FOOMATIC-KITLOAD(8)	     System Manager's Manual	     FOOMATIC-KITLOAD(8)

NAME
     foomatic-kitload - installs a data kit into the foomatic database.

SYNOPSIS
     foomatic-kitload [ -k kit-dir] [ -d dest-dir]...

DESCRIPTION
     foomatic-kitload  installs a foomatic data kit into the local data library.
     It takes a -k dirname option, where dirname is the toplevel directory of  a
     foomatic driver "kit".  A "kit" is a selection of XML source files arranged
     exactly  as  in  the  source/section  of  the master database (ie, opt/dri-
     ver/printer/ subdirs).

     Gimp-Print's foomatic-generator produces exactly such a kit.

     Foomatic-kitload is moderately paranoid about kits: the kit must contain at
     least one of printer, driver or opt; the kit must contain only files ending
     in .xml, the kit cannot be the local library itself, etc.	But it does  not
     inspect the contents of the kit files in any way.

   Options
     -k dirname
	       dirname is the toplevel directory of a foomatic driver "kit".

     -d destdir
	       destdir	is  a  prefix to prepend to the install path.  This will
	       not normally be required, but is useful if installing into a tem-
	       porary `staging area' prior to installing in the  final	destina-
	       tion.

EXIT STATUS
     foomatic-kitload  returns 0 on success, 255 or something else when an error
     occurs.

AUTHOR

     using output from the associated binary.
