26<b>ppdi</b> imports one or more PPD files into a PPD compiler source file.
27Multiple languages of the same PPD file are merged into a single printer definition to facilitate accurate changes for all localizations.
28<b>This program is deprecated and will be removed in a future release of CUPS.</b>
29<h2 class="title"><a name="OPTIONS">Options</a></h2>
30<b>ppdi</b> supports the following options:
31<dl class="man">
32<dt><b>-I </b><i>include-directory</i>
33<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Specifies an alternate include directory.
34Multiple <i>-I</i> options can be supplied to add additional directories.
35<dt><b>-o </b><i>source-file</i>
36<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Specifies the PPD source file to update.
37If the source file does not exist, a new source file is created.
38Otherwise the existing file is merged with the new PPD file(s) on the command-line.
39If no source file is specified, the filename <i>ppdi.drv</i> is used.
