OPTIONS

19       --help Print the available options.
20
21       --purgefiles
22              Get rid of many temporary files generated by ConTeXt.   You  can
23              give  the  --all  option  to  remove  a larger fraction of those
24              files, and the --recurse option to remove these  files  also  in
25              subdirectories.
26
27       --contextversion
28              Show the date of the ConTeXt macros and the format file.  Useful
29              after upgrading ConTeXt (perhaps using --updatecontext) to check
30              whether  the  new formats and macros are visible to the TeX path
31              searches (see kpsewhich(1).
32
33       --updatecontext
34              Download the latest ConTeXt distribution and install it  in  the
35              TEXMFLOCAL  tree  (see  kpsewhich(1) for information on TeX path
36              searching).  TEXMFLOCAL usually points to  a  system-wide  loca‐
37              tion.   If  you  want  to  install  the new ConTeXt in your home
38              directory (i.e. an install for one user), then set the  TEXMFLO‐
39              CAL  environment  variable while running ctxtools.  For example,
40              using the syntax of the Bourne shell sh(1):
41              TEXMFLOCAL=$HOME/texmf ctxtools --updatecontext
42
43       --documentation
44              Generate a .ted file from the source file.  See also the  --mod‐
45              ule option to texexec(1).
46
47       --patternfiles [languagecode]
48              Generate pattern files.  You can also give the --all, --xml, and
49              --utf8 options.

ENVIRONMENT

53       TEXMFLOCAL
54              Used by --updatecontext to decide where to install the distribu‐
55              tion.
