  32 .SH DESCRIPTION
  33 \fIppdc\fR compiles PPDC source files into one or more PPD
  34 files.
  35 .PP
  36 The \fI-D\fR option sets the named variable for use in the
  37 source file. It is equivalent to using the #define directive
  38 in the source file.
  39 .PP
  40 The \fI-I\fR option specifies an alternate include directory;
  41 multiple \fI-I\fR options can be supplied to add additional
  42 directories.
  43 .PP
  44 The \fI-c\fR option specifies a single message catalog file in GNU
  45 gettext source format (filename.po) to be used for localization.
  46 .PP
  47 The \fI-d\fR option specifies the output directory for PPD
  48 files. The default output directory is "ppd".
  49 .PP
  50 The \fI-l\fR option specifies one or more languages to use when
  51 localizing the PPD file(s). The default language is "en"
  52 (English). Separate multiple languages with commas, for example
  53 "de_DE,en_UK,es_ES,es_MX,es_US,fr_CA,fr_FR,it_IT" will create PPD
  54 files with German, UK English, Spanish (Spain, Mexico, and US),
  55 French (France and Canada), and Italian languages in each file.
  56 .PP
  57 The \fI-v\fR option provides more verbose output, basically a
  58 running status of which files are being loaded or written.
  59 .PP
  60 The \fI-z\fR option generates compressed PPD files (filename.ppd.gz).
  61 The default is to generate uncompressed PPD files.
  62 .PP
  63 The \fI--cr\fR, \fI--crlf\fR, and \fI--lf\fR options specify the
  64 line ending to use - carriage return, carriage return and line feed,
  65 or line feed. The default is to use the line feed character alone.
