<i>ppdc</i> compiles PPDC source files into one or more PPD
files. <b>This program is deprecated and will be removed in a future release of
CUPS.</b>
<p>The <i>-D</i> option sets the named variable for use in the
source file. It is equivalent to using the #define directive
in the source file.
<p>The <i>-I</i> option specifies an alternate include directory;
multiple <i>-I</i> options can be supplied to add additional
directories.
<p>The <i>-c</i> option specifies a single message catalog file in GNU
gettext source format (filename.po) to be used for localization.
<p>The <i>-d</i> option specifies the output directory for PPD
files. The default output directory is "ppd".
<p>The <i>-l</i> 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.
<p>The <i>-m</i> option specifies that the output filename should be
based on the ModelName value instead of FileName or PCFilenName.
<p>The <i>-t</i> option specifies that PPD files should be tested instead
of generated.
<p>The <i>-v</i> option provides more verbose output, basically a
running status of which files are being loaded or written.
<p>The <i>-z</i> option generates compressed PPD files (filename.ppd.gz).
The default is to generate uncompressed PPD files.
<p>The <i>--cr</i>, <i>--crlf</i>, and <i>--lf</i> 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.
