  26 .SH DESCRIPTION
  27 \fBppdi\fR imports one or more PPD files into a PPD compiler source file.
  28 Multiple languages of the same PPD file are merged into a single printer definition to facilitate accurate changes for all localizations.

  31 \fBppdi\fR supports the following options:
  32 .TP 5
  33 \fB\-I \fIinclude-directory\fR

  35 Multiple \fI-I\fR options can be supplied to add additional directories.
  36 .TP 5
  37 \fB\-o \fIsource-file\fR
  38 Specifies the PPD source file to update.
  39 If the source file does not exist, a new source file is created.
  40 Otherwise the existing file is merged with the new PPD file(s) on the command-line.
  41 If no source file is specified, the filename \fIppdi.drv\fR is used.
  42 .SH NOTES
  43 PPD files are deprecated and will no longer be supported in a future feature release of CUPS.
