FOOMATIC-PPD-OPTIONS(1)				       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 key-
       word, 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).
