NAME
       ppdcfile	- cups ppd compiler source file	format (deprecated)

DESCRIPTION
       The CUPS	PPD compiler reads meta	files that contain descriptions	of one
       or more PPD files to be generated by ppdc(1).  This man page provides a
       quick  reference	 to  the supported keywords and	should be used in con-
       junction	with the online	help for CUPS.

       The source file format is plain ASCII text that	can  be	 edited	 using
       your  favorite  text editor. Comments are supported using the C (/* ...
       */) and C++ (// ...) comment mechanisms.

       Printer driver information can be grouped and shared using curly	braces
       ({ ... }); PPD files are	written	when a close brace or  end-of-file  is
       seen and	a PCFileName directive has been	defined.

       Directives  may be placed anywhere on a line and	are followed by	one or
       more values. The	following is a list of the  available  directives  and
       the values they accept:

       #define name value

       #elif {name | value}

       #else

       #endif

NOTES
       PPD  files  are	deprecated and will no longer be supported in a	future
       feature release of CUPS.	 Printers that do not support IPP can be  sup-
       ported using applications such as ippeveprinter(1).
