.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBppdc\fR compiles PPDC source files into one or more PPD files.
\fBThis program is deprecated and will be removed in a future release of CUPS.\fR
.SH OPTIONS
\fBppdc\fR supports the following options:
.TP 5
\fB\-D \fIname\fR[\fB=\fIvalue\fR]
Sets the named variable for use in the source file.
It is equivalent to using the \fI#define\fR directive in the source file.
.TP 5
\fB\-I \fIinclude-directory\fR
Specifies an alternate include directory.
Multiple \fI-I\fR options can be supplied to add additional directories.
.TP 5
\fB\-c \fImessage-catalog\fR
Specifies a single message catalog file in GNU gettext (filename.po) or Apple strings (filename.strings) format to be used for localization.
.TP 5
\fB\-d \fIoutput-directory\fR
Specifies the output directory for PPD files.
The default output directory is "ppd".
.TP 5
\fB\-l \fIlanguage(s)\fR
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.
.TP 5
.B \-m
Specifies that the output filename should be based on the ModelName value instead of FileName or PCFilenName.
.TP 5
.B \-t
Specifies that PPD files should be tested instead of generated.
.TP 5
.B \-v
Specifies verbose output, basically a running status of which files are being loaded or written.
.B \-z
Generates compressed PPD files (filename.ppd.gz).
The default is to generate uncompressed PPD files.
.TP 5
\fB\-\-cr\fR
.TP 5
\fB\-\-crlf\fR
.TP 5
\fB\-\-lf\fR
Specifies the line ending to use - carriage return, carriage return and line feed, or line feed alone.
The default is to use the line feed character alone.
