  11 ppdcfile - cups ppd compiler source file format
  12 <h2 class="title"><a name="DESCRIPTION">Description</a></h2>
  13 The CUPS PPD compiler reads meta files that contain descriptions
  14 of one or more PPD files to be generated by <i>ppdc</i>. This man
  15 page provides a quick reference to the supported keywords and
  16 should be used in conjunction with the online help for CUPS.
  17 <p>The source file format is plain ASCII text that can be edited
  18 using your favorite text editor. Comments are supported using
  19 the C (/* ... */) and C++ (// ...) comment mechanisms.
  20 <p>Printer driver information can be grouped and shared using
  21 curly braces ({ ... }); PPD files are written when a close
  22 brace or end-of-file is seen and a PCFileName directive has been
  23 defined.
  24 <p>Directives may be placed anywhere on a line and are followed by
  25 one or more values. The following is a list of the available
  26 directives and the values they accept:
