NAME

   kpsewhich - standalone path lookup and and expansion for kpathsea

SYNOPSIS

   kpsewhich [options] [filenames]

DESCRIPTION

   This  manual  page  is  not  meant  to  be  exhaustive.   The  complete
   documentation for this version of TeX can be found in the info file  or
   manual Kpathsea: A library for path searching.

   kpsewhich  is  used  as  a standalone front-end of the kpathsea library
   that can be used to examine variables and find files.  When the -format
   option  is  not  given, the search path used when looking for a file is
   inferred from the name given, by looking for a known extension.  If  no
   known extension is found, the search path for TeX source files is used.
