.SH NAME
foomatic-compiledb \- Compile the Foomatic printer/driver database
.SH SYNOPSIS
.BI foomatic-compiledb \ \fB[ \ \-t \ \fItype\fB \ \fB] \ \fB[ \ \fB\-f \ \fB]\ \fB[ \ \fB\-j \ \fIn\fB \ \fB] \ \fB[\ \ \fIdriver\fB \ \fB...\ \ \fB]\fR
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B foomatic-compiledb
generates all PPD files or Foomatic combo XML files for all possible
printer/driver combos, or only for a selected range of drivers. It
generally should not be necessary except for people who want to
generate a set of Foomatic data files for distribution. For
configuring single printers \fBfoomatic-ppdfile(1)\fR and especially
\fBfoomatic-configure(1)\fR will automagically compute just what they
need.
.SS Options
.TP 10
.BI \-t \ type
Output file type, either ppd or xml.
.TP 10
.BI \-f
Force: Write into the destination directory even if it already exists.
.TP 10
.BI \-j \ n
n = number of work processes to run
.TP 10
.I driver ...
only generate data files for these driver(s)
.SH SEE ALSO
.IR foomatic-ppdfile (1), foomatic-configure (1)
.SH EXIT STATUS
.B foomatic-compiledb
returns 0 unless something unexpected happens.
.SH AUTHORS
Manfred Wassmann <\fImanolo@NCC-1701.B.Shuttle.de\fR> and Till Kamppeter
<\fItill.kamppeter@gmail.com\fR> for the foomatic
project using output from the associated binary.
.SH BUGS
Existing files are always conserved instead of older files being
overwritten. So deleting the destination directory (rm \-rf dir) and
calling foomatic-compiledb without the \-f option is recommended.
