NAME
       ppdcfile - cups ppd compiler source file format

DESCRIPTION
       The CUPS PPD compiler reads meta files that contain descriptions of one
       or more PPD files to be generated by ppdc. This	man  page  provides  a
       quick reference to the supported keywords and should be used in conjuc‐
       tion with the Common UNIX Printing System Developers Manual.

       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	curley
       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
