26 cupstestppd \- test conformance of ppd files

32 [ -q ] [-r] [ -v[v] ] -
34 \fIcupstestppd\fR tests the conformance of PPD files to the
35 Adobe PostScript Printer Description file format specification
36 version 4.3. It can also be used to list the supported options
37 and available fonts in a PPD file. The results of testing and
38 any other output are sent to the standard output.
40 The first form of \fIcupstestppd\fR tests one or more PPD files
41 on the command-line. The second form tests the PPD file provided
42 on the standard input.
44 \fIcupstestppd\fR supports the following options:
48 Specifies that no information should be displayed.
52 Relaxes the PPD conformance requirements so that common
53 whitespace, control character, and formatting problems are not
54 treated as hard errors.
58 Specifies that detailed conformance testing results should be
59 displayed rather than the concise PASS/FAIL/ERROR status.
63 Specifies that all information in the PPD file should be
64 displayed in addition to the detailed conformance testing
67 The \fI-q\fR, \fI-v\fR, and \fI-vv\fR options are mutually exclusive.
69 \fIcupstestppd\fR returns zero on success and non-zero on error. The
70 error codes are as follows:
74 Bad command-line arguments or missing PPD filename.
78 Unable to open or read PPD file.
82 The PPD file contains format errors that cannot be skipped.
86 The PPD file does not conform to the Adobe PPD specification.
88 The following command will test all PPD files under the current
89 directory and print the names of each file that does not
93 find . -name \\*.ppd \\! -exec cupstestppd -q '{}' \\; -print
96 The next command tests all PPD files under the current directory
97 and print detailed conformance testing results for the files
101 find . -name \\*.ppd \\! -exec cupstestppd -q '{}' \\; \\
102 -exec cupstestppd -v '{}' \\;
