+B<WARNING> Using these option will overwrite any user changes done in
+the respective files. Please think twice before using it.
+
+These function regenerate the three config files language.dat, fmtutil.cnf,
+and updmap.cfg from the information present in the local TLPDB. If files
+language-local.dat, fmtutil-local.cnf, or updmap-local.cfg are present
+under TEMXFLOCAL in the respective directories stuff there will be
+simply merged into the final files. So be careful what to put there.
+
+Especially with updmap.cfg this function is dangerous because it will
+remove all maps which have been manually enabled (via updmap-sys --enable),
+so be careful.
