ppdmerge

ppdmerge(1)							    Apple Inc.							       ppdmerge(1)

NAME

       ppdmerge - merge ppd files (deprecated)

SYNOPSIS

       ppdmerge [ -o output-ppd-file ] ppd-file ppd-file [ ...	ppd-file ]

DESCRIPTION

       ppdmerge  merges  two or more PPD files into a single, multi-language PPD file.	This program is deprecated and will be removed in a future
       release of CUPS.

OPTIONS

       ppdmerge supports the following options:

       -o output-ppd-file
	      Specifies the PPD file to create.  If not specified, the merged PPD file is written to the standard  output.   If  the  output  file
	      already exists, it is silently overwritten.

NOTES

       ppdmerge  does  not  check whether the merged PPD files are for the same device.  Merging of different device PPDs will yield unpredictable
       results.
