Detailed Description

Reading the "PostScript Printer Description File Format Specification" each line in a PPD file conforms to:

 *KEYWORD[ [*]NAME[/DESCRIPTION]]:[ ]VALUE *

Due to this simplification, the lines shown above will be differently separated into the structure caps_ppd_option. Honor this when interpreting the values by yourself.

Examples:

   *SomeKeyword: "some value"

keyword = "SomeKeyword"
name = NULL
description = NULL
value = "some value"

   *SomeKeyword SomeOption/SomeDescription: "some code"

keyword = "SomeKeyword"
name = "SomeOption"
description = "SomeDescription"
value = "some code"

   *OrderDependency: 10 AnySetup *SomeKeyword

keyword = "OrderDependency"
name = NULL
description = NULL
value = "10 AnySetup *SomeKeyword"

   *OpenUI *SomeKeyword/SomeDescription: SomeAction

keyword = "OpenUI"
name = "*SomeKeyword"
description = "SomeDescription"
value = "SomeAction"

Todo:: The "const char *" is useless, due to strdup()!
