<p>This manual corresponds to version 6.2.0 of the Kpathsea
library, released in May 2014.
</p>
<p>The library’s fundamental purpose is to return a filename from a list of
directories specified by the user, similar to what shells do when
looking up program names to execute.
</p>
<a name="index-programs-using-the-library"></a>
<p>The following software, all of which is maintained in parallel, uses
this library:
</p>
<ul>
<li> Dviljk (see the ‘<samp>dvilj</samp>’ man page)
</li><li> Dvipsk (see <cite><a href="dvips.html#Top">Dvips: A DVI driver</a></cite>)
</li><li> GNU font utilities (see <cite><a href="fontu.html#Top">GNU font utilities</a></cite>)
</li><li> Web2c (see <cite><a href="web2c.html#Top">Web2c: A TeX implementation</a></cite>)
</li><li> Xdvik (see the ‘<samp>xdvi</samp>’ man page)
</li></ul>
<p>Other software that we do not maintain also uses it.
</p>
<p>Kpathsea is now maintained as part of the TeX Live distribution
(<a href="http://tug.org/texlive">http://tug.org/texlive</a>). For information on configuration,
building, installing, and more, see <cite><a href="tlbuild.html#Top">Building TeX

came about. If you like to read historical accounts of software, we
urge you to seek out the GNU Autoconf manual and the “Errors of
TeX” paper by Don Knuth, published in his book <cite>Digital
Typography</cite>, among other places.

<a name="index-pxp-Pascal-preprocessor"></a>
<a name="index-pc-Pascal-compiler"></a>
<p>[Karl writes.] My first ChangeLog entry for Web2c seems to be
February 1990, but I may have done some work before then. In any
case, Tim Morgan and I were jointly maintaining it for a time. (I
should mention here that Tim had made Web2c into a real distribution
long before I had ever used it or even heard of it, and Tom Rokicki
did the original implementation. When I started, I was using
<code>pxp</code> and <code>pc</code> on VAX 11/750’s and the hot new Sun 2
machines.)
</p>
<p>It must have been later in 1990 and 1991 that I started working on
<cite>TeX for the Impatient</cite>. Dvips, Xdvi, Web2c, and the GNU
fontutils (which I was also writing at the time) all used different
environment variables, and, more importantly, had different bugs in
their path searching. This became extremely painful, as I was stressing
everything to the limit working on the book. I also desperately wanted
to implement subdirectory searching, since I couldn’t stand putting
everything in one big directory, and also couldn’t stand having to
explicitly specify <samp>cm</samp>, <samp>pandora</samp>, … in a path.
</p>
<a name="index-Vojta_002c-Paul"></a>
<p>In the first incarnation, I just hacked separately on each
program—that was the original subdirectory searching code in both
Xdvi and Dvips. That is, I tried to go with the flow in each program,
rather than changing the program’s calling sequences to conform to new
routines.
</p>
<p>Then, as bugs inevitably appeared, I found I was fixing the same thing
three times (Web2c and fontutils were already sharing code, since I
maintained both of those—there was no Dvipsk or Xdvik or Dviljk at
this point). After a while, I finally started sharing source files.
They weren’t yet a library, though. I just kept things up to date
with shell scripts. (I was developing on a 386 running ISC 2.2 at the
time, and so didn’t have symbolic links. An awful experience.)
</p>
<a name="index-MacKenzie_002c-David"></a>
<p>The ChangeLogs for Xdvik and Dvipsk record initial releases of those
distributions in May and June 1992. I think it was because I was tired
of the different configuration strategies of each program, not so much
because of the path searching. Autoconf was being developed by David
MacKenzie and others, and I was adapting it to TeX and friends.
</p>
<a name="index-zuhn_002c-david"></a>
<p>I started to make a separate library that other programs could link with
on my birthday in April 1993, according to the ChangeLog. I don’t
remember exactly why I finally took the time to make it a separate
library; a conversation with david zuhn initiated it. Just seemed
like it was time.
</p>
<a name="index-Walsh_002c-Norman"></a>
<a name="index-Neumann_002c-Gustaf"></a>
<p>Dviljk got started in March 1994 after I bought a Laserjet 4. (Kpathsea
work got suspended while Norm Walsh and I, with Gustaf Neumann’s help,
implemented a way for TeX to get at all those neat builtin LJ4 fonts
… such a treat to have something to typeset in besides Palatino!)
</p>
<p>By spring of 1995, I had implemented just about all the path-searching
features in Kpathsea that I plan to, driven beyond my initial goals by
Thomas Esser and others. I then started to integrate Web2c with
Kpathsea. After the release of a stable Web2c, I hope to be able to stop
development, and turn most of my attention back to making fonts for GNU.
(Always assuming Micros**t hasn’t completely obliterated Unix by then,
or that software patents haven’t stopped software development by anybody
smaller than a company with a million-dollar-a-year legal budget. Which
is actually what I think is likely to happen, but that’s another
story…)
</p>
<a name="index-Weber_002c-Olaf"></a>
<p>[Olaf writes.] At the end of 1997, Unix is still alive and kicking,
individuals still develop software, and Web2c development still
continues. Karl had been looking for some time for someone to take up
part of the burden, and I volunteered.
</p>
<a name="index-Hoekwater_002c-Taco"></a>
<a name="index-Breitenlohner_002c-Peter"></a>
<p>[Karl writes again.] Indeed, time goes on. As of 2006 or so, Olaf’s
available time for Kpathsea became rather reduced, and I started
taking overall care of it again, although I did not do any significant
new development. In 2009, Taco Hoekwater made a major rearrangement
to make the library suitable for use within the MetaPost library
(see <a href="#Programming-overview">Programming overview</a>). Also, for some years now, Peter
Breitenlohner has made many improvements to the infrastructure and
kept up-to-date with respect to the overall TeX Live build, where
Kpathsea is now maintained.

<p>The principal free TeX distribution for Unix-like systems is TeX
Live, on the web at <a href="http://tug.org/texlive">http://tug.org/texlive</a>. The pages there
describe many ways to acquire and build TeX, over the Internet or
on physical media, both the sources and precompiled binaries for many
systems, either standalone or as part of various operating system
distributions.
</p>
<p>Web2C, Kpathsea, Dvips, and Dviljk are no longer released as a
separate packages. Their sources are now maintained as part of TeX
Live.

<p>The host <tt>ftp.cs.stanford.edu</tt> is the original source for the files
for which Donald Knuth is directly responsible: <samp>tex.web</samp>,
<samp>plain.tex</samp>, etc. However, unless you want to undertake the very
significant project of building your TeX installation from scratch,
it is far more reliable and less work to retrieve these files as part
of a larger package
</p>
<p>In any case, the Stanford ftp site is not the canonical source for
anything except what was created as part of Knuth’s original TeX,
so do not rely on any other files available there being up-to-date.
The best place to check for up-to-date files is CTAN (the
Comprehensive TeX Archive Network), <a href="http://www.ctan.org">http://www.ctan.org</a>.

<h2 class="chapter">3 Security</h2>
<a name="index-security-considerations"></a>
<p>None of the programs in the TeX system require any special system
privileges, so there’s no first-level security concern of people gaining
illegitimate root access.
</p>
<a name="index-trojan-horse-attack"></a>
<a name="index-_002erhosts_002c-writable-by-TeX"></a>
<p>A TeX document, however, can write to arbitrary files, e.g.,
<samp>~/.rhosts</samp>, and thus an unwitting user who runs TeX on a random
document is vulnerable to a trojan horse attack. This loophole is
closed by default, but you can be permissive if you so desire in
<samp>texmf.cnf</samp>. See <a href="web2c.html#tex-invocation">tex invocation</a> in <cite>Web2c</cite>. MetaPost has
the same issue.
</p>
<p>Dvips, Xdvi, and TeX can also execute shell commands under some
circumstances. To disable this, see the ‘<samp>-R</samp>’ option in <a href="dvips.html#Option-details">Option
details</a> in <cite>Dvips</cite>, the xdvi man page, and <a href="web2c.html#tex-invocation">tex
invocation</a> in <cite>Web2c</cite>, respectively.
</p>
<a name="index-local-cache-of-fonts"></a>
<a name="index-cache-of-fonts_002c-local"></a>
<p>Another security issue arises because it’s very useful—almost
necessary—to make arbitrary fonts on user demand with <code>mktexpk</code>
and friends. Where do these files get installed? By default, the
<code>mktexpk</code> distributed with Kpathsea assumes a world-writable
<samp>/var/tmp</samp> directory; this is a simple and convenient approach, but
it may not suit your situation because it means that a local cache of
fonts is created on every machine.
</p>
<a name="index-globally-writable-directories"></a>
<p>To avoid this duplication, many people consider a shared, globally
writable font tree desirable, in spite of the potential security
problems. To do this you should change the value of <code>VARTEXFONTS</code>
in <samp>texmf.cnf</samp> to refer to some globally known directory.
See <a href="#mktex-configuration">mktex configuration</a>.
</p>
<a name="index-append_002donly-directories-and-mktexpk"></a>
<p>The first restriction you can apply is to make newly-created directories
under <samp>texmf</samp> be append-only with an option in <samp>mktex.cnf</samp>.
See <a href="#mktex-configuration">mktex configuration</a>.
</p>
<a name="index-group_002dwritable-directories"></a>
<a name="index-setgid-scripts"></a>
<p>Another approach is to establish a group (or user) for TeX files,
make the <samp>texmf</samp> tree writable only to that group (or user), and
make <code>mktexpk</code> et al. setgid to that group (or setuid to that
user). Then users must invoke the scripts to install things. (If
you’re worried about the inevitable security holes in scripts, then you
could write a C wrapper to exec the script.)
</p>
<a name="index-file-permissions"></a>
<a name="index-permissions_002c-file"></a>
<p>The <samp>mktex…</samp> scripts install files with the same read and
write permissions as the directory they are installed in. The
executable, sgid, suid, and sticky bits are always cleared.
</p>
<a name="index-directory-permissions"></a>
<a name="index-permissions_002c-directory"></a>
<p>Any directories created by the <samp>mktex…</samp> scripts have the
same permissions as their parent directory, unless the
<code>appendonlydir</code> feature is used, in which case the sticky bit is
always set.

