+.PP
+.SH "NAME"
+fmtutil\&.cnf \- configuration file for fmtutil
+.PP
+.SH "DESCRIPTION"
+.PP
+The \fIfmtutil\&.cnf\fP file contains the configuration information
+for \fBfmtutil\fP(8)\&. Each line contains the name of the format
+(e\&.g\&., ``tex\'\', ``latex\'\', ``omega\'\'), the name of the engine that
+is used by that format (e\&.g\&., ``tex\'\', ``etex\'\', ``omega\'\'), the pattern
+file (e\&.g\&., \fIlanguage\&.dat\fP, \fIlanguage\&.def\fP), and any
+arguments (name of an \fI\&.ini\fP file)\&.
+.PP
+Fields are separated by whitespace\& and complete lines can be commented
+out with ``#\'\'\&. The ``pattern file\'\' field cannot be used to
+define a file that is used while building the format\&.
+It tells \fBfmtutil\fP which files (separated by commas) the
+format creation procedure reads\& and it has an effect to the options
+\fI--showhyphen\fP and \fI--byhyphen\fP\&.
+If the format has no way to
+customize hyphenation, a ``-\'\' can be used to indicate this\&.
+.PP
+.SH "NOTES"
+.PP
+The \fBtex\fP(1) and \fBamstex\fP(1) formats always load
+\fIhyphen\&.tex\fP\&. No customization by a pattern file is available
+for these formats\&. Therefore, the pattern-file field for the
+\fBtex\fP and \fBamstex\fP is usually indicated to be empty (``-\'\')\&.
+.PP
+You can, however, build customized formats on top of plain
+\fBtex\fP(1) or \fBamstex\fP(1) by using \fIbplain\&.tex\fP instead of
+\fIplain\&.tex\fP (b for the \fIBabel\fP system). See, for example,
+the \fIbplain\&.ini\fP file for the bplain format)\&.
+.PP
+\fBetex\fP(1) loads \fIlanguage\&.def\fP, not
+\fIlanguage\&.dat\fP\&.
+.PP
+Symbolic links to the correct engines (e\&.g\&., bplain -> tex)
+are generated by the \fBtexlinks\fP(8) script\&. Remember to run
+\fBtexlinks\fP(8) if you run \fBfmtutil\fP(8) yourself, rather
+than using the FORMATS option in \fBtexconfig\fP(8)\&.
