DESCRIPTION
       ppdc compiles PPDC source files into one or more PPD files.  This program is deprecated and will be removed in a future release of CUPS.

OPTIONS
       ppdc supports the following options:

       -D name[=value]
	    Sets the named variable for use in the source file.  It is equivalent to using the #define directive in the source file.

       -I include-directory
	    Specifies an alternate include directory.  Multiple -I options can be supplied to add additional directories.

       -c message-catalog
	    Specifies a single message catalog file in GNU gettext (filename.po) or Apple strings (filename.strings) format to be used for  local-
	    ization.

       -d output-directory
	    Specifies the output directory for PPD files.  The default output directory is "ppd".

       -l language(s)
	    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.

       -m   Specifies that the output filename should be based on the ModelName value instead of FileName or PCFilenName.

       -t   Specifies that PPD files should be tested instead of generated.

       -v   Specifies  verbose	output,  basically a running status of which files are being loaded or written.  -z Generates compressed PPD files
	    (filename.ppd.gz).	The default is to generate uncompressed PPD files.

       --cr

       --crlf

       --lf Specifies the line ending to use - carriage return, carriage return and line feed, or line feed alone.  The default is to use the line
	    feed character alone.
