.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
\&\fBbundledoc\fR is a post-processor for the \fBsnapshot\fR package that
bundles together all the classes, packages, and files needed to build
a given LaTeX document.  It reads the \fI.dep\fR file that \fBsnapshot\fR
produces, finds each of the files mentioned therein, and packages them
into a single archive file (e.g., a \fI.tar.gz\fR file), suitable for
moving across systems, transmitting to a colleague, etc.
.PP
As the simplest example possible, consider a LaTeX file called, say,
\&\fIhello.tex\fR:
.PP
.Vb 2
\&    \eRequirePackage{snapshot}       % Needed by bundledoc
\&    \edocumentclass[11pt]{article}
\&
\&    \ebegin{document}
\&    Hello, world!
\&    \eend{document}
.Ve
.PP
The \f(CW\*(C`\eRequirePackage{snapshot}\*(C'\fR causes a \fIhello.dep\fR file to be produced.
When \fBbundledoc\fR is then given \f(CW\*(C`hello.dep\*(C'\fR as an argument, it locates the
dependent files \*(-- \fIsnapshot.sty\fR, \fIarticle.cls\fR, and \fIsize11.clo\fR \*(--
and bundles them into a single archive file, along with \fIhello.tex\fR and a
\&\fI\s-1MANIFEST\s0\fR file (described in \*(L"\s-1OPTIONS\*(R"\s0, below).
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
In the following descriptions, \fIsomefile\fR refers to the name of your
main LaTeX document (no extension).
.PP
\&\fBbundledoc\fR requires the name of the dependency file produced by
\&\fBsnapshot\fR, normally \fIsomefile\fR\fI.dep\fR).  (For convenience, the file
can be specified without its \fI.dep\fR extension.)  The following
options may also be given:
.IP "\fB\-\-version\fR" 4
.IX Item "--version"
Output the \fBbundledoc\fR script's version number.  This overrides all
of the remaining options.
.IP "\fB\-\-help\fR" 4
.IX Item "--help"
Give a brief usage message.  This overrides all of the remaining options.
.ie n .IP "\fB\-\-\fR[\fBno\fR]\fBverbose\fR                    (default: ""noverbose"")" 4
.el .IP "\fB\-\-\fR[\fBno\fR]\fBverbose\fR                    (default: \f(CWnoverbose\fR)" 4
.IX Item "--[no]verbose (default: noverbose)"
\&\fBbundledoc\fR normally does not output anything except error messages.
With \f(CW\*(C`\-\-verbose\*(C'\fR, it outputs copious status messages.
.IP "\fB\-\-texfile\fR=\fImain .tex file\fR            (default: \fIsomefile\fR\fI.tex\fR)" 4
.IX Item "--texfile=main .tex file (default: somefile.tex)"
\&\fBsnapshot\fR's dependency file does not list the main LaTeX file (the
one that gets passed to \fBlatex\fR).  In order for \fBbundledoc\fR to find
and bundle that file, \fBbundledoc\fR assumes it has the same name as the
\&\fBsnapshot\fR dependency file but with a \fI.tex\fR extension.  If this is
not the case, then use \f(CW\*(C`\-\-texfile\*(C'\fR to specify the correct filename.
.IP "\fB\-\-directory\fR=\fIarchive directory\fR       (default: \fIsomefile\fR)" 4
.IX Item "--directory=archive directory (default: somefile)"
When \fBbundledoc\fR creates an archive (e.g., a \fI.tar\fR or \fI.zip\fR file)
containing the document's files, it puts all of them in a directory to
avoid cluttering the current directory with files.  If the given
dependency file is called \fIsomefile\fR\fI.dep\fR then the resulting
archive will, by default, store all the dependent files in a
\&\fIsomefile\fR directory.  To change the directory name use the
\&\f(CW\*(C`\-\-directory\*(C'\fR option.
.ie n .IP "\fB\-\-\fR[\fBno\fR]\fBlocalonly\fR                  (default: ""nolocalonly"")" 4
.el .IP "\fB\-\-\fR[\fBno\fR]\fBlocalonly\fR                  (default: \f(CWnolocalonly\fR)" 4
.IX Item "--[no]localonly (default: nolocalonly)"
Although \fBbundledoc\fR normally archives all of the files named in the
\&\fI.dep\fR file, the \f(CW\*(C`\-\-localonly\*(C'\fR option tells \fBbundledoc\fR to exclude
all files located in a directory other than the \fI.tex\fR file's
directory or one of its subdirectories.
