NAME
foomatic-ppd-options - show the PPD options
SYNOPSIS
foomatic-ppd-options [-d=debuglevel] [ ppdfiles ]
DESCRIPTION
The
foomatic-ppd-options
program reads the specified PPD files or stdin and decodes the PPD file
to produce a list of options.
This is really just a text based version of other print configuration
tools.
The output format consists of a set of lines,
each starting with a keyword, followed by a set of options and the default value.
For example:
makemodel = Tektronix Phaser 350 Foomatic/Postscript (recommended)
name=PageSize; default=Letter; options=Letter (US Letter), A4 (A4), 11x17 (11x17), A3 (A3), A5 (A5), B5 (B5 \(JIS\)),...
name=PageRegion; default=Letter; options=Letter (US Letter), A4 (A4), ...
Each option starts with the
name
tag,
followed by a default value (if any),
followed by the set of options and a comment describing them.
Punctuation in the comment is escaped.
Options
I -d debuglevel
Set the debug level. 0 disables debug messages.
I [ files ]
The list of PPD files to read for options.
A '-' causes STDIN to be read.
EXIT STATUS
foomatic-ppd-options
exits with a 0 status if successful, and nonzero if an error.
An error message is also printed on standard error (STDERR).
