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.
