| <b>ppdi</b> imports one or more PPD files into a PPD compiler source file. |
| Multiple languages of the same PPD file are merged into a single printer definition to facilitate accurate changes for all localizations. |
| <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>ppdi</b> supports the following options: |
| <dl class="man"> |
| <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>-o </b><i>source-file</i> |
| <dd style="margin-left: 5.0em">Specifies the PPD source file to update. |
| If the source file does not exist, a new source file is created. |
| Otherwise the existing file is merged with the new PPD file(s) on the command-line. |
| If no source file is specified, the filename <i>ppdi.drv</i> is used. |
| </dl> |
| <h2 class="title"><a name="NOTES">Notes</a></h2> |
| PPD files are deprecated and will no longer be supported in a future feature release of CUPS. |
