FOOMATIC-PPD-OPTIONS(1)      General Commands Manual	 FOOMATIC-PPD-OPTIONS(1)

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
     -ddebuglevel
	  Set the debug level. 0 disables debug messages.

     [ 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).