.IP "\fB\-\-exclude\fR=\fIstring\fR                    (default: \fInone\fR)" 4
.IX Item "--exclude=string (default: none)"
While \f(CW\*(C`\-\-localonly\*(C'\fR causes files outside of the \fI.tex\fR file's
directory tree to be omitted from the archive, \f(CW\*(C`\-\-exclude\*(C'\fR provides
finer-grained control over files to omit from the archive.  The
\&\f(CW\*(C`\-\-exclude\*(C'\fR option, which can be specified repeatedly on the command
line, causes all files whose name contains \fIstring\fR to be omitted
from the archive.
.IP "\fB\-\-include\fR=\fIfilespec\fR                  (default: \fInone\fR)" 4
.IX Item "--include=filespec (default: none)"
The \f(CW\*(C`\-\-include\*(C'\fR option, which can be specified repeatedly on the
command line, instructs \fBbundledoc\fR to include in the archive all of
the files matching \fIfilespec\fR, even if they're not referenced in the
\&\fI.dep\fR file.
.IP "\fB\-\-manifest\fR=\fImanifest file\fR            (default: \fI\s-1MANIFEST\s0\fR)" 4
.IX Item "--manifest=manifest file (default: MANIFEST)"
In addition to the dependent files, \fBbundledoc\fR includes in the
archive file one extra file called, by default, ``\fI\s-1MANIFEST\s0\fR''.
\&\fI\s-1MANIFEST\s0\fR is a text file that lists the original filenames of all
the dependencies.  To change the filename from ``\fI\s-1MANIFEST\s0\fR'' to
something else, use the \f(CW\*(C`\-\-manifest\*(C'\fR option.  As a special case,
\&\f(CW\*(C`\-\-manifest=""\*(C'\fR tells \fBbundledoc\fR not to include a manifest file at
all.
.ie n .IP "\fB\-\-listdeps\fR=[yes|no|only|rel]...]       (default: ""no"")" 4
.el .IP "\fB\-\-listdeps\fR=[yes|no|only|rel]...]       (default: \f(CWno\fR)" 4
.IX Item "--listdeps=[yes|no|only|rel]...] (default: no)"
\&\f(CW\*(C`\-\-listdeps\*(C'\fR accepts one or more of \f(CW\*(C`yes\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`no\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`only\*(C'\fR, or \f(CW\*(C`rel\*(C'\fR
as a comma-separated list.  As long as \f(CW\*(C`no\*(C'\fR does not appear in this
list, \fBbundledoc\fR outputs all of the main LaTeX file's dependencies.
If the list contains \f(CW\*(C`rel\*(C'\fR, then \fBbundledoc\fR outputs the list of
dependencies with relative pathnames.  If the list contains \f(CW\*(C`only\*(C'\fR,
then \fBbundledoc\fR exits after displaying the list, without producing
an archive.
.ie n .IP "\fB\-\-\fR[\fBno\fR]\fBkeepdirs\fR                   (default: ""nokeepdirs"")" 4
.el .IP "\fB\-\-\fR[\fBno\fR]\fBkeepdirs\fR                   (default: \f(CWnokeepdirs\fR)" 4
.IX Item "--[no]keepdirs (default: nokeepdirs)"
Normally, the archive file that \fBbundledoc\fR produces contains a
single directory \*(-- and subdirectories, if the document refers
explicitly to them \*(-- in which all the dependent files lie.  If
\&\f(CW\*(C`\-\-keepdirs\*(C'\fR is specified, all the dependent files are stored with
their original pathnames.  For example, if \fIsomefile.tex\fR depends on
\&\fIfigures/somefigure.eps\fR, \fIarticle.cls\fR, and \fIsnapshot.sty\fR, then
the \fIsomefile\fR archive will normally contain the following files:
.RS 4
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\fIsomefile/somefile.tex\fR
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\fIsomefile/figures/somefigure.eps\fR
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\fIsomefile/article.cls\fR
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\fIsomefile/snapshot.sty\fR
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\fIsomefile/MANIFEST\fR
.RE
.RS 4
.Sp
However, \f(CW\*(C`\-\-keepdirs\*(C'\fR will cause the \fIsomefile\fR archive to contain
the following sorts of filenames instead:
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\fIhome/me/mydocs/somefile.tex\fR
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\fIhome/me/mydocs/figures/somefigure.eps\fR
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\fIusr/share/texmf/tex/latex/base/article.cls\fR
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\fIusr/share/texmf/tex/latex/snapshot/snapshot.sty\fR
.RE
.RS 4
.Sp
\&\f(CW\*(C`\-\-directory\*(C'\fR is not used when \f(CW\*(C`\-\-keepdirs\*(C'\fR is in effect.  In
addition, no manifest file is written to the archive file as it
contains redundant information.
