NAME
rubber-info – extract information from LaTeX documents
SYNOPSIS
rubber-info [options] [action] source
DESCRIPTION
Rubber-info is a utility for extracting various kinds of information from a LaTeX document. Information can be extracted from the source (for instance when calculating dependencies) or from the compilation log files (to extract errors and warnings). This program is a complement for the compilation system rubber(1).
The command-line options are those used by rubber(1) plus one of the actions described below.
ACTIONS
One of the following command-line options must be specified, to decide which information to extract. Of course, for actions that read a log file, a compilation must have been done before. If none of these actions is specified, –check is assumed.
–boxes- Extracts from the log file the places in the source where bad boxes appeared (these are the famous overfull and underfull \hbox and box)
–check- Report errors if there are any, otherwise report undefined references if there are any, otherwise list warnings and bad boxes. This is the default action.
–deps- Analyse the source files and produce a space-separated list of all the files that the document depends on and that Rubber cannot rebuild.
–errors- Extract from the log file the list of errors that occured during the last compilation.
-h, –help- Display the list of all available options and exit nicely.
–refs- Report the list of undefined or multiply defined references (i.e. the
ef’s that are not defined by one \label). –rules- Analyse the source files and produce a list of dependency rules. One rule is produced for each intermediate target that would be made when running
rubber. Rules are formatted in the style of Makefiles. –version- Print the version number and exit nicely.
–warnings- Stupidly enumerate all LaTeX warnings, i.e. all the lines in the log file that contain the string "Warning".
