  25 .SH NAME
  26 cupstestppd \- test conformance of ppd files
  27 .SH SYNOPSIS
  28 .B cupstestppd
  29 [ -q ] [-r] [ -v[v] ] filename.ppd[.gz] [ ... filenameN.ppd[.gz] ]
  30 .br

  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 .LP
  44 The \fI-q\fR option specifies that no information should be displayed.
  45 .LP
  46 The \fI-r\fR option relaxes the PPD conformance requirements so
  47 that common whitespace, control character, and formatting
  48 problems are not treated as hard errors.
  49 .LP
  50 The \fI-v\fR option specifies that detailed conformance testing
  51 results should be displayed rather than the concise PASS/FAIL/ERROR
  52 status.
  53 .LP
  54 The \fI-vv\fR option specifies that all information in the PPD
  55 file should be displayed in addition to the detailed conformance
  56 testing results.
  57 .LP
  58 The \fI-q\fR, \fI-v\fR, and \fI-vv\fR options are mutually exclusive.
  59 .SH EXIT STATUS
  60 \fIcupstestppd\fR returns zero on success and non-zero on error. The
  61 error codes are as follows:
  62 .TP 5
  63 1
  64 .br
  65 Bad command-line arguments or missing PPD filename.
  66 .TP 5
  67 2
  68 .br
  69 Unable to open or read PPD file.
  70 .TP 5
  71 3
  72 .br
  73 The PPD file contains format errors that cannot be skipped.
  74 .TP 5
  75 4
  76 .br
  77 The PPD file does not conform to the Adobe PPD specification.
  78 .SH EXAMPLES
  79 The following command will test all PPD files under the current
  80 directory and print the names of each file that does not
  81 conform:
  82 .nf
  83
  84     find . -name \\*.ppd \\! -exec cupstestppd -q '{}' \\; -print
  85
  86 .fi
  87 The next command tests all PPD files under the current directory
  88 and print detailed conformance testing results for the files
  89 that do not conform:
  90 .nf
  91
  92     find . -name \\*.ppd \\! -exec cupstestppd -q '{}' \\; \\
  93         -exec cupstestppd -v '{}' \\;