.RE
.IP "\fB\-\-config\fR=\fIconfiguration file\fR         (default: <none>)" 4
.IX Item "--config=configuration file (default: <none>)"
The \f(CW\*(C`\-\-config\*(C'\fR option is used to point \fBbundledoc\fR to the
appropriate configuration (\fI.cfg\fR) file for your TeX distribution and
operating system.  \fBbundledoc\fR comes with a few configuration files
and it's easy to write more.  See \*(L"\s-1CONFIGURATION FILES\*(R"\s0 (below) for
a description of the configuration file format.  For convenience, the
file can be specified without its \fI.cfg\fR extension.
.SH "CONFIGURATION FILES"
.IX Header "CONFIGURATION FILES"
.SS "Format"
.IX Subsection "Format"
Configuration files follow a fairly simple format.  Lines beginning with
\&\f(CW\*(C`#\*(C'\fR are comments.  Blank lines are ignored.  All other lines are of the
form:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    variable: value
.Ve
.PP
The current version of \fBbundledoc\fR recognizes the following variables:
.IP "\fBbundle\fR" 4
.IX Item "bundle"
The command to use to bundle a set of files into a single archive file
.IP "\fBsink\fR" 4
.IX Item "sink"
The affix to a command to discard its output
.IP "\fBfind\fR" 4
.IX Item "find"
The command to find a file within the TeX tree(s).
.PP
Values that are too long for one line can be split across multiple lines
by using \f(CW\*(C`\e\*(C'\fR as the line-continuation symbol.
.PP
There are two environment variables that \fBbundledoc\fR makes available
for use by configuration-file commands: \f(CW\*(C`BDBASE\*(C'\fR, which is set to
\&\fIsomefile\fR (as in \*(L"\s-1OPTIONS\*(R"\s0), and \f(CW\*(C`BDINPUTS\*(C'\fR, which is set to a
space-separated list of files that a command is to operate upon.  That
is, when the command associated with \f(CW\*(C`bundle\*(C'\fR is running, \f(CW\*(C`BDINPUTS\*(C'\fR
contains the list of all the files that are to be archived.  In
contrast, when the command associated with \f(CW\*(C`find\*(C'\fR is running,
\&\f(CW\*(C`BDINPUTS\*(C'\fR contains the name of the file to search for.
.SS "Examples"
.IX Subsection "Examples"
The following configuration file parallels \fBbundledoc\fR's default
values of the various configuration-file variables, which represents a
kpathsea-based TeX distribution running on a generic Unix system,
which doesn't necessarily have any of the \s-1GNU\s0 tools, such as \fBgzip\fR
or \s-1GNU\s0 \fBtar\fR:
.PP
.Vb 2
\&    # "Default" configuration file
\&    # By Scott Pakin <scott+bdoc@pakin.org>
\&
\&    bundle: (tar \-cvf \- $BDINPUTS | compress > $BDBASE.tar.Z)
\&    sink:   > /dev/null 2>&1
\&    find:   kpsewhich \-progname=latex $BDINPUTS
.Ve
.PP
The parentheses in the \f(CW\*(C`bundle:\*(C'\fR line tell the Unix shell to run the
command in a subshell.  This is to make the \f(CW\*(C`sink:\*(C'\fR affix work
properly (i.e., so there aren't two \f(CW\*(C`>\*(C'\fR's in the same command).
.PP
Notice how the commands treat \f(CW\*(C`BDBASE\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`BDINPUTS\*(C'\fR like any other
environment variables in a Unix shell, using \f(CW\*(C`$\*(C'\fR to take their value.
Other operating systems use different conventions for referring to
environment variables.  For instance, a configuration file for a
Windows-based TeX distribution would use \f(CW\*(C`%BDBASE%\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`%BDINPUTS%\*(C'\fR
instead.
.PP
The value for \f(CW\*(C`sink:\*(C'\fR is specific to an operating system.  The value
for \f(CW\*(C`find:\*(C'\fR is specific to a TeX distribution.  \f(CW\*(C`bundle:\*(C'\fR is where
the most opportunity for customization lies.  You can use \f(CW\*(C`bundle:\*(C'\fR
to specify your favorite archive format.  For example, you can produce
a shar file on Unix with something like:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    bundle: (shar \-\-archive\-name="$BDBASE" $BDINPUTS > $BDBASE.sh)
.Ve
.PP
or a \s-1CAB\s0 file on Microsoft Windows with something like:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    bundle: cabarc \-r \-p N %BDBASE%.cab %BDINPUTS%
.Ve
.SH "EXAMPLES"
.IX Header "EXAMPLES"
Assume that \fImyfile.dep\fR was produced from \fImyfile.tex\fR by following
the instructions in the Description section.  The
following command produces a \fI.zip\fR file with the MikTeX TeX
distribution running on Microsoft Windows:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    bundledoc \-\-config=miktex.cfg myfile.dep
.Ve
.PP
This can be abbreviated to
.PP
.Vb 1

The following builds a \fI.tar.gz\fR archive with the TeX Live
distribution running on a Unix-like operating system.  \fBbundledoc\fR
will produce verbose output describing its operations.  All files not
in the same directory tree as \fImyfile.tex\fR and all files containing
\&\*(L".fd\*(R" or \*(L".sty\*(R" in their names are omitted.  However, all \fI.bib\fR
files in the current directory will be included in the archive even
though none of them are referenced by \fImyfile.dep\fR.  Finally, no
\&\fI\s-1MANIFEST\s0\fR file will be produced.

