| .SH DESCRIPTION |
| \fIppdc\fR compiles PPDC source files into one or more PPD |
| files. |
| .PP |
| The \fI-D\fR option sets the named variable for use in the |
| source file. It is equivalent to using the #define directive |
| in the source file. |
| .PP |
| The \fI-I\fR option specifies an alternate include directory; |
| multiple \fI-I\fR options can be supplied to add additional |
| directories. |
| .PP |
| The \fI-c\fR option specifies a single message catalog file in GNU |
| gettext source format (filename.po) to be used for localization. |
| .PP |
| The \fI-d\fR option specifies the output directory for PPD |
| files. The default output directory is "ppd". |
| .PP |
| The \fI-l\fR option specifies one or more languages to use when |
| localizing the PPD file(s). The default language is "en" |
| (English). Separate multiple languages with commas, for example |
| "de_DE,en_UK,es_ES,es_MX,es_US,fr_CA,fr_FR,it_IT" will create PPD |
| files with German, UK English, Spanish (Spain, Mexico, and US), |
| French (France and Canada), and Italian languages in each file. |
| .PP |
| The \fI-m\fR option specifies that the output filename should be |
| based on the ModelName value instead of FileName or PCFilenName. |
| .PP |
| The \fI-t\fR option specifies that PPD files should be tested instead |
| of generated. |
| .PP |
| The \fI-v\fR option provides more verbose output, basically a |
| running status of which files are being loaded or written. |
| .PP |
| The \fI-z\fR option generates compressed PPD files (filename.ppd.gz). |
| The default is to generate uncompressed PPD files. |
| .PP |
| The \fI--cr\fR, \fI--crlf\fR, and \fI--lf\fR options specify the |
| line ending to use - carriage return, carriage return and line feed, |
| or line feed. The default is to use the line feed character alone. |
