NAME

6       foomatic-kitload - installs a data kit into the foomatic database.

SYNOPSIS

9       foomatic-kitload [ -k kit-dir] [ -d dest-dir]...
10

DESCRIPTION

12       foomatic-kitload  installs  a  foomatic  data  kit  into the local data
13       library.  It takes a -k dirname option, where dirname is  the  toplevel
14       directory  of  a  foomatic driver "kit".  A "kit" is a selection of XML
15       source files arranged exactly as in the source/section  of  the  master
16       database (ie, opt/driver/printer/ subdirs).
17
18       Gimp-Print's foomatic-generator produces exactly such a kit.
19
20       Foomatic-kitload  is  moderately paranoid about kits: the kit must con‐
21       tain at least one of printer, driver or opt; the kit must contain  only
22       files  ending in .xml, the kit cannot be the local library itself, etc.
23       But it does not inspect the contents of the kit files in any way.

27   Options
28       -k dirname
29                 dirname is the toplevel directory of a foomatic driver "kit".
30
31       -d destdir
32                 destdir is a prefix to prepend to  the  install  path.   This
33                 will  not  normally  be required, but is useful if installing
34                 into a temporary `staging area' prior to  installing  in  the
35                 final destination.

41       error occurs.
