  45 <b>ppdc</b> compiles PPDC source files into one or more PPD files.

  48 <b>ppdc</b> supports the following options:
  49 <dl class="man">
  50 <dt><b>-D </b><i>name</i>[<b>=</b><i>value</i>]
  51 <dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Sets the named variable for use in the source file.
  52 It is equivalent to using the <i>#define</i> directive in the source file.
  53 <dt><b>-I </b><i>include-directory</i>
  54 <dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Specifies an alternate include directory.
  55 Multiple <i>-I</i> options can be supplied to add additional directories.
  56 <dt><b>-c </b><i>message-catalog</i>
  57 <dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Specifies a single message catalog file in GNU gettext (filename.po) or Apple strings (filename.strings) format to be used for localization.
  58 <dt><b>-d </b><i>output-directory</i>
  59 <dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Specifies the output directory for PPD files.

  62 <dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Specifies one or more languages to use when localizing the PPD file(s).
  63 The default language is "en" (English).
  64 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.
  65 <dt><b>-m</b>
