Foomatic Project                                   2001-05-07                                FOOMATIC-KITLOAD(8)

foomatic-kitload installs a foomatic data kit into the local data library.  It takes a -kdirname 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-kdirname
                 dirname is the toplevel directory of a foomatic driver "kit".

       -ddestdir
                 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.

foomatic-kitload returns 0 on success, 255 or something else when an error occurs.
