36.PP
37The \fI-D\fR option sets the named variable for use in the
38source file. It is equivalent to using the #define directive
39in the source file.
40.PP
41The \fI-I\fR option specifies an alternate include directory;
42multiple \fI-I\fR options can be supplied to add additional
43directories.
44.PP
45The \fI-c\fR option specifies a single message catalog file in GNU
46gettext source format (filename.po) to be used for localization.
47.PP
48The \fI-d\fR option specifies the output directory for PPD
49files. The default output directory is "ppd".
50.PP
51The \fI-l\fR option specifies one or more languages to use when
52localizing the PPD file(s). The default language is "en"
53(English). Separate multiple languages with commas, for example
54"de_DE,en_UK,es_ES,es_MX,es_US,fr_CA,fr_FR,it_IT" will create PPD
55files with German, UK English, Spanish (Spain, Mexico, and US),
56French (France and Canada), and Italian languages in each file.
57.PP

62of generated.
63.PP

MS
64The \fI-v\fR option provides more verbose output, basically a
65running status of which files are being loaded or written.
66.PP
67The \fI-z\fR option generates compressed PPD files (filename.ppd.gz).
68The default is to generate uncompressed PPD files.
69.PP
70The \fI--cr\fR, \fI--crlf\fR, and \fI--lf\fR options specify the
71line ending to use - carriage return, carriage return and line feed,
72or line feed. The default is to use the line feed character alone.
