cupstestppd [ -R rootdir ] [ -W category ] [ -q ] [-r] [ -v[v] ] -DESCRIPTION ]DESCRIPTION
DESCRIPTION
cupstestppd tests the conformance of PPD files to the Adobe PostScript Printer Description file for-mat format
mat specification version 4.3. It can also be used to list the supported options and available fonts
in a PPD file. The results of testing and any other output are sent to the standard output.
The first form of cupstestppd tests one or more PPD files on the command-line. The second form tests
the PPD file provided on the standard input.
OPTIONS
cupstestppd supports the following options:
-R rootdir
Specifies an alternate root directory for the filter, pre-filter, and other support file checks.
-W constraints
Report all UIConstraint errors as warnings.
-W defaults
Except for size-related options, report all default option errors as warnings.
-W filters
Report all filter errors as warnings.
-W translations
Report all translation errors as warnings.
-W all
Report all of the previous errors as warnings.
-W none
Report all of the previous errors as errors.
-q
Specifies that no information should be displayed.
-r
Relaxes the PPD conformance requirements so that common whitespace, control character, and for-matting formatting
matting problems are not treated as hard errors.
-v
Specifies that detailed conformance testing results should be displayed rather than the concise
PASS/FAIL/ERROR status.
-vv
Specifies that all information in the PPD file should be displayed in addition to the detailed
conformance testing results.
The -q, -v, and -vv options are mutually exclusive.
EXIT STATUS
cupstestppd returns zero on success and non-zero on error. The error codes are as follows:
1
Bad command-line arguments or missing PPD filename.
2
Unable to open or read PPD file.
3
The PPD file contains format errors that cannot be skipped.
4
The PPD file does not conform to the Adobe PPD specification.
EXAMPLES
The following command will test all PPD files under the current directory and print the names of each
file that does not conform:
find . -name \*.ppd \! -exec cupstestppd -q '{}' \; -print
The next command tests all PPD files under the current directory and print detailed conformance test-ing testing
ing results for the files that do not conform:
find . -name \*.ppd \! -exec cupstestppd -q '{}' \; \
-exec cupstestppd -v '{}' \;
