foomatic-ppd-options - show the PPD options
SYNOPSIS
foomatic-ppd-options [-d=debuglevel] [ ppdfiles ]
DESCRIPTION
The foomatic-ppd-options program reads the specified PPD files or stdin and decodes the PPD file to produce a list of options. This is
really just a text based version of other print configuration tools.
The output format consists of a set of lines, each starting with a keyword, followed by a set of options and the default value. For exam-
ple:
makemodel = Tektronix Phaser 350 Foomatic/Postscript (recommended)
name=PageSize; default=Letter; options=Letter (US Letter),
A4 (A4), 11x17 (11x17), A3 (A3), A5 (A5), B5 (B5 (JIS)),...
name=PageRegion; default=Letter; options=Letter (US Letter), A4 (A4), ...
Each option starts with the name tag, followed by a default value (if any), followed by the set of options and a comment describing them.
Punctuation in the comment is escaped.

The list of PPD files to read for options. A '-' causes STDIN to be read.
