NAME¶

ppd_emit_to_file, ppd_emit_to_fd - Output device specific code.

SYNOPSIS¶

#include <ppd/ppd.h>

gboolean ppd_emit( PpdFile * ppd,FILE *fp,PpdSectionOrder section );
gboolean ppd_emitfd( PpdFile * ppd, int fd,PpdSectionOrder section );

DESCRIPTION¶

The ppd_emit_* functions output the device specific code appropriate to the specified section that has not already been emitted.. The PpdFile pointer is obtained from opening a PPD file via the ppd_load(3) family of functions. The section can be any one of the following:

PPD_ORDER_ANY

Option code can be anywhere in the file

PPD_ORDER_DOCUMENT

Option code must be in the DocumentSetup section

PPD_ORDER_EXIT

Option code must be sent prior to the document

PPD_ORDER_JCL

Option code must be sent as a JCL command

PPD_ORDER_PAGE

Option code must be in the PageSetup section

PPD_ORDER_PROLOG

Option code must be in the Prolog section

The sections PPD_ORDER_DOCUMENT and PPD_ORDER_PAGE will also output code from the PPD_ORDER_ANY section.

Once a code section has been emitted it is marked as such and will not be emitted unless it is re-marked.

EXAMPLE¶

	/* Setup code to emitted */


        ppd_mark_defaults(ppd);


        ppd_mark_option(ppd,"Duplex","DuplexNoTumble");


        ppd_mark_option(ppd,"PageSize","A4");
	/* Emit initial code (including any reset and JCL code) */


        ppd_emit_to_file(ppd,stdout,PPD_ORDER_EXIT);


        fputs(ppd->jcl_begin->str,stdout);


        ppd_emit_to_file(ppd, stdout, PPD_ORDER_JCL);


        fputs(ppd->jcl_ps->str, stdout);
	/* Any header comments go here */
	...
	/* Prolog section */


        printf("%%%%BeginProlog0);


        ppd_emit_to_file(ppd, stdout, PPD_ORDER_PROLOG);


        printf("%%%%EndProlog0);
	/* Setup section */


        printf("%%%%BeginSetup0);


        ppd_emit_to_file(ppd, stdout, PPD_ORDER_DOCUMENT);


        printf("%%%%EndSetup0);
	/* Main document begins */
	for (...) {
		printf("%%%%Page: 1 10);
	
		/* Re-mark so that this is emitted on each page */


        	ppd_mark_option(ppd,"PageSize","A4");


        	printf("%%%%PageSetup0);


        	ppd_emit_to_file(ppd, stdout, PPD_ORDER_PAGE);


        	printf("%%%%EndPageSetup0);
		/* Page info goes here */
		...
	}
	/* Send ending JCL code */


        fputs(ppd->jcl_end->str,stdout);
