  33 .SH DESCRIPTION
  34 \fIcupstestppd\fR tests the conformance of PPD files to the
  35 Adobe PostScript Printer Description file format specification
  36 version 4.3. It can also be used to list the supported options
  37 and available fonts in a PPD file. The results of testing and
  38 any other output are sent to the standard output.
  39 .LP
  40 The first form of \fIcupstestppd\fR tests one or more PPD files
  41 on the command-line. The second form tests the PPD file provided
  42 on the standard input.
  43 .SH OPTIONS
  44 \fIcupstestppd\fR supports the following options:
  45 .TP 5
  46 -q
  47 .br
  48 Specifies that no information should be displayed.
  49 .TP 5
  50 -r
  51 .br
  52 Relaxes the PPD conformance requirements so that common
  53 whitespace, control character, and formatting problems are not
  54 treated as hard errors.
  55 .TP 5
  56 -v
  57 .br
  58 Specifies that detailed conformance testing results should be
  59 displayed rather than the concise PASS/FAIL/ERROR status.
  60 .TP 5
  61 -vv
  62 .br
  63 Specifies that all information in the PPD file should be
  64 displayed in addition to the detailed conformance testing
  65 results.
  66 .LP
  67 The \fI-q\fR, \fI-v\fR, and \fI-vv\fR options are mutually exclusive.
  68 .SH EXIT STATUS
  69 \fIcupstestppd\fR returns zero on success and non-zero on error. The
  70 error codes are as follows:
  71 .TP 5
  72 1
  73 .br
  74 Bad command-line arguments or missing PPD filename.
  75 .TP 5
  76 2
  77 .br
  78 Unable to open or read PPD file.

  82 The PPD file contains format errors that cannot be skipped.
  83 .TP 5
  84 4
  85 .br
  86 The PPD file does not conform to the Adobe PPD specification.
  87 .SH EXAMPLES
  88 The following command will test all PPD files under the current
  89 directory and print the names of each file that does not
  90 conform:
  91 .nf
  92
  93     find . -name \\*.ppd \\! -exec cupstestppd -q '{}' \\; -print
  94
  95 .fi
  96 The next command tests all PPD files under the current directory
  97 and print detailed conformance testing results for the files
  98 that do not conform:
  99 .nf
 100
 101     find . -name \\*.ppd \\! -exec cupstestppd -q '{}' \\; \\
 102         -exec cupstestppd -v '{}' \\;
