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