32.SH DESCRIPTION
33\fIppdc\fR compiles PPDC source files into one or more PPD
34files.
35.PP
36The \fI-D\fR option sets the named variable for use in the
37source file. It is equivalent to using the #define directive
38in the source file.
39.PP
40The \fI-I\fR option specifies an alternate include directory;
41multiple \fI-I\fR options can be supplied to add additional
42directories.
43.PP
44The \fI-c\fR option specifies a single message catalog file in GNU
45gettext source format (filename.po) to be used for localization.
46.PP
47The \fI-d\fR option specifies the output directory for PPD
48files. The default output directory is "ppd".
49.PP
50The \fI-l\fR option specifies one or more languages to use when
51localizing the PPD file(s). The default language is "en"
52(English). Separate multiple languages with commas, for example
53"de_DE,en_UK,es_ES,es_MX,es_US,fr_CA,fr_FR,it_IT" will create PPD
54files with German, UK English, Spanish (Spain, Mexico, and US),
55French (France and Canada), and Italian languages in each file.
56.PP
18d049b0 57The \fI-m\fR option specifies that the output filename should be
58based on the ModelName value instead of FileName or PCFilenName.
59.PP
60The \fI-t\fR option specifies that PPD files should be tested instead
61of generated.
62.PP
64c60afc 63The \fI-v\fR option provides more verbose output, basically a
64running status of which files are being loaded or written.
65.PP
66The \fI-z\fR option generates compressed PPD files (filename.ppd.gz).
67The default is to generate uncompressed PPD files.
68.PP
69The \fI--cr\fR, \fI--crlf\fR, and \fI--lf\fR options specify the
70line ending to use - carriage return, carriage return and line feed,
71or line feed. The default is to use the line feed character alone.
