\maketitle
\begin{abstract}\noindent
'inputtrc.sty' produces screen/log messages 
\qtd{\texttt{<current>~INPUTTING~<next>}}
on \LaTeX\ input commands, 
<current> and <next> being file names. 
The message indents reflect the input nesting level. 
This can be turned on and off, and the ``indent unit" 
can be chosen. 
\qtd{\texttt{RETURNING~TO <current>}} may be 
added.---The implementation somewhat resembles packages 
\ctanpkgref{fink} and \ctanpkgref{inputfile}.

\section{Features and Usage}

\subsection{Installing and Calling}
The file 'inputtrc.sty' is provided ready, installation only requires 
putting it somewhere where \TeX\ finds it 
(which may need updating the filename data 
 base).\footnote{\url{http://www.tex.ac.uk/cgi-bin/texfaq2html?label=inst-wlcf}}

\emph{After} `\documentclass', you load 'inputtrc' (as usually) by
\begin{verbatim}
  \usepackage{inputtrc}
\end{verbatim}
However, you may want to see what `\documentclass' loads; 
then precede `\documentclass' with 
\begin{verbatim}
  \RequirePackage{inputtrc}\dotracinginputs
\end{verbatim}

\subsection{Input}
Indeed, the `INPUTTING' messages appear after command 
|\dotracinginputs| only. The command |\notracinginputs|
turns the feature off again. 

|\setinputindentunit{<cmds>}| globally sets the ``indent unit,"
whose default is set by
\begin{verbatim}
  \setinputindentunit{\space\space}
\end{verbatim}
in 'inputtrc.sty'. By default, the indent for what the main file 
(to whose name `\jobname' expands---TODO: extension is not 
 yet dealt with) loads is two spaces; each nesting level increases 
the indent by two more spaces, and the indent is reduced again when a 
loaded file is left. 
(TODO: not dealt with `\dotracinginputs' in other files yet, 
 may need 'fink'.)
The first indent and the indent difference will be, e.g., \emph{three} 
spaces if you insert
\begin{verbatim}
  \setinputindentunit{\space\space\space}
\end{verbatim}

\textbf{Note} that only \emph{\LaTeX} input commands are recognized by 
'inputtrc.sty' (at present, TODO). This means that `\input' 
\emph{without braces} is not recognized: it neither produces a message 
nor changes the indent, and with 
\begin{quote}
  \hspace*{-1.2pc}\texttt{\string\input\ <file>}
\end{quote}
where <file> loads other files, files that <file> loads directly 
produce \emph{wrong} messages. 

\subsection{After Input}
|\dotracingreturns| adds a message 
\qtd{\texttt{RETURNING TO <current>}} after 
\qtd{\texttt{<current> INPUTTING <next>}}
meaning that processing file <next> has been finished. 
Use |\notracingreturns| to turn this additional 
feature off again. 

|\dotracinginputsreturns| calls both 
both `\dotracinginputs' and\\ `\dotracingreturns' 
at the same time.


\section{What it is Good for}

\TeX's primitive `\input' (that \LaTeX\ represents as \cs{@@input})
sends a left round bracket to screen, followed by the path of the 
loaded file. When \TeX\ stops reading the file, a right round bracket 
is sent to screen. This screen log suffices to trace which files load 
which other files (directly). However, this has a quite little visual 
effect and hardly reflects input nesting in an intuitive way. 
And when an inputted file produces many messages, it becomes quite 
impossible to trace input nesting by eyes and mind only. 

This may be very painful in debugging. Sometimes you get a warning or 
error message and you are unable to tell which file produced the 
message (if the file is not a \LaTeX\ package issuing the proper 
\emph{package} warnings and errors)\footnote{\cs{PackageWarning} 
etc.}---typically the \emph{number of the line} that caused the 
warning is shown, but not the \emph{file name}.

%   \pagebreak    %% 2010/10/08b
Indeed on the 'texhax' mailing list, \emph{Karl Berry} posted the 
following:\footnote{\url{http://tug.org/mailman/htdig/texhax/2010-February/014305.html}}
\begin{quote}\itshape\small
  Sometimes it would be helpful for tex debugging to get a 
  \dqtd{backtrace} of the files that tex is executing. 
  It could be something static, that
  reads a .log file (or maybe .fls file from -recorder) and reports on
  which files were opened and closed in some way that is readable for deep
  nesting.
  
  I seem to recall that auctex and presumably front ends have dealt with
  extracting the filenames, at least, out of the mess of garbage printed
  to the terminal on a typical run, parsing all the open/close parens, but
  I've been unable to find anything that works as a separate utility.
  
  Does anyone know of something to do this?
  
  Failing anything else, I wonder about adding a new primitive to pdftex
  to dump the input stack at any point.  Then we could get line numbers
  too, I expect.
\end{quote}
The subject line was \textit{\dqtd{tex filename backtrace 
utility}}.---\emph{Ronald Fehd} 
joined:\footnote{\url{http://tug.org/mailman/htdig/texhax/2010-February/014311.html}} 
\begin{quote}\itshape\small
  I am glad to see this suggestion as I have occasional problems
  identifying from which of my included files the error message is coming
  from.
\end{quote}
and suggested using the programming language SAS.

Karl's suggestion to filter the .log file would have the advantage 
over the present approach that information not relevant for input 
tracing would be stripped off. However, more in the direction 
addressed by Ronald Fehd, any message from a file may be wanted to be 
attributed to that file. The present approach should be helpful then, 
you just must read the log back to the last line containing 
`INPUTTING'---or to \texttt{RETURNING TO} (v0.2). 

The present approach was inspired by Karl's idea to provide a new 
\TeX\ primitive. This first triggered my 
reply\footnote{\url{http://tug.org/mailman/htdig/texhax/2010-February/014309.html}} 
claiming one could just redefine the primitive `\input' as a macro---a 
%% <- typo and wording 2010/10/08b ->
little too optimistic. In the documentation for his 'FiNK'
package,\footnote{\url{http://ctan.org/pkg/fink}} Didier Verna remarks 
that this primitive parses the file name in a way that is somewhat 
difficult to imitate 
by %%% with %% 2010/10/08b
macros: 
\begin{quote}\itshape\small
(one would have to parse the characters one by one, 
 and I'm not ready to do so\dots)
\end{quote}
Instead, I here change two \LaTeX\ macros that use the primitive.