<a name="index-path-searching_002c-overview"></a>
<a name="index-overview-of-path-searching"></a>
<a name="index-search-path_002c-defined"></a>
<p>A <em>search path</em> is a colon-separated list of <em>path elements</em>,
which are directory names with a few extra frills. A search path can
come from (a combination of) many sources; see below. To look up a file
‘<samp>foo</samp>’ along a path ‘<samp>.:/dir</samp>’, Kpathsea checks each element of
the path in turn: first <samp>./foo</samp>, then <samp>/dir/foo</samp>, returning
the first match (or possibly all matches).
</p>
<a name="index-magic-characters"></a>
<a name="index-_003a-may-not-be-_003a"></a>
<a name="index-_002f-may-not-be-_002f"></a>
<p>The “colon” and “slash” mentioned here aren’t necessarily ‘<samp>:</samp>’
and ‘<samp>/</samp>’ on non-Unix systems. Kpathsea tries to adapt to other
operating systems’ conventions.
</p>
<a name="index-database-search"></a>
<a name="index-searching-the-database"></a>
<p>To check a particular path element <var>e</var>, Kpathsea first sees if a
prebuilt database (see <a href="#Filename-database">Filename database</a>) applies to <var>e</var>, i.e.,
if the database is in a directory that is a prefix of <var>e</var>. If so,
the path specification is matched against the contents of the database.
</p>
<a name="index-floating-directories"></a>
<a name="index-filesystem-search"></a>
<a name="index-disk-search"></a>
<a name="index-searching-the-disk"></a>
<p>If the database does not exist, or does not apply to this path element,
or contains no matches, the filesystem is searched (if this was not
forbidden by the specification with ‘<samp>!!</samp>’ and if the file being
searched for must exist). Kpathsea constructs the list of directories
that correspond to this path element, and then checks in each for the
file being searched for. (To help speed future lookups of files in the
same directory, the directory in which a file is found is floated to the
top of the directory list.)
</p>
<a name="index-must-exist"></a>
<a name="index-VF-files_002c-not-found"></a>
<a name="index-cmr10_002evf"></a>
<a name="index-_005copenin"></a>
<p>The “file must exist” condition comes into play with VF files and
input files read by the TeX ‘<samp>\openin</samp>’ command. These files
might very well not exist (consider <samp>cmr10.vf</samp>), and so it would
be wrong to search the disk for them. Therefore, if you fail to
update <samp>ls-R</samp> when you install a new VF file, it will not be
found.
</p>
<p>Each path element is checked in turn: first the database, then the disk.
If a match is found, the search stops and the result is returned. This
avoids possibly-expensive processing of path specifications that are
never needed on a particular run. (Unless the search explicitly
requested all matches.)
</p>
<a name="index-expansion_002c-path-element"></a>
<p>Although the simplest and most common path element is a directory name,
Kpathsea supports additional features in search paths: layered default
values, environment variable names, config file values, users’ home
directories, and recursive subdirectory searching. Thus, we say that
Kpathsea <em>expands</em> a path element, meaning transforming all the
magic specifications into the basic directory name or names. This
process is described in the sections below. It happens in the same
order as the sections.
</p>
<a name="index-absolute-filenames"></a>
<a name="index-relative-filenames"></a>
<a name="index-explicitly-relative-filenames"></a>
<a name="index-filenames_002c-absolute-or-explicitly-relative"></a>
<p>Exception to all of the above: If the filename being searched for is
absolute or explicitly relative, i.e., starts with ‘<samp>/</samp>’ or ‘<samp>./</samp>’
or ‘<samp>../</samp>’, Kpathsea simply checks if that file exists.
</p>
<a name="index-permission-denied"></a>
<a name="index-unreadable-files"></a>
<a name="index-access-warnings"></a>
<a name="index-warnings_002c-file-access"></a>
<a name="index-lost_002bfound-directory"></a>
<a name="index-TEX_005fHUSH"></a>
<p>Ordinarily, if Kpathsea tries to access a file or directory that
cannot be read, it gives a warning. This is so you will be alerted to
directories or files that accidentally lack any read permission (for
example, a <samp>lost+found</samp> directory). If you prefer not to see
these warnings, include the value ‘<samp>readable</samp>’ in the
<code>TEX_HUSH</code> environment variable or config file value.
</p>
<p>This generic path searching algorithm is implemented in
<samp>kpathsea/pathsearch.c</samp>. It is employed by a higher-level
algorithm when searching for a file of a particular type (see <a href="#File-lookup">File lookup</a>, and <a href="#Glyph-lookup">Glyph lookup</a>).

<p>A search path can come from many sources. In the order in which
Kpathsea uses them:
</p>
<ol>
<li> <a name="index-environment-variable_002c-source-for-path"></a>
A user-set environment variable, e.g., <code>TEXINPUTS</code>.
Environment variables with an underscore and the program name appended
override; for example, <code>TEXINPUTS_latex</code> overrides <code>TEXINPUTS</code>
if the program being run is named ‘<samp>latex</samp>’.
</li><li> A program-specific configuration file, e.g., an ‘<samp>S /a:/b</samp>’ line in
Dvips’ <samp>config.ps</samp> (see <a href="dvips.html#Config-files">Config files</a> in <cite>Dvips</cite>).
</li><li> <a name="index-configuration-file_002c-source-for-path"></a>
<a name="index-Kpathsea-config-file_002c-source-for-path"></a>
<a name="index-texmf_002ecnf_002c-source-for-path"></a>
A line in a Kpathsea configuration file <samp>texmf.cnf</samp>, e.g.,
‘<samp>TEXINPUTS=/c:/d</samp>’ (see below).
</li><li> <a name="index-compilation-value_002c-source-for-path"></a>
The compile-time default (specified in <samp>kpathsea/paths.h</samp>).
</li></ol>
<p>You can see each of these values for a given search path by using the
debugging options (see <a href="#Debugging">Debugging</a>).
</p>
<p>These sources may be combined via default expansion (see <a href="#Default-expansion">Default expansion</a>).

<a name="index-runtime-configuration-files"></a>
<a name="index-TEXMFCNF"></a>
<p>As mentioned above, Kpathsea reads <em>runtime configuration files</em>
named <samp>texmf.cnf</samp> for search path and other definitions. The
search path used to look for these configuration files is named
<code>TEXMFCNF</code>, and is constructed in the usual way, as described
above, except that configuration files cannot be used to define the
path, naturally; also, an <samp>ls-R</samp> database is not used to search for
them.
</p>
<p>Kpathsea reads <em>all</em> <samp>texmf.cnf</samp> files in the search path, not
just the first one found; definitions in earlier files override those in
later files. Thus, if the search path is ‘<samp>.:$TEXMF</samp>’, values from
<samp>./texmf.cnf</samp> override those from <samp>$TEXMF/texmf.cnf</samp>.

<a name="index-warning_002c-about-missing-texmf_002ecnf"></a>
<a name="index-texmf_002ecnf-missing_002c-warning-about"></a>
<p>If Kpathsea cannot find any <samp>texmf.cnf</samp> file, it reports a
warning including all the directories it checked. If you don’t want
to see this warning, set the environment variable
<code>KPATHSEA_WARNING</code> to the single character ‘<samp>0</samp>’ (zero, not
oh).
</p>
<p>While (or instead of) reading this description, you may find it helpful
to look at the distributed <samp>texmf.cnf</samp>, which uses or at least
mentions most features. The format of <samp>texmf.cnf</samp> files follows:
</p>
<ul>
<li> <a name="index-comments_002c-in-texmf_002ecnf"></a>
Comments start with ‘<samp>%</samp>’, either at the beginning of a line or
preceded by whitespace, and continue to the end of the line. That is,
as with most shells, a ‘<samp>%</samp>’ in the “middle” of a value does not
start a comment. Examples:
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">% this is a comment
var = a%b % but the value of var will be "a%b".
</pre></div>

<p>where the ‘<samp>=</samp>’ and surrounding whitespace is optional.
</p>
</li><li> <a name="index-identifiers_002c-characters-valid-in"></a>
The <var>variable</var> name may contain any character other than whitespace,
‘<samp>=</samp>’, or ‘<samp>.</samp>’, but sticking to ‘<samp>A-Za-z_</samp>’ is safest.
</li><li> If ‘<samp>.<var>progname</var></samp>’ is present, the definition only
applies if the program that is running is named (i.e., the last
component of <code>argv[0]</code> is) <var>progname</var> or
<samp><var>progname</var>.{exe,bat,cmd,...}</samp>. Most notably, this allows
different flavors of TeX to have different search paths.
</li><li> <a name="index-right_002dhand-side-of-variable-assignments"></a>
<var>value</var> may contain any characters except ‘<samp>%</samp>’ and ‘<samp>@</samp>’.
(These restrictions are only necessary because of the processing done
on <samp>texmf.cnf</samp> at build time, so you can stick those characters
in after installation if you have to.) The
‘<samp>$<var>var</var>.<var>prog</var></samp>’ feature is not available on the
right-hand side; instead, you must use an additional variable (see
below for example). A ‘<samp>;</samp>’ in <var>value</var> is translated to
‘<samp>:</samp>’ if running under Unix; this is useful to write a single
<samp>texmf.cnf</samp> which can be used under both Unix and Windows.
</li><li> All definitions are read before anything is expanded, so you can
use variables before they are defined (like Make, unlike most other
programs).
</li></ul>
<p>Here is a configuration file fragment illustrating most of
these points:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">% TeX input files -- i.e., anything to be found by \input or \openin ...
latex209_inputs = .:$TEXMF/tex/latex209//:$TEXMF/tex//

TEXINPUTS = .:$TEXMF/tex//
TEXINPUTS.latex209 = $latex209_inputs

<a name="index-configuration-files-as-shell-scripts_002e"></a>
<p>This format has obvious similarities to Bourne shell scripts—change
the comment character to <code>#</code>, disallow spaces around the
<code>=</code>, and get rid of the <code>.<var>name</var></code> convention, and it
could be run through the shell. However, there seemed little
advantage in this, since all the information would have to passed back
to Kpathsea and parsed there anyway, since the <code>sh</code> process
couldn’t affect its parent’s environment.

