ppdcfile - cups ppd compiler source file format
<h2 class="title"><a name="DESCRIPTION">Description</a></h2>
The CUPS PPD compiler reads meta files that contain descriptions
of one or more PPD files to be generated by <i>ppdc</i>. This man
page provides a quick reference to the supported keywords and
should be used in conjunction with the online help for CUPS.
<p>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.
<p>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.
<p>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:
