies that the output filename should be based on the
37       ModelName value instead of FileName or PCFilenName.
38
39       The -t option specifies that PPD files should be tested instead of gen‐
40       erated.
41
42       The  -v option provides more verbose output, basically a running status
43       of which files are being loaded or written.
44
45       The -z option generates compressed PPD  files  (filename.ppd.gz).   The
46       default is to generate uncompressed PPD files.
47
48       The  --cr,  --crlf,  and  --lf options specify the line ending to use -
49       carriage return, carriage return and  line  feed,  or  line  feed.  The
50       default is to use the line feed character alone.
