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 library.  It takes a -k dirname option,
       where dirname is the toplevel directory 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 contain 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.
