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 li-
       brary.  It takes	a -k dirname option, where dirname is the toplevel di-
       rectory 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/driver/printer/ subdirs).

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

       Foomatic-kitload	is moderately paranoid about kits: the kit  must  con-
       tain  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  temporary  `staging area' prior to installing	in the
		 final destination.

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

AUTHOR
       Manfred	 Wassmann   <manolo@NCC-1701.B.Shuttle.de>  for	 the  foomatic
       project using output from the associated	binary.