<p>Kpathsea recognizes certain special characters and constructions in
search paths, similar to that in shells. As a general example:
‘<samp>~$USER/{foo,bar}//baz</samp>’ expands to all subdirectories under
directories <samp>foo</samp> and <samp>bar</samp> in <tt>$USER</tt>’s home directory that
contain a directory or file <samp>baz</samp>. These expansions are explained
in the sections below.

<a name="index-default-expansion"></a>
<a name="index-expansion_002c-default"></a>
<p>If the highest-priority search path (see <a href="#Path-sources">Path sources</a>) contains an
<em>extra colon</em> (i.e., leading, trailing, or doubled), Kpathsea
inserts at that point the next-highest-priority search path that is
defined. If that inserted path has an extra colon, the same happens
with the next-highest. (An extra colon in the compile-time default
value has unpredictable results, so installers beware.)
</p>
<p>For example, given an environment variable setting
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">setenv TEXINPUTS /home/karl:
</pre></div>
<p>and a <code>TEXINPUTS</code> value from <samp>texmf.cnf</samp> of
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">.:$TEXMF//tex
</pre></div>
<p>then the final value used for searching will be:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">/home/karl:.:$TEXMF//tex
</pre></div>
<p>Put another way, default expansion works on “formats” (search
paths), and not directly on environment variables. Example, showing
the trailing ‘<samp>:</samp>’ ignored in the first case and expanded in the second:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">$ env TTFONTS=/tmp: kpsewhich --expand-path '$TTFONTS'
/tmp
$ env TTFONTS=/tmp: kpsewhich --show-path=.ttf
/tmp:.:/home/olaf/texmf/fonts/truetype//:...
</pre></div>
<p>Since Kpathsea looks for multiple configuration files, it would be
natural to expect that (for example) an extra colon in
<samp>./texmf.cnf</samp> would expand to the path in <samp>$TEXMF/texmf.cnf</samp>.
Or, with Dvips’ configuration files, that an extra colon in
<samp>config.$PRINTER</samp> would expand to the path in <samp>config.ps</samp>.
This doesn’t happen. It’s not clear this would be desirable in all
cases, and trying to devise a way to specify the path to which the extra
colon should expand seemed truly baroque.
<a name="index-Bach_002c-Johann-Sebastian"></a>
</p>
<p>Technicality: Since it would be useless to insert the default value in
more than one place, Kpathsea changes only one extra ‘<samp>:</samp>’ and leaves
any others in place (they will eventually be ignored). Kpathsea checks
first for a leading ‘<samp>:</samp>’, then a trailing ‘<samp>:</samp>’, then a doubled
‘<samp>:</samp>’.
</p>
<a name="index-kdefault_002ec"></a>
<p>You can trace this by debugging “paths” (see <a href="#Debugging">Debugging</a>).

<p>‘<samp>$foo</samp>’ or ‘<samp>${foo}</samp>’ in a path element is replaced by (1) the
value of an environment variable ‘<samp>foo</samp>’ (if defined); (2) the value
of ‘<samp>foo</samp>’ from <samp>texmf.cnf</samp> (if defined); (3) the empty string.
</p>
<p>If the character after the ‘<samp>$</samp>’ is alphanumeric or ‘<samp>_</samp>’, the
variable name consists of all consecutive such characters. If the
character after the ‘<samp>$</samp>’ is a ‘<samp>{</samp>’, the variable name consists
of everything up to the next ‘<samp>}</samp>’ (braces may not be nested around
variable names). Otherwise, Kpathsea gives a warning and ignores the

<p>A leading ‘<samp>~</samp>’ in a path element is replaced by the value of the
environment variable <code>HOME</code>, or <samp>.</samp> if <code>HOME</code> is not
set. On Windows, the environment variable <code>USERPROFILE</code> is
checked instead of <code>HOME</code>.
</p>
<p>A leading ‘<samp>~<var>user</var></samp>’ in a path element is replaced by
<var>user</var>’s home directory from the system <samp>passwd</samp> database.
</p>
<p>For example,

<div class="example">
<pre class="example">foo/{1,2}/baz

</p>
<p>Braces can be nested; for example, ‘<samp>x{A,B{1,2}}y</samp>’ expands to
‘<samp>xAy:xB1y:xB2y</samp>’.
</p>
<p>Multiple non-nested braces are expanded from right to left; for example,
‘<samp>x{A,B}{1,2}y</samp>’ expands to ‘<samp>x{A,B}1y:x{A,B}2y</samp>’, which

<a name="index-Farwell_002c-Matthew"></a>
<a name="index-MacKenzie_002c-David-1"></a>
<p>I should mention one related implementation trick, which I took from GNU
find. Matthew Farwell suggested it, and David MacKenzie implemented it.
</p>
<a name="index-st_005fnlink"></a>
<p>The trick is that in every real Unix implementation (as opposed to the
POSIX specification), a directory which contains no subdirectories will
have exactly two links (namely, one for <samp>.</samp> and one for <samp>..</samp>).
That is to say, the <code>st_nlink</code> field in the ‘<samp>stat</samp>’ structure
will be two. Thus, we don’t have to stat everything in the bottom-level
(leaf) directories—we can just check <code>st_nlink</code>, notice it’s two,
and do no more work.
</p>
<p>But if you have a directory that contains a single subdirectory and 500
regular files, <code>st_nlink</code> will be 3, and Kpathsea has to stat every
one of those 501 entries. Therein lies slowness.
</p>
<a name="index-ST_005fNLINK_005fTRICK"></a>
<p>You can disable the trick by undefining <code>ST_NLINK_TRICK</code> in
<samp>kpathsea/config.h</samp>. (It is undefined by default except under Unix.)
</p>
<a name="index-elt_002ddirs_002ec"></a>
<p>Unfortunately, in some cases files in leaf directories are
<code>stat</code>’d: if the path specification is, say,
‘<samp>$TEXMF/fonts//pk//</samp>’, then files in a subdirectory
‘<samp>…/pk</samp>’, even if it is a leaf, are checked. The reason cannot
be explained without reference to the implementation, so read
<samp>kpathsea/elt-dirs.c</samp> (search for ‘<samp>may descend</samp>’) if you are
curious. And if you can find a way to <em>solve</em> the problem, please
let me know.

<p>Kpathsea goes to some lengths to minimize disk accesses for searches
(see <a href="#Subdirectory-expansion">Subdirectory expansion</a>). Nevertheless, in practice searching
each possible directory in typical TeX installations takes an
excessively long time.
</p>
<p>Therefore, Kpathsea can use an externally-built <em>filename
database</em> file named <samp>ls-R</samp> that maps files to directories, thus
avoiding the need to exhaustively search the disk.
</p>
<p>A second database file <samp>aliases</samp> allows you to give additional
names to the files listed in <samp>ls-R</samp>. This can be helpful to adapt
to “8.3” filename conventions in source files.
</p>
<p>The <samp>ls-R</samp> and <samp>aliases</samp> features are implemented in the

<p>As mentioned above, you must name the main filename database
<samp>ls-R</samp>. You can put one at the root of each TeX installation
hierarchy you wish to search (<code>$TEXMF</code> by default); most sites have
only one hierarchy. Kpathsea looks for <samp>ls-R</samp> files along the
<code>TEXMFDBS</code> path, so that should presumably match the list of
hierarchies.
</p>
<p>The recommended way to create and maintain ‘<samp>ls-R</samp>’ is to run the
<code>mktexlsr</code> script, which is installed in ‘<samp>$(bindir)</samp>’
(<samp>/usr/local/bin</samp> by default). That script goes to some trouble to
follow symbolic links as necessary, etc. It’s also invoked by the
distributed ‘<samp>mktex…</samp>’ scripts.
</p>
<a name="index-ls_002dR_002c-simplest-build"></a>
<p>At its simplest, though, you can build <samp>ls-R</samp> with the command

section below). GNU <code>ls</code>, for example, outputs in this format.
Also presuming your <code>ls</code> hasn’t been aliased in a system file
(e.g., <samp>/etc/profile</samp>) to something problematic, e.g., ‘<samp>ls
--color=tty</samp>’. In that case, you will have to disable the alias before
generating <samp>ls-R</samp>. For the precise definition of the file format,
see <a href="#Database-format">Database format</a>.
</p>
<p>Regardless of whether you use the supplied script or your own, you will
almost certainly want to invoke it via <code>cron</code>, so when you make
changes in the installed files (say if you install a new LaTeX
package), <samp>ls-R</samp> will be automatically updated.

<a name="index-_002etex-file_002c-included-in-ls_002dR"></a>
<p>The ‘<samp>-A</samp>’ option to <code>ls</code> includes files beginning with ‘<samp>.</samp>’
(except for <samp>.</samp> and <samp>..</samp>), such as the file <samp>.tex</samp>
included with the LaTeX tools package. (On the other hand,
<em>directories</em> whose names begin with ‘<samp>.</samp>’ are always ignored.)
</p>
<a name="index-symbolic-links_002c-and-ls_002dR"></a>

<p>If your system does not support symbolic links, omit the ‘<samp>-L</samp>’.

<a name="index-automounter_002c-and-ls_002dR"></a>
<a name="index-NFS-and-ls_002dR"></a>
<p><code>ls -LAR <var>/your/texmf/root</var></code> will also work. But using
‘<samp>./</samp>’ avoids embedding absolute pathnames, so the hierarchy can be
easily transported. It also avoids possible trouble with automounters
or other network filesystem conventions.
</p>
<a name="index-warning-about-unusable-ls_002dR"></a>
<a name="index-unusable-ls_002dR-warning"></a>
<p>Kpathsea warns you if it finds an <samp>ls-R</samp> file, but the file does
not contain any usable entries. The usual culprit is running plain
‘<samp>ls -R</samp>’ instead of ‘<samp>ls -LR ./</samp>’ or ‘<samp>ls -R
<var>/your/texmf/root</var></samp>’. Another possibility is some system directory
name starting with a ‘<samp>.</samp>’ (perhaps if you are using AFS); Kpathsea
ignores everything under such directories.
</p>
<a name="index-_0021_0021-in-path-specifications"></a>
<a name="index-disk-searching_002c-avoiding"></a>
<p>Because the database may be out-of-date for a particular run, if a file
is not found in the database, by default Kpathsea goes ahead and
searches the disk. If a particular path element begins with ‘<samp>!!</samp>’,
however, <em>only</em> the database will be searched for that element,
never the disk. If the database does not exist, nothing will be
searched. Because this can surprise users (“I see the font
<samp>foo.tfm</samp> when I do an <code>ls</code>; why can’t Dvips find it?”), it
is not in any of the default search paths.

<h4 class="subsection">5.4.2 Filename aliases</h4>
<a name="index-filename-aliases"></a>
<a name="index-aliases_002c-for-filenames"></a>
<p>In some circumstances, you may wish to find a file under several names.
For example, suppose a TeX document was created using a DOS system
and tries to read <samp>longtabl.sty</samp>. But now it’s being run on a Unix
system, and the file has its original name, <samp>longtable.sty</samp>. The
file won’t be found. You need to give the actual file
<samp>longtable.sty</samp> an alias ‘<samp>longtabl.sty</samp>’.
</p>
<p>You can handle this by creating a file <samp>aliases</samp> as a companion to
the <samp>ls-R</samp> for the hierarchy containing the file in question. (You
must have an <samp>ls-R</samp> for the alias feature to work.)
</p>
<p>The format of <samp>aliases</samp> is simple: two whitespace-separated words
per line; the first is the real name <samp>longtable.sty</samp>, and second is
the alias (<samp>longtabl.sty</samp>). These must be base filenames, with no
directory components. <samp>longtable.sty</samp> must be in the sibling
<samp>ls-R</samp>.
</p>
<p>Also, blank lines and lines starting with ‘<samp>%</samp>’ or ‘<samp>#</samp>’ are
ignored in <samp>aliases</samp>, to allow for comments.
</p>
<p>If a real file <samp>longtabl.sty</samp> exists, it is used regardless of any
aliases.

<p>The “database” read by Kpathsea is a line-oriented file of plain
text. The format is that generated by GNU (and most other) <code>ls</code>
programs given the ‘<samp>-R</samp>’ option, as follows.
</p>
<ul>
<li> Blank lines are ignored.
</li><li> If a line begins with ‘<samp>/</samp>’ or ‘<samp>./</samp>’ or ‘<samp>../</samp>’ and ends with
a colon, it’s the name of a directory. (‘<samp>../</samp>’ lines aren’t useful,
however, and should not be generated.)
</li><li> All other lines define entries in the most recently seen directory.
<tt>/</tt>’s in such lines will produce possibly-strange results.

<a name="index-path-searching-options"></a>
<p>Kpsewhich looks up each non-option argument on the command line as a
filename, and returns the first file found.
</p>
<p>Various options alter the path searching behavior:
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt>‘<samp>--all</samp>’</dt>
<dd><a name="index-_002d_002dall"></a>
<a name="index-all-matches_002c-finding"></a>
<p>Report all matches found, one per line. By default, if there is more
than one match, just one will be reported (chosen effectively at random).
</p>
</dd>
<dt>‘<samp>--dpi=<var>num</var></samp>’</dt>
<dd><a name="index-_002d_002ddpi_003dnum"></a>
<a name="index-_002dD-num"></a>
<a name="index-resolution_002c-setting"></a>
<p>Set the resolution to <var>num</var>; this only affects ‘<samp>gf</samp>’ and
‘<samp>pk</samp>’ lookups. ‘<samp>-D</samp>’ is a synonym, for compatibility with
Dvips. Default is 600.
</p>
</dd>
<dt>‘<samp>--engine=<var>name</var></samp>’</dt>
<dd><a name="index-_002d_002dengine_003dname"></a>
<a name="index-engine-name"></a>
<p>Set the engine name to <var>name</var>. By default it is not set. The
engine name is used in some search paths to allow files with the same
name but used by different engines to coexist.
</p>
<p>In particular, since the memory dump files
(<samp>.fmt</samp>/<samp>.base</samp>/<samp>.mem</samp>) are now stored in
subdirectories named for the engine (<samp>tex</samp>, <samp>pdftex</samp>,
<samp>xetex</samp>, etc.), you must specify an engine name in order to find
them. For example, <samp>cont-en.fmt</samp> typically exists for both
<samp>pdftex</samp> and <samp>xetex</samp>. With the default path settings, you
can use ‘<samp>--engine=/</samp>’ to look for any dump file, regardless of
engine; if a dump file exists for more than one engine, it’s
indeterminate which one is returned. (The ‘<samp>/</samp>’ ends up specifying
a normal recursive search along the path where the dumps are stored,
namely ‘<samp>$TEXMF/web2c{/$engine,}</samp>’.)
</p>
</dd>
<dt>‘<samp>--format=<var>name</var></samp>’</dt>
<dd><a name="index-_002d_002dformat_003dname"></a>
<p>Set the format for lookup to <var>name</var>. By default, the format is
guessed from the filename, with ‘<samp>tex</samp>’ being used if nothing else
fits. The recognized filename extensions (including any leading
‘<samp>.</samp>’) are also allowable <var>name</var>s.
</p>
<p>All formats also have a name, which is the only way to specify formats
with no associated suffix. For example, for Dvips configuration files
you can use ‘<samp>--format="dvips config"</samp>’. (The quotes are for the
sake of the shell.)
</p>
<p>Here’s the current list of recognized names and the associated suffixes.
See <a href="#Supported-file-formats">Supported file formats</a>, for more information on each of these.
</p>
<p>The strings in parentheses are abbreviations recognized only by
<code>kpsewhich</code> (not the underlying library calls). They are
provided when it would otherwise require an argument containing a
space to specify the format, to simplify quoting of calls from shells.

<p>Report only those matches whose directory part <em>ends</em> with
<var>string</var> (compared literally, except case is ignored on a
case-insensitive operating system). For example, suppose there are
two matches for a given name:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">kpsewhich foo.sty
⇒ /some/where/foo.sty
/another/place/foo.sty
</pre></div>
<p>Then we can narrow the result to what we are interested in with
<samp>--subdir</samp>:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">kpsewhich --subdir=where foo.sty
⇒ /some/where/foo.sty
kpsewhich --subdir=place foo.sty
⇒ /another/place/foo.sty
</pre></div>
<p>The string to match must be at the end of the directory part of the
match, and it is taken literally, with no pattern matching:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">kpsewhich --subdir=another foo.sty
⇒
</pre></div>
<p>The string to match may cross directory components:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">kpsewhich --subdir=some/where foo.sty
⇒ /some/where/foo.sty
</pre></div>
<p><samp>--subdir</samp> implies <samp>--all</samp>; if there is more than one
match, they will all be reported (in our example, both ‘<samp>where</samp>’
and ‘<samp>place</samp>’ end in ‘<samp>e</samp>’):
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">kpsewhich --subdir=e
⇒ /some/where/foo.sty
/another/place/foo.sty
</pre></div>
<p>Because of the above rules, the presence of a leading ‘<samp>/</samp>’ is
important, since it “anchors” the match to a full component name:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">kpsewhich --subdir=/lace foo.sty
⇒
</pre></div>
<p>However, a trailing ‘<samp>/</samp>’ is immaterial (and ignored), since the
match always takes place at the end of the directory part:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">kpsewhich --subdir=lace/ foo.sty
⇒ /another/place/foo.sty
</pre></div>
<p>The purpose of these rules is to make it convenient to find results
only within a particular area of the tree. For instance, a given
script named <samp>foo.lua</samp> might exist within both
<samp>texmf-dist/scripts/pkg1/</samp> and <samp>texmf-dist/scripts/pkg2/</samp>.
By specifying, say, ‘<samp>--subdir=/pkg1</samp>’, you can be sure of getting
the one you are interested in.
</p>
<p>We only match at the end because a site might happen to install TeX
in <samp>/some/coincidental/pkg1/path/</samp>, and we wouldn’t want to match
<samp>texmf-dist/scripts/pkg2/</samp> that when searching for ‘<samp>/pkg1</samp>’.

‘<samp>--expand-path=<var>string</var></samp>’ outputs the complete expansion of
<var>string</var>, with each element separated by the usual path separator
on the current system (‘<samp>;</samp>’ on Windows, ‘<samp>:</samp>’ otherwise).
This may be useful to construct a custom search path for a format not
otherwise supported. To retrieve the search path for a format that is
already supported, see ‘<samp>--show-path</samp>’, next.
<p>Nonexistent directories are culled from the output:

<h2 class="chapter">6 TeX support</h2>
<a name="index-TeX-support"></a>
<p>Although the basic features in Kpathsea can be used for any type of path
searching, it came about (like all libraries) with a specific
application in mind: I wrote Kpathsea specifically for TeX system
programs. I had been struggling with the programs I was using (Dvips,
Xdvi, and TeX itself) having slightly different notions of how to
specify paths; and debugging was painful, since no code was shared.
</p>
<p>Therefore, Kpathsea provides some TeX-specific formats and features.
Indeed, many of the supposedly generic path searching features were
provided because they seemed useful in that conTeXt (font lookup,
particularly).
</p>
<p>Kpathsea provides a standard way to search for files of any of the
supported file types; glyph fonts are a bit different than all the rest.
Searches are based solely on filenames, not file contents—if a GF
file is named <samp>cmr10.600pk</samp>, it will be found as a PK file.

<p>Kpathsea has support for a number of file types. Each file type has a
list of environment and config file variables that are checked to define
the search path, and most have a default suffix that plays a role in
finding files (see the next section). Some also define additional
suffixes, and/or a program to be run to create missing files on the fly.
</p>
<a name="index-program_002dvarying-paths"></a>
<p>Since environment variables containing periods, such as
‘<samp>TEXINPUTS.latex</samp>’, are not allowed on some systems, Kpathsea looks
for environment variables with an underscore, e.g.,
‘<samp>TEXINPUTS_latex</samp>’ (see <a href="#Config-files">Config files</a>).

<p>There are two special cases, because the paths and environment variables
always depend on the name of the program: the variable name is
constructed by converting the program name to upper case, and then
appending ‘<samp>INPUTS</samp>’. Assuming the program is called ‘<samp>foo</samp>’,
this gives us the following table.
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt>‘<samp>other text files</samp>’</dt>
<dd><a name="index-FOOINPUTS"></a>

<dd><a name="index-FOOINPUTS-1"></a>
<p>(binary files used by ‘<samp>foo</samp>’)
<code>FOOINPUTS</code>.
</p></dd>
</dl>
<p>If an environment variable by these names are set, the corresponding
<samp>texmf.cnf</samp> definition won’t be looked at (unless, as usual, the
environment variable value has an extra ‘<samp>:</samp>’). See <a href="#Default-expansion">Default expansion</a>.
</p>
<p>For the font variables, the intent is that:
</p><ul>
<li> <code>TEXFONTS</code> is the default for everything.
</li><li> <code>GLYPHFONTS</code> is the default for bitmap (or, more precisely,
non-metric) files.
</li><li> Each font format has a variable of its own.
</li><li> <a name="index-XDVIFONTS"></a>
<a name="index-DVIPSFONTS"></a>
Each program has its own font override path as well; e.g.,
<code>DVIPSFONTS</code> for Dvipsk. Again, this is for bitmaps, not metrics.

<p>This section describes how Kpathsea searches for most files (bitmap font
searches are the exception, as described in the next section).
</p>
<p>Here is the search strategy for a file <var>name</var>:
</p>
<ol>
<li> If the file format defines default suffixes, and the suffix of
<var>name</var> name is not already a known suffix for that format, try the
name with each default appended, and use alternative names found in
the fontmaps if necessary. Example: given ‘<samp>foo.bar</samp>’, look for
‘<samp>foo.bar.tex</samp>’.
</li><li> Search for <var>name</var>, and if necessary for alternative names found in
the fontmaps. Example: given ‘<samp>foo.bar</samp>’, we also look for
‘<samp>foo.bar</samp>’.
</li><li> If the file format defines a program to invoke to create missing files,
run it (see <a href="#mktex-scripts">mktex scripts</a>).
</li></ol>

<a name="index-suffixes_002c-filename"></a>
<a name="index-try_005fstd_005fextension_005ffirst"></a>
<p>The order in which we search for “suffixed” name (item 1) or
the “as-is” name (item 2) is controlled by the
<samp>try_std_extension_first</samp> configuration value. The default set
in <samp>texmf.cnf</samp> is true, since common suffixes are already
recognized: ‘<samp>babel.sty</samp>’ will only look for ‘<samp>babel.sty</samp>’, not
‘<samp>babel.sty.tex</samp>’, regardless of this setting.
</p>
<p>When the suffix is unknown (e.g., ‘<samp>foo.bar</samp>’), both names are
always tried; the difference is the order in which they are tried.
</p>
<p><samp>try_std_extension_first</samp> only affects names being looked up
which *already* have an extension. A name without an extension (e.g.,
‘<samp>tex story</samp>’) will always have an extension added first.
</p>
<a name="index-tex_002dfile_002ec"></a>
<a name="index-kpathsea_005ffind_005ffile"></a>
<p>This algorithm is implemented in the function

<p>This section describes how Kpathsea searches for a bitmap font in GF or

resolution (e.g., 600).
</p>
<p>Here is an outline of the search strategy (details in the sections

at the first successful lookup.
</p>
<ol>

</li><li> Run an external program (typically named ‘<samp>mktexpk</samp>’) to

<p>When Kpathsea looks for a bitmap font <var>name</var> at resolution <var>dpi</var>
in a format <var>format</var>, it first checks each directory in the search
path for a file ‘<samp><var>name</var>.<var>dpi</var><var>format</var></samp>’; for example,
‘<samp>cmr10.600pk</samp>’. Kpathsea looks for a PK file first, then a GF file.
</p>
<p>If that fails, Kpathsea looks for
‘<samp>dpi<var>dpi</var>/<var>name</var>.<var>format</var></samp>’; for example,
‘<samp>dpi600/cmr10.pk</samp>’. This is how fonts are typically stored on
filesystems (such as DOS) that permit only three-character extensions.

“Close enough” is defined by the macro <code>KPSE_BITMAP_TOLERANCE</code> in
<samp>kpathsea/tex-glyph.h</samp> to be <code><var>dpi</var> / 500 + 1</code>. This is
slightly more than the 0.2% minimum allowed by the DVI standard

<a name="index-aliases-for-fonts"></a>
<a name="index-texfonts_002emap"></a>
<p>If a bitmap font or metric file is not found with the original name (see
the previous section), Kpathsea looks through any <em>fontmap</em> files
for an <em>alias</em> for the original font name. These files are named
<samp>texfonts.map</samp> and searched for along the <code>TEXFONTMAPS</code>
environment/config file variable. All <samp>texfonts.map</samp> files that
are found are read; earlier definitions override later ones.
</p>
<p>This feature is intended to help in two respects:
</p>
<ol>
<li> <a name="index-fontnames_002c-arbitrary-length"></a>
An alias name is limited in length only by available memory, not by your
filesystem. Therefore, if you want to ask for ‘<samp>Times-Roman</samp>’
instead of <samp>ptmr</samp>, you can (you get ‘<samp>ptmr8r</samp>’).
</li><li> <a name="index-circle-fonts"></a>
<a name="index-lcircle10"></a>
A few fonts have historically had multiple names: specifically,
LaTeX’s “circle font” has variously been known as <samp>circle10</samp>,
<samp>lcircle10</samp>, and <samp>lcirc10</samp>. Aliases can make all the names
equivalent, so that it no longer matters what the name of the installed
file is; TeX documents will find their favorite name.
</li></ol>
<p>The format of fontmap files is straightforward:
</p>
<ul>
<li> <a name="index-comments_002c-in-fontmap-files"></a>
Comments start with ‘<samp>%</samp>’ and continue to the end of the line.
</li><li> <a name="index-whitespace_002c-in-fontmap-files"></a>
Blank lines are ignored.
</li><li> Each nonblank line is broken up into a series of <em>words</em>:
a sequence of non-whitespace characters.
</li><li> <a name="index-include-fontmap-directive"></a>
If the first word is ‘<samp>include</samp>’, the second word is used as
a filename, and it is searched for and read.
</li><li> Otherwise, the first word on each line is the true filename;
</li><li> the second word is the alias;
</li><li> subsequent words are ignored.
</li></ul>
<p>If an alias has an extension, it matches only those files with that
extension; otherwise, it matches anything with the same root, regardless
of extension. For example, an alias ‘<samp>foo.tfm</samp>’ matches only when
<samp>foo.tfm</samp> is being searched for; but an alias ‘<samp>foo</samp>’ matches
<samp>foo.vf</samp>, <samp>foo.600pk</samp>, etc.
</p>
<p>As an example, here is an excerpt from the <samp>texfonts.map</samp> in the
Web2c distribution. It makes the old and new names of the LaTeX
circle fonts equivalent.
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">circle10 lcircle10
circle10 lcirc10
lcircle10 circle10
lcircle10 lcirc10

</pre></div>
<p>Fontmaps are implemented in the file <samp>kpathsea/fontmap.c</samp>.

(see <cite><a href="fontname.html#Top">Filenames for TeX fonts</a></cite>).

<p>If a bitmap font cannot be found or created at the requested size,
Kpathsea looks for the font at a set of <em>fallback resolutions</em>. You
specify these resolutions as a colon-separated list (like search paths).
Kpathsea looks first for a program-specific environment variable (e.g.,
<code>DVIPSSIZES</code> for Dvipsk), then the environment variable
<code>TEXSIZES</code>, then a default specified at compilation time (the Make
variable <code>default_texsizes</code>). You can set this list to be empty if
you prefer to find fonts at their stated size or not at all.
</p>
<a name="index-cmr10_002c-as-fallback-font"></a>
<a name="index-kpathsea_005finit_005fprog"></a>
<p>Finally, if the font cannot be found even at the fallback resolutions,
Kpathsea looks for a fallback font, typically <samp>cmr10</samp>. Programs
must enable this feature by calling <code>kpathsea_init_prog</code>
(see <a href="#Calling-sequence">Calling sequence</a>); the default is no fallback font.

this is useful at large sites where most users are not administrators,

<p>If Kpathsea cannot otherwise find a file, for some file types it is
configured by default to invoke an external program to create it
dynamically (see <a href="#mktex-configuration">mktex configuration</a>). These are collectively
known as <em><code>mktex</code> scripts</em>, since most of them are named
<code>mktex...</code>.
</p>
<p>For example, this is useful for fonts (bitmaps, TFM’s, and
arbitrarily-sizable Metafont sources such as the Sauter and EC fonts),
since any given document can use fonts never before referenced.
Building all fonts in advance is therefore impractical, if not
impossible.
</p>
<p>It is also useful for the TeX ‘<samp>.fmt</samp>’ (and Metafont
‘<samp>.base</samp>’ and Metapost ‘<samp>.mem</samp>’ files, see <a href="Web2c.html#Memory-dumps">Memory
dumps</a> in <cite>web2c</cite>), where pre-generating every format consumes a
lot of both time and space.
</p>
<p>The script is passed the name of the file to create and possibly other
arguments, as explained below. It must echo the full pathname of the
file it created (and nothing else) to standard output; it can write
diagnostics to standard error.

<a name="index-site-overrides-for-mktex_2026"></a>
<p>As distributed, all the scripts source a file
<samp>texmf/web2c/mktex.cnf</samp> if it exists, so you can override various
defaults.
See <samp>mktex.opt</samp>, for instance, which defines the default mode,
resolution, some special directory names, etc. If you prefer not to
change the distributed scripts, you can simply create <samp>mktex.cnf</samp>
with the appropriate definitions (you do not need to create it if you
have nothing to put in it). <samp>mktex.cnf</samp> has no special syntax;
it’s an arbitrary Bourne shell script. The distribution contains a

is not installed anywhere).
</p>
<a name="index-mktex_002eopt-1"></a>
<a name="index-MT_005fFEATURES"></a>
<p>In addition, you can configure a number of features with the
<code>MT_FEATURES</code> variable, which you can define:
</p>
<ul>
<li> in <samp>mktex.opt</samp>, as just mentioned;
</li><li> by editing the file <samp>mktex.opt</samp>, either before ‘<samp>make

</li><li> or in the environment.
</li></ul>
<p>If none of the options below are enabled, <code>mktexpk</code>,
<code>mktextfm</code>, and <code>mktexmf</code> follow the following procedure to
decide where fonts should be installed. Find the tree where the font’s
sources are, and test the permissions of the ‘<samp>fonts</samp>’ directory of
that tree to determine whether it is writable. If it is, put the files
in the tree in appropriate locations. If it isn’t writable, see whether

would otherwise clash with other TeX-related filenames; <samp>mktex</samp>
scripts do nothing about filenames which exceed the 8+3 MS-DOS limits
but remain unique when truncated (by the OS) to these limits, and nether
do the scripts care about possible clashes with files which aren’t
related with TeX. For example, <samp>cmr10.600pk</samp> would clash with
<samp>cmr10.600gf</samp> and is therefore changed when ‘<samp>dosnames</samp>’ is in

<h3 class="section">7.1 Programming overview</h3>
<a name="index-programming-overview"></a>
<a name="index-overview-of-programming-with-Kpathsea"></a>
<p>Aside from this manual, your best source of information is the source
to the programs that use Kpathsea (see <a href="#Introduction">Introduction</a>). Of those,
Dviljk is probably the simplest, and hence a good place to start.
Xdvik adds VF support and the complication of X resources. Dvipsk
adds the complication of its own config files. Web2c is source code I
also maintain, so it uses Kpathsea rather straightforwardly, but is of
course complicated by the Web to C translation. Finally, Kpsewhich is
a small utility program whose sole purpose is to exercise the main
path-searching functionality.
</p>
<a name="index-re_002dentrant-API"></a>
<a name="index-API_002c-re_002dentrant"></a>
<p>When looking at these program sources, you should know that previous
versions of the library had a different programming interface, to
support re-entrancy. In that interface the library function names
were prefixed with <code>kpse_</code> instead of <code>kpathsea_</code>, and they
did not need an instance variable as first argument. This change was
made in 2009. Some of the programs mentioned above may still be using
the previous interface.
</p>
<a name="index-pathsearch_002eh"></a>
<a name="index-tex_002dfile_002eh"></a>
<a name="index-tex_002dglyph_002eh"></a>
<a name="index-kpathsea_002eh"></a>
<p>Beyond these examples, the <samp>.h</samp> files in the Kpathsea source
describe the interfaces and functionality (and of course the <samp>.c</samp>
files define the actual routines, which are the ultimate documentation).
<samp>pathsearch.h</samp> declares the basic searching routine.
<samp>tex-file.h</samp> and <samp>tex-glyph.h</samp> define the interfaces for
looking up particular kinds of files. In view of the way the headers
depend on each other, it is recommended to use <code>#include
<kpathsea/kpathsea.h></code>, which includes every Kpathsea header.
</p>
<a name="index-config_002eh"></a>
<a name="index-c_002dauto_002eh"></a>
<p>If you want to include only specific headers, you should still consider
including <samp>kpathsea/config.h</samp> before including any other Kpathsea
header, as it provides symbols used in the other headers. Note that
<samp>kpathsea/config.h</samp> includes <samp>kpathsea/c-auto.h</samp>, which is
generated by Autoconf.
</p>
<a name="index-file-types_002c-registering-new"></a>
<p>The library provides no way for an external program to register new file
types: <samp>tex-file.[ch]</samp> must be modified to do this. For example,
Kpathsea has support for looking up Dvips config files, even though no
program other than Dvips will likely ever want to do so. I felt this
was acceptable, since along with new file types should also come new
defaults in <samp>texmf.cnf</samp> (and its descendant <samp>paths.h</samp>), since
it’s simplest for users if they can modify one configuration file for
all kinds of paths.
</p>
<p>Kpathsea does not parse any formats itself; it barely opens any files.
Its primary purpose is to return filenames. The GNU font utilities does
contain libraries to read TFM, GF, and PK files, as do the programs
above, of course.

<h3 class="section">7.2 Calling sequence</h3>
<a name="index-programming-with-Kpathsea"></a>
<a name="index-calling-sequence"></a>
<p>The typical way to use Kpathsea in your program goes something like this:
</p>
<ol>
<li> <a name="index-kpathsea_005fnew"></a>
Call <code>kpathsea_new</code> to create a new library instance. This variable
must be passed as the first argument to all the following library functions.
The rest of this manual will be using <code>kpse</code> as a placeholder for
the name of this variable.
</li><li> <a name="index-kpathsea_005fset_005fprogram_005fname"></a>
<a name="index-argv_005b0_005d"></a>
Call <code>kpathsea_set_program_name</code> with <code>argv[0]</code> as the second
argument; the third argument is a string or <code>NULL</code>. The third
argument is used by Kpathsea as the program name for the
<code>.<var>program</var></code> feature of config files (see <a href="#Config-files">Config files</a>).
If the third argument is <code>NULL</code>, the value of the second argument
is used. This function must be called before any other use of the
Kpathsea library.
<a name="index-kpse_002d_003einvocation_005fname"></a>
<a name="index-kpse_002d_003einvocation_005fshort_005fname"></a>
<a name="index-kpse_002d_003eprogram_005fname"></a>
<a name="index-error-message-macros"></a>
<p><code>kpathsea_set_program_name</code> always sets the variables
<code>kpse->invocation_name</code> and <code>kpse->invocation_short_name</code>.
These variables are used in the error message macros defined in
<samp>kpathsea/lib.h</samp>. It sets the variable
<code>kpse->program_name</code> to the program name it uses.
</p>
<a name="index-KPATHSEA_005fDEBUG"></a>
<p>It also initializes debugging options based on the environment
variable <code>KPATHSEA_DEBUG</code> (if that is set).
</p>
<a name="index-SELFAUTOLOC"></a>
<a name="index-SELFAUTODIR"></a>
<a name="index-SELFAUTOPARENT"></a>
<a name="index-symlinks_002c-resolving"></a>
<a name="index-expanding-symlinks"></a>
<p>Finally, it sets the environment variables <code>SELFAUTOLOC</code>, <code>SELFAUTODIR</code>
and <code>SELFAUTOPARENT</code> to the location, parent and grandparent
directory of the executable, removing <samp>.</samp> and <samp>..</samp> path
elements and resolving symbolic links. These are used in the default
configuration file to allow people to invoke TeX from anywhere. You
can use ‘<samp>kpsewhich --expand-var=\$SELFAUTOLOC</samp>’, etc., to see the
values.
</p>
</li><li> <a name="index-kpse_002d_003edebug-variable"></a>
<a name="index-debugging-options_002c-in-Kpathsea_002dusing-program"></a>
Set debugging options. See <a href="#Debugging">Debugging</a>. If your program doesn’t have a
debugging option already, you can define one and set
<code>kpse->debug</code> to the number that the user supplies (as in Dviljk
and Web2c), or you can just omit this altogether (people can always set
<code>KPATHSEA_DEBUG</code>). If you do have runtime debugging already, you
need to merge Kpathsea’s options with yours (as in Dvipsk and Xdvik).
</li><li> <a name="index-client_005fpath-in-kpse_002d_003eformat_005finfo"></a>
<a name="index-kpse_002d_003eformat_005finfo"></a>
<a name="index-resident_002ec"></a>
<a name="index-config-files_002c-for-Kpathsea_002dusing-programs"></a>
If your program has its own configuration files that can define search
paths, you should assign those paths to the <code>client_path</code> member in
the appropriate element of the <code>kpse->format_info</code> array. (This
array is indexed by file type; see <samp>tex-file.h</samp>.) See
<samp>resident.c</samp> in Dvipsk for an example.
</li><li> <a name="index-kpathsea_005finit_005fprog-1"></a>
<a name="index-proginit_002eh"></a>
Call <code>kpathsea_init_prog</code> (see <samp>proginit.c</samp>). It’s useful for the
DVI drivers, at least, but for other programs it may be simpler to
extract the parts of it that actually apply. This does not initialize
any paths, it just looks for (and sets) certain environment variables
and other random information. (A search path is always initialized at
the first call to find a file of that type; this eliminates much useless
work, e.g., initializing the BibTeX search paths in a DVI driver.)
</li><li> <a name="index-kpathsea_005ffind_005ffile-1"></a>
The routine to actually find a file of type <var>format</var> is
<samp>kpathsea_find_file</samp>. You can call
<code>kpathsea_find_file</code> after doing only the first and second of the
initialization steps above—Kpathsea automatically reads the
<samp>texmf.cnf</samp> generic config files, looks for environment variables,
and does expansions at the first lookup.
</li><li> To find PK and/or GF bitmap fonts, the routine
is <code>kpathsea_find_glyph</code>, defined in
<samp>tex-glyph.h</samp>. This returns a structure in addition to the
resultant filename, because fonts can be found in so many ways. See the
documentation in the source.
</li><li> <a name="index-kpathsea_005fopen_005ffile"></a>
To actually open a file, not just return a filename, call
<code>kpathsea_open_file</code>. This function takes the name to look up and a
Kpathsea file format as arguments, and returns the usual <code>FILE *</code>.
It always assumes the file must exist, and thus will search the disk if
necessary (unless the search path specified ‘<samp>!!</samp>’, etc.). In other
words, if you are looking up a VF or some other file that need not
exist, don’t use this.
</li><li> <a name="index-kpathsea_005fout_005fname_005fok"></a>
TeX can write output files, via the <code>\openout</code> primitive; this opens
a security hole vulnerable to Trojan horse attack: an unwitting user could
run a TeX program that overwrites, say, <samp>~/.rhosts</samp>. Analogous
security holes exist for many other programs. To alleviate this, there is a
configuration variable <code>openout_any</code>, which selects one of three levels
of security. When it is set to ‘<samp>a</samp>’ (for “any”), no restrictions are
imposed. When it is set to ‘<samp>r</samp>’ (for “restricted”), filenames
beginning with ‘<samp>.</samp>’ are disallowed (except <samp>.tex</samp> because LaTeX
needs it). When it is set to ‘<samp>p</samp>’ (for “paranoid”) additional
restrictions are imposed: an absolute filename must refer to a file in (a
subdirectory) of <code>TEXMFOUTPUT</code>, and any attempt to go up a directory
level is forbidden (that is, paths may not contain a ‘<samp>..</samp>’ component).
The paranoid setting is the default. (For backwards compatibility, ‘<samp>y</samp>’
and ‘<samp>1</samp>’ are synonyms of ‘<samp>a</samp>’, while ‘<samp>n</samp>’ and ‘<samp>0</samp>’ are
synonyms for ‘<samp>r</samp>’.) The function <code>kpathsea_out_name_ok</code>, with a
filename as second argument, returns <code>true</code> if that filename is
acceptable to be opend for output or <code>false</code> otherwise.
</li><li> <a name="index-kpathsea_005fin_005fname_005fok"></a>
Similarly, the function <code>kpathsea_in_name_ok</code>, with a filename as
second argument, returns <code>true</code> if that filename is acceptable to be
opend for input or <code>false</code> otherwise, depending on the value of the
configuration variable <code>openin_any</code> (with ‘<samp>a</samp>’ as default).
</li><li> <a name="index-kpathsea_005ffinish"></a>
To close the kpathsea library instance you are using, call
<code>kpathsea_finish</code>. This function closes any open log files and
frees the memory used by the instance.

<a name="index-lines_002c-reading-arbitrary_002dlength"></a>
<p>Kpathsea also provides many utility routines. Some are generic: hash
tables, memory allocation, string concatenation and copying, string
lists, reading input lines of arbitrary length, etc. Others are
filename-related: default path, tilde, and variable expansion,
<code>stat</code> calls, etc. (Perhaps someday I’ll move the former to a
separate library.)

<p>The <samp>c-*.h</samp> header files can also help your program adapt to many
different systems. You will almost certainly want to use Autoconf and
probably Automake for configuring and building your software if you use
Kpathsea; I strongly recommend using Autoconf and Automake regardless.
They are available from <a href="http://www.gnu.org/software">http://www.gnu.org/software</a>.

<h3 class="section">7.3 Program-specific files</h3>
<p>Many programs will need to find some configuration files. Kpathsea
contains some support to make it easy to place them in their own
directories. The Standard TeX directory structure (see <a href="tds.html#Top">Introduction</a> in <cite>A Directory Structure for TeX files</cite>), specifies
that such files should go into a subdirectory named after the program,
like ‘<samp>texmf/ttf2pk</samp>’.
</p>
<p>Two formats, ‘<samp>kpse_program_text_format</samp>’ and
‘<samp>kpse_program_binary_format</samp>’, use <code>.:$TEXMF/<var>program</var>//</code>
as their compiled-in search path. To override this default, you can
use the variable <code><var>PROGRAM</var>INPUTS</code> in the environment and/or
‘<samp>texmf.cnf</samp>’. That is to say, the name of the variable is
constructed by converting the name of the program to upper case, and
appending <code>INPUTS</code>.
</p>
<p>The only difference between these two formats is whether
<code>kpathsea_open_file</code> will open the files it finds in text or binary
mode.

<a name="index-config-files_002c-programming-with"></a>
<p>You can (and probably should) use the same <code>texmf.cnf</code>
configuration file that Kpathsea uses for your program. This helps
installers by keeping all configuration in one place.

<a name="index-variable_002eh"></a>
<a name="index-shell_005fescape_002c-example-for-code"></a>
<p>To retrieve a value <var>var</var> from config files, the best way is to call
<code>kpathsea_var_value</code> on the string <code><var>var</var></code>. This will look
first for an environment variable <var>var</var>, then a config file value.
The result will be the value found or ‘<samp>NULL</samp>’. This function is
declared in <samp>kpathsea/variable.h</samp>. For an example, see the
<code>shell_escape</code> code in <samp>web2c/lib/texmfmp.c</samp>.
</p>
<p>The routine to do variable expansion in the context of a search path (as
opposed to simply retrieving a value) is <code>kpathsea_var_expand</code>, also
declared in <samp>kpathsea/variable.h</samp>. It’s generally only necessary
to set the search path structure components as explained in the previous
section, rather than using this yourself.
</p>
<a name="index-kpathsea_005fcnf_005fget"></a>
<a name="index-cnf_002eh"></a>
<p>If for some reason you want to retrieve a value <em>only</em> from a
config file, not automatically looking for a corresponding environment
variable, call <code>kpathsea_cnf_get</code> (declared in <samp>kpathsea/cnf.h</samp>)
with the string <var>var</var>.
</p>
<p>No initialization calls are needed.

<h3 class="section">8.1 Bug checklist</h3>
<a name="index-checklist-for-bug-reports"></a>
<a name="index-bug-checklist"></a>
<p>Before reporting a bug, please check below to be sure it isn’t already
known (see <a href="#Common-problems">Common problems</a>).
</p>
<p>Bug reports should be sent via electronic mail to
<a href="mailto:tex-k@tug.org">tex-k@tug.org</a>.
</p>
<p>The general principle is that a good bug report includes all the
information necessary for reproduction. Therefore, to enable
investigation, your report should include the following:
</p>
<ul>
<li> <a name="index-version-numbers_002c-determining"></a>
The version number(s) of the program(s) involved, and of Kpathsea
itself. You can get the former by giving a sole option ‘<samp>--version</samp>’
to the program, and the latter by running ‘<samp>kpsewhich --version</samp>’.
The <samp>NEWS</samp> and <samp>ChangeLog</samp> files also contain the version
number.
</li><li> <a name="index-uname"></a>
The hardware, operating system (including version), compiler, and
<code>make</code> program you are using (the output of <code>uname -a</code> is a
start on the first two, though incomplete).
</li><li> <a name="index-config_002elog"></a>
Any options you gave to <code>configure</code>. This is recorded in the
<samp>config.status</samp> files.
<a name="index-configuration-bugs"></a>
<a name="index-config_002estatus"></a>
<p>If you are reporting a bug in ‘<samp>configure</samp>’ itself, it’s probably
system-dependent, and it will be unlikely the maintainers can do
anything useful if you merely report that thus-and-such is broken.
Therefore, you need to do some additional work: for some bugs, you can
look in the file <samp>config.log</samp> where the test that failed should
appear, along with the compiler invocation and source program in
question. You can then compile it yourself by hand, and discover why
the test failed. Other ‘<samp>configure</samp>’ bugs do not involve the
compiler; in that case, the only recourse is to inspect the
<code>configure</code> shell script itself, or the Autoconf macros that
generated <code>configure</code>.
</p>
</li><li> The log of all debugging output, if the bug is in path searching. You
can get this by setting the environment variable <code>KPATHSEA_DEBUG</code>
to ‘<samp>-1</samp>’ before running the program. Please look at the log
yourself to make sure the behavior is really a bug before reporting it;
perhaps “old” environment variable settings are causing files not to
be found, for example.
</li><li> The contents of any input files necessary to reproduce the bug. For
bugs in DVI-reading programs, for example, this generally means a DVI
file (and any EPS or other files it uses)—TeX source files are
helpful, but the DVI file is required, because that’s the actual
program input.
</li><li> <a name="index-context-diff"></a>
<a name="index-sending-patches"></a>
<a name="index-ChangeLog-entry"></a>
If you are sending a patch (do so if you can!), please do so in the form
of a context diff (‘<samp>diff -c</samp>’) against the original distribution
source. Any other form of diff is either not as complete or harder for
me to understand. Please also include a <samp>ChangeLog</samp> entry.
</li><li> <a name="index-stack-trace"></a>
<a name="index-debugger"></a>
<a name="index-crashes_002c-reporting"></a>
<a name="index-core-dumps_002c-reporting"></a>
<a name="index-null-pointers_002c-dereferencing"></a>
<a name="index-gdb_002c-recommended"></a>
If the bug involved is an actual crash (i.e., core dump), it is easy
and useful to include a stack trace from a debugger (I recommend the
GNU debugger GDB (<a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb">http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb</a>). If the
cause is apparent (a <code>NULL</code> value being dereferenced, for
example), please send the details along. If the program involved is
TeX or Metafont, and the crash is happening at apparently-sound
code, however, the bug may well be in the compiler, rather than in the
program or the library (see <a href="#TeX-or-Metafont-failing">TeX or
Metafont failing</a>).
</li><li> Any additional information that will be helpful in reproducing,
diagnosing, or fixing the bug.

<h3 class="section">8.3 Debugging</h3>

<a name="index-options-for-debugging"></a>
<a name="index-kpse_002d_003edebug"></a>
<a name="index-debug_002eh"></a>
<p>Kpathsea provides a number of runtime debugging options, detailed below
by their names and corresponding numeric values. When the files you
expect aren’t being found, the thing to do is enable these options and
examine the output.
</p>
<p>You can set these with some runtime argument (e.g., ‘<samp>-d</samp>’) to the
program; in that case, you should use the numeric values described in
the program’s documentation (which, for Dvipsk and Xdvik, are different
than those below). It’s best to give the ‘<samp>-d</samp>’ (or whatever) option
first, for maximal output. Dvipsk and Xdvik have additional
program-specific debugging options as well.
</p>
<a name="index-KPATHSEA_005fDEBUG-1"></a>
<a name="index-kpse_002d_003edebug-1"></a>
<p>You can also set the environment variable <code>KPATHSEA_DEBUG</code>; in this
case, you should use the numbers below. If you run the program under a
debugger and set the instance variable <code>kpse->debug</code>, also use the numbers
below.
</p>
<a name="index-_002d1-debugging-value"></a>
<p>In any case, by far the simplest value to use is ‘<samp>-1</samp>’, which will
turn on all debugging output. This is usually better than guessing
which particular values will yield the output you need.
</p>
<a name="index-debugging-output"></a>
<a name="index-standard-error-and-debugging-output"></a>
<p>Debugging output always goes to standard error, so you can redirect it
easily. For example, in Bourne-compatible shells:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">dvips -d -1 … 2>/tmp/debug
</pre></div>
<a name="index-Kpsewhich_002c-and-debugging"></a>
<p>It is sometimes helpful to run the standalone Kpsewhich utility
(see <a href="#Invoking-kpsewhich">Invoking kpsewhich</a>), instead of the original program.
</p>
<a name="index-numeric-debugging-values"></a>
<p>In any case, you cannot use the names below; you must always use
somebody’s numbers. (Sorry.) To set more than one option, just sum
the corresponding numbers.
</p>

<dd><p>Report ‘<samp>stat</samp>’(2) calls. This is useful for verifying that your

<a name="index-usage-patterns_002c-finding"></a>
<a name="index-disk-usage_002c-reducing"></a>
<p>Kpathsea can record the time and filename found for each successful
search. This may be useful in finding good candidates for deletion when
your filesystem is full, or in discovering usage patterns
at your site.
</p>
<a name="index-TEXMFLOG"></a>
<p>To do this, define the environment or config file variable
<code>TEXMFLOG</code>. The value is the name of the file to append the
information to. The file is created if it doesn’t exist, and appended
to if it does.
</p>
<a name="index-epoch_002c-seconds-since"></a>
<a name="index-time-system-call"></a>
<p>Each successful search turns into one line in the log file: two words
separated by a space. The first word is the time of the search, as the
integer number of seconds since “the epoch”, i.e., UTC midnight 1
January 1970 (more precisely, the result of the <code>time</code> system
call). The second word is the filename.
</p>
<p>For example, after <code>setenv TEXMFLOG /tmp/log</code>, running Dvips on
<samp>story.dvi</samp> appends the following lines:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">774455887 /usr/local/share/texmf/dvips/config.ps
774455887 /usr/local/share/texmf/dvips/psfonts.map

774455889 /usr/local/share/texmf/dvips/texc.pro
</pre></div>
<a name="index-privacy_002c-semblance-of"></a>
<p>Only filenames that are absolute are recorded, to preserve
some semblance of privacy.
</p>
<p>In addition to this Kpathsea-specific logging, <code>pdftex</code>
provides an option <samp>-recorder</samp> to write the names of all files
accessed during a run to the file <samp><var>basefile</var>.fls</samp>.
</p>
<p>Finally, most systems provide a general tool to output each system
call, thus including opening and closing files. It might be named
<code>strace</code>, <code>truss</code>, <code>struss</code>, or something
else.

<a name="index-unable-to-find-files"></a>
<a name="index-files_002c-unable-to-find"></a>
<p>If a program complains it cannot find fonts (or other input files), any
of several things might be wrong. In any case, you may find the
debugging options helpful. See <a href="#Debugging">Debugging</a>.
</p>
<ul>
<li> Perhaps you simply haven’t installed all the necessary files; the basic
fonts and input files are distributed separately from the programs.
See <a href="#unixtex_002eftp">unixtex.ftp</a>.
</li><li> <a name="index-_002fetc_002fprofile"></a>
<a name="index-environment-variables_002c-old"></a>
You have (perhaps unknowingly) told Kpathsea to use search paths that
don’t reflect where the files actually are. One common cause is having
environment variables set from a previous installation, thus overriding
what you carefully set in <samp>texmf.cnf</samp> (see <a href="#Supported-file-formats">Supported file formats</a>). System <samp>/etc/profile</samp> or other files such may be the
culprit.
</li><li> <a name="index-symbolic-links-not-found"></a>
<a name="index-leaf-directories-wrongly-guessed"></a>
Your files reside in a directory that is only pointed to via a symbolic
link, in a leaf directory and is not listed in <samp>ls-R</samp>.
<p>Unfortunately, Kpathsea’s subdirectory searching has an irremediable
deficiency: If a directory <var>d</var> being searched for subdirectories
contains plain files and symbolic links to other directories, but no
true subdirectories, <var>d</var> will be considered a leaf directory, i.e.,
the symbolic links will not be followed. See <a href="#Subdirectory-expansion">Subdirectory expansion</a>.
</p>
<p>You can work around this problem by creating an empty dummy subdirectory
in <var>d</var>. Then <var>d</var> will no longer be a leaf, and the symlinks will
be followed.
</p>
<p>The directory immediately followed by the ‘<samp>//</samp>’ in the path
specification, however, is always searched for subdirectories, even if
it is a leaf. Presumably you would not have asked for the directory to
be searched for subdirectories if you didn’t want it to be.
</p>
</li><li> If the fonts (or whatever) don’t already exist, <code>mktexpk</code> (or
<code>mktexmf</code> or <code>mktextfm</code>) will try to create them. If
these rather complicated shell scripts fail, you’ll eventually get an
error message saying something like ‘<samp>Can't find font
<var>fontname</var></samp>’. The best solution is to fix (or at least report) the
bug in <code>mktexpk</code>; the workaround is to generate the necessary
fonts by hand with Metafont, or to grab them from a CTAN site
(see <a href="#unixtex_002eftp">unixtex.ftp</a>).
</li><li> There is a bug in the library. See <a href="#Reporting-bugs">Reporting bugs</a>.

<a name="index-startup-time_002c-excessive"></a>
<p>If your program takes an excessively long time to find fonts or other
input files, but does eventually succeed, here are some possible culprits:
</p>
<ul>
<li> Most likely, you just have a lot of directories to search, and that
takes a noticeable time. The solution is to create and maintain a
separate <samp>ls-R</samp> file that lists all the files in your main TeX
hierarchy. See <a href="#Filename-database">Filename database</a>. Kpathsea always uses <samp>ls-R</samp>
if it’s present; there’s no need to recompile or reconfigure any of the
programs.
</li><li> Your recursively-searched directories (e.g.,
<samp>/usr/local/share/texmf/fonts//</samp>), contain a mixture of files and
directories. This prevents Kpathsea from using a useful optimization
(see <a href="#Subdirectory-expansion">Subdirectory expansion</a>).
<p>It is best to have only directories (and perhaps a <samp>README</samp>) in the
upper levels of the directory structure, and it’s very important to have
<em>only</em> files, and no subdirectories, in the leaf directories where
the dozens of TFM, PK, or whatever files reside.
</p></li></ul>
<p>In any case, you may find the debugging options helpful in determining
precisely when the disk or network is being pounded. See <a href="#Debugging">Debugging</a>.

<h4 class="subsection">8.5.3 Unable to generate fonts</h4>
<a name="index-unable-to-generate-fonts"></a>
<a name="index-font-generation-failures"></a>
<p>Metafont outputs fonts in bitmap format, tuned for a particular
device at a particular resolution, in order to allow for the
highest-possible quality of output. Some DVI-to-whatever programs,
such as Dvips, try to generate these on the fly when they are needed,
but this generation may fail in several cases.
</p>
<a name="index-mktexpk-can_0027t-guess-mode"></a>
<p>If <code>mktexpk</code> runs, but fails with this error:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">mktexpk: Can't guess mode for <var>nnn</var> dpi devices.
mktexpk: Use a config file to specify the mode, or update me.
</pre></div>
<p>you need to ensure the resolution and mode match; just
specifying the resolution, as in <code>-D 360</code>, is not enough.
</p>
<p>You can specify the mode name with the <code>-mode</code> option on the
Dvips command line, or in a Dvips configuration file (see <a href="dvips.html#Config-files">Config
files</a> in <cite>Dvips</cite>), such as <samp>config.ps</samp> in your document
directory, <samp>~/.dvipsrc</samp> in your home directory, or in a system
directory (again named <samp>config.ps</samp>). (Other drivers use other
files, naturally.)
</p>
<p>For example, if you need 360dpi fonts, you could include this in
a configuration file:
</p><div class="example">
<pre class="example">D 360
M lqmed
</pre></div>
<a name="index-Metafont-using-the-wrong-device"></a>
<a name="index-device_002c-wrong"></a>
<p>If Metafont runs, but generates fonts at the wrong resolution or for
the wrong device, most likely <code>mktexpk</code>’s built-in guess for the
mode is wrong, and you should override it as above.
</p>
<p>See <a href="http://ctan.org/pkg/modes">http://ctan.org/pkg/modes</a> for a list of resolutions and mode
names for most devices (additional submissions are welcome).

<a name="index-proof-mode"></a>
<a name="index-online-Metafont-display_002c-spurious"></a>
<p>If Metafont runs but generates fonts at a resolution of 2602dpi
(and prints out the name of each character as well as just a character
number, and maybe tries to display the characters), then your Metafont
base file probably hasn’t been made properly. (It’s using the default
<code>proof</code> mode, instead of an actual device mode.) To make a proper
<samp>plain.base</samp>, assuming the local mode definitions are contained in
a file <samp>modes.mf</samp>, run the following command (assuming Unix):
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">inimf "plain; input modes; dump"
</pre></div>
<a name="index-plain_002ebase"></a>
<p>Then copy the <samp>plain.base</samp> file from the current directory to where
the base files are stored on your system
(<samp>/usr/local/share/texmf/web2c</samp> by default), and make a link
(either hard or soft) from <samp>plain.base</samp> to <samp>mf.base</samp> in that
directory.
See <a href="web2c.html#inimf-invocation">inimf invocation</a> in <cite>Web2c</cite>.
</p>
<a name="index-Metafont-installation"></a>
<p>If <code>mf</code> is a command not found at all by <code>mktexpk</code>, then you
need to install Metafont (see <a href="#unixtex_002eftp">unixtex.ftp</a>).

<h4 class="subsection">8.5.4 TeX or Metafont failing</h4>
<a name="index-TeX-failures"></a>
<a name="index-Metafont-failures"></a>
<a name="index-compiler-bugs"></a>
<p>If TeX or Metafont get a segmentation fault or otherwise fail while
running a normal input file, the problem is usually a compiler bug
(unlikely as that may sound). Even if the trip and trap tests are
passed, problems may lurk. Optimization occasionally causes trouble in
programs other than TeX and Metafont themselves, too.
</p>
<p>Insufficient swap space may also cause core dumps or other erratic
behavior.
</p>
<a name="index-optimization-caveat"></a>
<p>For a workaround, if you enabled any optimization flags, it’s best to
omit optimization entirely. In any case, the way to find the facts is
to run the program under the debugger and see where it’s failing.
</p>
<a name="index-GNU-C-compiler-bugs"></a>
<a name="index-system-C-compiler-bugs"></a>
<p>Also, if you have trouble with a system C compiler, I advise trying the
GNU C compiler. And vice versa, unfortunately; but in that case I also
recommend reporting a bug to the GCC mailing list; see <a href="http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Bugs.html#Bugs">Bugs</a> in <cite>Using and Porting GNU CC</cite>.
</p>
<a name="index-compiler-bugs_002c-finding"></a>
<p>To report compiler bugs effectively requires perseverance and
perspicacity: you must find the miscompiled line, and that usually
involves delving backwards in time from the point of error, checking
through TeX’s (or whatever program’s) data structures. Things are
not helped by all-too-common bugs in the debugger itself. Good luck.
