7       available

SYNOPSIS

10       kpsetool  [ OPTIONS... ] COMMAND
11
12       kpsexpand [ OPTIONS... ] STRING
13
14       kpsepath  [ OPTIONS... ] PATHTYPE
15

DESCRIPTION

17       kpsetool is a Bourne shell script that makes  a  teTeX-style  kpsetool,
18       kpsexpand,  and kpsepath available.  kpsetool uses web2c´s (new) kpsex‐
19       pand binary, so the syntax for kpsexpand is incompatible  with  teTeX´s
20       as of version 0.4.
