<DL COMPACT>
<DT id="1"><B>-D </B><I>name</I>[<B>=</B><I>value</I>]<DD>
Sets the named variable for use in the source file.
It is equivalent to using the <I>#define</I> directive in the source file.
<DT id="2"><B>-I </B><I>include-directory</I><DD>
Specifies an alternate include directory.
Multiple <I>-I</I> options can be supplied to add additional directories.
<DT id="3"><B>-c </B><I>message-catalog</I><DD>
Specifies a single message catalog file in GNU gettext (filename.po) or Apple strings (filename.strings) format to be used for localization.
<DT id="4"><B>-d </B><I>output-directory</I><DD>

The default output directory is &quot;ppd&quot;.
<DT id="5"><B>-l </B><I>language(s)</I><DD>

The default language is &quot;en&quot; (English).
Separate multiple languages with commas, for example &quot;de_DE,en_UK,es_ES,es_MX,es_US,fr_CA,fr_FR,it_IT&quot; will create PPD files with German, UK English, Spanish (Spain, Mexico, and US), French (France and Canada), and Italian languages in each file.

<DD>
Specifies that the output filename should be based on the ModelName value instead of FileName or PCFilenName.

<DT id="8"><B>-v</B>
<DD>
