  16 .SH NAME
  17 ppdcfile \- cups ppd compiler source file format
  18 .SH DESCRIPTION
  19 The CUPS PPD compiler reads meta files that contain descriptions
  20 of one or more PPD files to be generated by \fIppdc\fR. This man
  21 page provides a quick reference to the supported keywords and
  22 should be used in conjunction with the online help for CUPS.
  23 .PP
  24 The source file format is plain ASCII text that can be edited
  25 using your favorite text editor. Comments are supported using
  26 the C (/* ... */) and C++ (// ...) comment mechanisms.
  27 .PP
  28 Printer driver information can be grouped and shared using
  29 curly braces ({ ... }); PPD files are written when a close
  30 brace or end-of-file is seen and a PCFileName directive has been
  31 defined.
  32 .PP
  33 Directives may be placed anywhere on a line and are followed by
  34 one or more values. The following is a list of the available
  35 directives and the values they accept:
