HP 9000 User Manual page 73

Both of the previous examples referenced the following sample attributes
file:
# Physical Printer Attributes File
# AttrFilePP1
document-formats-supported =ascii pcl
maximum-copies-supported
document-types-supported
printer-memory
This attributes file is equivalent to the following command:
pdset -c printer -x "document-formats-supported=ascii pcl \
maximum-copies-supported=3 document-types-supported=printable \
printer-memory=32" PhysPrt2
• Command-attributes, and any settable or specifiable object-
attributes, including the command-attribute attributes can be
listed in an attributes file. Thus, an attributes file can invoke other
attributes files.
If an attributes file calls itself, an error is reported.
• You can only use a file that contains both specifiable and settable
attributes with the pdcreate or pdpr commands.
If a specifiable attribute is listed in an attributes file and the file is
used with the pdset or pdmod commands, the attribute is rejected
and an error message is issued.
See "Setting Object-Attributes" earlier for more information on
specifiable and settable attributes.
• Comment lines can exist in attribute files. The comment starts with a
# and ends at the end of the line. This was illustrated in the above
sample attribute file.
