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 keyword, 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).
