<b>ppdc</b> compiles PPDC source files into one or more PPD files.
<b>This program is deprecated and will be removed in a future release of CUPS.</b>
<h2 class="title"><a name="OPTIONS">Options</a></h2>
<b>ppdc</b> supports the following options:
<dl class="man">
<dt><b>-D </b><i>name</i>[<b>=</b><i>value</i>]
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Sets the named variable for use in the source file.
It is equivalent to using the <i>#define</i> directive in the source file.
<dt><b>-I </b><i>include-directory</i>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Specifies an alternate include directory.
Multiple <i>-I</i> options can be supplied to add additional directories.
<dt><b>-c </b><i>message-catalog</i>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Specifies a single message catalog file in GNU gettext (filename.po) or Apple strings (filename.strings) format to be used for localization.
<dt><b>-d </b><i>output-directory</i>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Specifies the output directory for PPD files.
The default output directory is "ppd".
<dt><b>-l </b><i>language(s)</i>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">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.

<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Specifies that PPD files should be tested instead of generated.
<dt><b>-v</b>
<dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Specifies verbose output, basically a running status of which files are being loaded or written.
