| 51 | \fB\-D \fIname\fR[\fB=\fIvalue\fR] |
| 52 | Sets the named variable for use in the source file. |

| 54 | .TP 5 |
| 55 | \fB\-I \fIinclude-directory\fR |
| 56 | Specifies an alternate include directory. |
| 57 | Multiple \fI-I\fR options can be supplied to add additional directories. |
| 58 | .TP 5 |
| 59 | \fB\-c \fImessage-catalog\fR |
| 60 | Specifies a single message catalog file in GNU gettext (filename.po) or Apple strings (filename.strings) format to be used for localization. |
| 61 | .TP 5 |
| 62 | \fB\-d \fIoutput-directory\fR |

| 65 | .TP 5 |
| 66 | \fB\-l \fIlanguage(s)\fR |
| 67 | Specifies one or more languages to use when localizing the PPD file(s). |

| 69 | 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. |
| 70 | .TP 5 |
| 71 | .B \-m |
| 72 | Specifies that the output filename should be based on the ModelName value instead of FileName or PCFilenName. |
| 73 | .TP 5 |
| 74 | .B \-t |
| 75 | Specifies that PPD files should be tested instead of generated. |
| 76 | .TP 5 |
| 77 | .B \-v |
| 78 | Specifies verbose output, basically a running status of which files are being loaded or written. |
| 79 | .B \-z |
