  27 <i>ppdc</i> compiles PPDC source files into one or more PPD
  28 files. <b>This program is deprecated and will be removed in a future release of
  29 CUPS.</b>
  30 <p>The <i>-D</i> option sets the named variable for use in the
  31 source file. It is equivalent to using the #define directive
  32 in the source file.
  33 <p>The <i>-I</i> option specifies an alternate include directory;
  34 multiple <i>-I</i> options can be supplied to add additional
  35 directories.
  36 <p>The <i>-c</i> option specifies a single message catalog file in GNU
  37 gettext source format (filename.po) to be used for localization.
  38 <p>The <i>-d</i> option specifies the output directory for PPD
  39 files. The default output directory is "ppd".
  40 <p>The <i>-l</i> option specifies one or more languages to use when
  41 localizing the PPD file(s). The default language is "en"
  42 (English). Separate multiple languages with commas, for example
  43 "de_DE,en_UK,es_ES,es_MX,es_US,fr_CA,fr_FR,it_IT" will create PPD
  44 files with German, UK English, Spanish (Spain, Mexico, and US),
  45 French (France and Canada), and Italian languages in each file.
  46 <p>The <i>-m</i> option specifies that the output filename should be
  47 based on the ModelName value instead of FileName or PCFilenName.
  48 <p>The <i>-t</i> option specifies that PPD files should be tested instead
  49 of generated.
  50 <p>The <i>-v</i> option provides more verbose output, basically a
  51 running status of which files are being loaded or written.
  52 <p>The <i>-z</i> option generates compressed PPD files (filename.ppd.gz).
  53 The default is to generate uncompressed PPD files.
  54 <p>The <i>--cr</i>, <i>--crlf</i>, and <i>--lf</i> options specify the
  55 line ending to use - carriage return, carriage return and line feed,
  56 or line feed. The default is to use the line feed character alone.
