.SH SYNOPSIS
.B foomatic-ppd-options [-d=debuglevel] [ ppdfiles ]

.SH DESCRIPTION

The
.B 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.

.PP
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:
.RS
.nf

makemodel = Tektronix Phaser 350 Foomatic/Postscript (recommended)
name=PageSize; default=Letter; options=Letter (US Letter), \e
    A4 (A4), 11x17 (11x17), A3 (A3), A5 (A5), B5 (B5 \e(JIS\e)),...
name=PageRegion; default=Letter; options=Letter (US Letter), A4 (A4), ...
.fi
.RE

Each option starts with the
