DESCRIPTION
       ppdc  compiles PPDC source files into one or more PPD files.  This pro‐
       gram is deprecated and will be removed in a future release of CUPS.

OPTIONS
       ppdc supports the following options:

       -D name[=value]
	    Sets the named variable for use in the source file.	 It is equiva‐
	    lent 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	(file‐
	    name.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 multi‐
	    ple	      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	Model‐
	    Name 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.
