# pdftex-quiet
This is a tool in BASH serving to reduce the output of `pdftex` command and see only relevant errors in red bold font to fight them ASAP.
Originally, I've started this as [the TeX StackExchange answer](https://tex.stackexchange.com/a/459470/134632).
Now, it's being proposed as a CTAN package called also `pdftex-quiet`.
## Installation
Download this repository:
```bash
git clone https://gitlab.jkozlovsky.cz/productivity/pdftex-quiet.git
cd pdftex-quiet
```
Simply copy the bash script to your `$PATH`:
```bash
cp bin/pdftex-quiet /usr/local/bin/
chmod +x /usr/local/bin/pdftex-quiet
# Make sure we support also pdflatex-quiet command (pdflatex is also a symlink to pdftex command)
ln -sf /usr/local/bin/pdftex-quiet /usr/local/bin/pdflatex-quiet
```
## Usage
Usage is the same as with `pdftex` (it supports all the arguments except [COMMANDS], **but the filename is mandatory!**).
```bash
# Keep in mind that the last argument should always be the filename to compile
# and it's mandatory! (unless you only want to print a help)
pdftex-quiet --output-format dvi --output-directory=/tmp my_tex_source.tex
# Print help
pdftex-quiet --help
# But most probably you simply want to run the pdftex without modifications:
pdftex-quiet my_tex_source.tex
```
## Licence
