11ppdcfile - cups ppd compiler source file format
12<h2 class="title"><a name="DESCRIPTION">Description</a></h2>
13The CUPS PPD compiler reads meta files that contain descriptions
14of one or more PPD files to be generated by <i>ppdc</i>. This man
15page provides a quick reference to the supported keywords and
16should be used in conjunction with the online help for CUPS.
17<p>The source file format is plain ASCII text that can be edited
18using your favorite text editor. Comments are supported using
19the C (/* ... */) and C++ (// ...) comment mechanisms.
20<p>Printer driver information can be grouped and shared using
21curly braces ({ ... }); PPD files are written when a close
22brace or end-of-file is seen and a PCFileName directive has been
23defined.
24<p>Directives may be placed anywhere on a line and are followed by
25one or more values. The following is a list of the available
26directives and the values they accept:
