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.
