ppdpo

ppdpo(1)							    Apple Inc.								  ppdpo(1)

NAME

       ppdpo - ppd message catalog generator

SYNOPSIS

       ppdpo [ -D name[=value] ] [ -I include-directory ] [ -o output-file ] source-file

DESCRIPTION

       ppdpo  extracts	UI  strings from PPDC source files and updates either a GNU gettext or OS X strings format message catalog source file for
       translation.

       The -D option sets the named variable for use in the source file. It is equivalent to using the #define directive in the source file.

       The -I option specifies an alternate include directory; multiple -I options can be supplied to add additional directories.

       The -o option specifies the output file. The supported extensions are ".po" or  ".po.gz"  for  GNU  gettext  format  message  catalogs  and
       ".strings" for OS X strings files.
