       ppdc - cups ppd compiler (deprecated)
       ppdc [ -D name[=value] ] [ -I include-directory ] [ -c message-

       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.
       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 localization.
       -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.
