  41 .SH DESCRIPTION
  42 \fIcupstestppd\fR tests the conformance of PPD files to the
  43 Adobe PostScript Printer Description file format specification
  44 version 4.3. It can also be used to list the supported options
  45 and available fonts in a PPD file. The results of testing and
  46 any other output are sent to the standard output.
  47 .LP
  48 The first form of \fIcupstestppd\fR tests one or more PPD files
  49 on the command-line. The second form tests the PPD file provided
  50 on the standard input.

  57 and other support file checks.

  86 .TP 5
  87 -r
  88 .br

  91 treated as hard errors.
  92 .TP 5
  93 -v
  94 .br
  95 Specifies that detailed conformance testing results should be
  96 displayed rather than the concise PASS/FAIL/ERROR status.
  97 .TP 5
  98 -vv
  99 .br
 100 Specifies that all information in the PPD file should be
 101 displayed in addition to the detailed conformance testing
 102 results.
 103 .LP
 104 The \fI-q\fR, \fI-v\fR, and \fI-vv\fR options are mutually exclusive.
 105 .SH EXIT STATUS

 124 .SH EXAMPLES
 125 The following command will test all PPD files under the current
 126 directory and print the names of each file that does not
 127 conform:
 128 .nf
 129
 130     find . -name \\*.ppd \\! -exec cupstestppd -q '{}' \\; -print
 131

 133 The next command tests all PPD files under the current directory
 134 and print detailed conformance testing results for the files
 135 that do not conform:
