14 ctxtools is useful for dealing with ConTeXt source and generated files
15 and for installing new versions of ConTeXt.

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.

55 tion.
