+Usage: pdftex [OPTION]... [TEXNAME[.tex]] [COMMANDS]
+ or: pdftex [OPTION]... \FIRST-LINE
+ or: pdftex [OPTION]... &FMT ARGS
+ Run pdfTeX on TEXNAME, usually creating TEXNAME.pdf.
+ Any remaining COMMANDS are processed as pdfTeX input, after TEXNAME is read.
+ If the first line of TEXNAME is %&FMT, and FMT is an existing .fmt file,
+ use it. Else use `NAME.fmt', where NAME is the program invocation name,
+ most commonly `pdftex'.
+
+ Alternatively, if the first non-option argument begins with a backslash,
+ interpret all non-option arguments as a line of pdfTeX input.
+
+ Alternatively, if the first non-option argument begins with a &, the
+ next word is taken as the FMT to read, overriding all else. Any
+ remaining arguments are processed as above.
+
+ If no arguments or options are specified, prompt for input.
