SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

13       The foomatic-ppd-options program reads the specified PPD files or stdin
14       and decodes the PPD file to produce a list of options.  This is  really
15       just a text based version of other print configuration tools.
16
17
18       The output format consists of a set of lines, each starting with a key‐
19       word, followed by a set of options and the default value.  For example:
20
21              makemodel = Tektronix Phaser 350 Foomatic/Postscript (recommended)
22              name=PageSize; default=Letter; options=Letter (US Letter), \
23                  A4 (A4), 11x17 (11x17), A3 (A3), A5 (A5), B5 (B5 \(JIS\)),...
24              name=PageRegion; default=Letter; options=Letter (US Letter), A4 (A4), ...
25
26
27       Each option starts with the name tag, followed by a default  value  (if
28       any),  followed  by  the  set of options and a comment describing them.
29       Punctuation in the comment is escaped.

31   Options

34
35
36       [ files ]
37            The list of PPD files to read for options.  A '-' causes STDIN  to
38            be read.

EXIT STATUS

43       foomatic-ppd-options  exits  with a 0 status if successful, and nonzero
44       if an error.  An error  message  is  also  printed  on  standard  error
45       (STDERR).
