texlinks – maintain symbolic links from format to engine

Synopsis

Description

texlinks is used to create or recreate symbolic links from formats to engines according to the information in fmtutil.cnf or a file specified with –cnffile.

DIRECTORIES is an optional list of directories in which to operate. If no directories are specified the list of directories depends on the –multiplatform option.

Options

–cnffile FILE or -f FILE: use file as configuration file (default: fmtutil.cnf)
–help or -h: show some help text
–multiplatform or -m: operate in all platform-specific directories (default: operate only in the directory for this platform)
–silent or -s: silently skip over existing scripts/binaries instead of printing a warning
–unlink or -u: Unlink previously created symlinks
–verbose or -v: +set verbose mode on (default: off)

Files

fmtutil.cnf: default configuration file
