ppdc(1) Apple Inc. ppdc(1)
ppdc - cups ppd compiler (deprecated)
ppdc [ -D name[=value] ] [ -I include-directory ] [ -c message-
catalog ] [ -d output-directory ] [ -l language(s) ] [ -m ] [ -t
] [ -v ] [ -z ] [ --cr ] [ --crlf ] [ --lf ] source-file
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.
ppdc supports the following options:
-D name[=value]
Sets the named variable for use in the source file. It is
equivalent to using the #define directive in the source
file.
-I include-directory
Specifies an alternate include directory. Multiple -I
options can be supplied to add additional directories.
-c message-catalog
Specifies a single message catalog file in GNU gettext
(filename.po) or Apple strings (filename.strings) format to
be used for localization.
-d output-directory
Specifies the output directory for PPD files. The default
output directory is "ppd".
-l language(s)
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.
-m Specifies that the output filename should be based on the
ModelName value instead of FileName or PCFilenName.
-t Specifies that PPD files should be tested instead of
generated.
-v Specifies verbose output, basically a running status of
which files are being loaded or written. -z Generates
compressed PPD files (filename.ppd.gz). The default is to
generate uncompressed PPD files.
--cr
--crlf
--lf Specifies the line ending to use - carriage return, carriage
return and line feed, or line feed alone. The default is to
use the line feed character alone.
PPD files are deprecated and will no longer be supported in a
future feature release of CUPS. Printers that do not support IPP
can be supported using applications such as ippeveprinter(1).
