10 makeglossaries [-o file] [-q] [-Q] [-k] [-n] [-s file] [-t file] [-L
11 language] [-c] [-g] [-l] [-p num] [-r] [-d aux dir] [-m file] [-x file]
12 [--version] [--help] basename
13
15 makeglossaries is designed for use with LaTeX documents that use the
16 glossaries package. The mandatory argument basename should be the name
17 of the LaTeX document without the .tex extension. makeglossaries will
18 read the auxiliary file to determine whether makeindex or xindy should
19 be called. All the information required to be passed to the relevant
20 indexing application should also be contained in the auxiliary file,
21 but may be overridden by the option arguments to makeglossaries.
22
24 -q Quiet mode. Reduces chatter to standard output.
25
26 -Q Silences warning about being unable to fork.
27
28 -k Don't try forking with piped redirection. (Lessens the effect of
29 -q)

32 them.

36 containing a single glossary, otherwise each glossary will be
37 overridden.)

39 -s file
40 Use file as the style file. Note that if you use this option, you
41 need to know whether makeindex or xindy will be called, as they
42 have different style files.
43
44 -t file
45 Use file as the transcript file.
46
47 -l Letter ordering.
48
49 -L language
