SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

14       cupstestppd tests the conformance of PPD files to the Adobe  PostScript
15       Printer  Description file format specification version 4.3. It can also
16       be used to list the supported options and  available  fonts  in  a  PPD
17       file. The results of testing and any other output are sent to the stan‐
18       dard output.
19
20       The first form of cupstestppd tests one or more PPD files on  the  com‐
21       mand-line.  The second form tests the PPD file provided on the standard
22       input.
23

OPTIONS

25       cupstestppd supports the following options:
26
27       -I filename
28            Ignores all PCFileName warnings.
29
30       -I filters
31            Ignores all filter errors.
32
33       -I profiles
34            Ignores all profile errors.
35
36       -R rootdir
37            Specifies an alternate root directory for the filter,  pre-filter,
38            and other support file checks.
39
40       -W constraints
41            Report all UIConstraint errors as warnings.
42
43       -W defaults
44            Except  for size-related options, report all default option errors
45            as warnings.
46
47       -W filters
48            Report all filter errors as warnings.
49
50       -W profiles
51            Report all profile errors as warnings.
52
53       -W sizes
54            Report all media size errors as warnings.
55
56       -W translations
57            Report all translation errors as warnings.
58
59       -W all
60            Report all of the previous errors as warnings.
61
62       -W none
63            Report all of the previous errors as errors.
64
65       -q
66            Specifies that no information should be displayed.
67
68       -r
69            Relaxes the PPD conformance requirements  so  that  common  white‐
70            space,  control character, and formatting problems are not treated
71            as hard errors.
72
73       -v
74            Specifies that detailed conformance testing results should be dis‐
75            played rather than the concise PASS/FAIL/ERROR status.
76
77       -vv
78            Specifies that all information in the PPD file should be displayed
79            in addition to the detailed conformance testing results.
80
81       The -q, -v, and -vv options are mutually exclusive.
82

EXIT STATUS

84       cupstestppd returns zero on success and non-zero on  error.  The  error
85       codes are as follows:
86
87       1
88            Bad command-line arguments or missing PPD filename.
89
90       2
91            Unable to open or read PPD file.
92
93       3
94            The PPD file contains format errors that cannot be skipped.
95
96       4
97            The PPD file does not conform to the Adobe PPD specification.
98

EXAMPLES

100       The  following command will test all PPD files under the current direc‐
101       tory and print the names of each file that does not conform:
102
103           find . -name \*.ppd \! -exec cupstestppd -q '{}' \; -print
104
105       The next command tests all PPD files under the  current  directory  and
106       print  detailed  conformance  testing results for the files that do not
107       conform:
108
109           find . -name \*.ppd \! -exec cupstestppd -q '{}' \; \
110               -exec cupstestppd -v '{}' \;