.SH "FILES"
.IX Header "FILES"
The user must have previously installed \fIsnapshot.sty\fR and used it to
produce a dependency file for his document.  Besides that, the set of
external files needed by \fBbundledoc\fR is system-specific and depends on the
configuration file used.  (See \*(L"\s-1CONFIGURATION FILES\*(R"\s0, above.)
.PP
\&\fBbundledoc\fR currently comes with two configuration files:
.IP "\fItexlive\-unix.cfg\fR" 4
.IX Item "texlive-unix.cfg"
Configuration file for TeX Live installations on Unix or Linux.  TeX
Live is a kpathsea-based TeX distribution that runs on various flavors
of Unix and Microsoft Windows.  \fItexlive\-unix.cfg\fR assumes you have
\&\fBgzip\fR and uses it to produce a \fI.tar.gz\fR archive file.  The
configuration file has \fBbundledoc\fR use \fBkpsewhich\fR to find LaTeX
files.
.IP "\fImiktex.cfg\fR" 4
.IX Item "miktex.cfg"
Configuration file for MikTeX installations.  MikTeX is a popular TeX
distribution for Microsoft Windows.  \fImiktex.cfg\fR assumes you have
\&\fBzip\fR and uses it to produce a \fI.zip\fR archive file.  The
configuration file now has \fBbundledoc\fR use \fBkpsewhich\fR to find LaTeX
files; older version of MikTeX required the rather nonstandard
\&\fBinitexmf\fR for this purpose.
.IP "\fItexlive\-unix\-arlatex.cfg\fR" 4
.IX Item "texlive-unix-arlatex.cfg"
This is a variant of \fItexlive\-unix.cfg\fR that uses \fBarlatex\fR instead
of \fBgzip\fR to archive files.  \fBarlatex\fR is a script included in the
\&\fBbundledoc\fR distribution that generates a self-extracting \fI.tex\fR
file based on LaTeX's \f(CW\*(C`filecontents\*(C'\fR environment.
.SH "NOTES"
.IX Header "NOTES"
.SS "Including and excluding files"
.IX Subsection "Including and excluding files"
The \f(CW\*(C`\-\-localonly\*(C'\fR, \f(CW\*(C`\-\-exclude\*(C'\fR, and \f(CW\*(C`\-\-include\*(C'\fR options provide
control over the archive's contents.  \f(CW\*(C`\-\-exclude\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`\-\-include\*(C'\fR
can be specified repeatedly on the command line.  The order in which
these options are specified is immaterial; \fBbundledoc\fR processes file
inclusions and exclusions in the following order:
.IP "1." 4
All files referenced by the \fI.dep\fR file are added to the list of
files to archive.
.IP "2." 4
If \f(CW\*(C`\-\-localonly\*(C'\fR is specified, all files not found in the \fI.tex\fR
file's directory are removed from the list.
.IP "3." 4
For each \f(CW\*(C`\-\-exclude\*(C'\fR string specified, all files containing that
string are removed from the list.
.IP "4." 4
For each \f(CW\*(C`\-\-include\*(C'\fR file specification, the set of files designated
by its expansion are added to the list.
.SS "Issues When Running Under Microsoft Windows"
.IX Subsection "Issues When Running Under Microsoft Windows"
First, because \fBbundledoc\fR is a Perl script, you should do one of the
following to run it under Windows:
.IP "\(bu" 4
\&\f(CW\*(C`perl bundledoc\*(C'\fR
.IP "\(bu" 4
Rename \fIbundledoc\fR to \fIbundledoc.pl\fR and run \f(CW\*(C`bundledoc.pl\*(C'\fR.  (This
is assuming you have a file association set up for \fI.pl\fR.)
.IP "\(bu" 4
Run the \fBpl2bat\fR script (if you have it) to convert \fIbundledoc\fR to
\&\fIbundledoc.bat\fR, then run \f(CW\*(C`bundledoc\*(C'\fR.
.PP
Second, Windows uses a multi-rooted filesystem (i.e., multiple drive
letters).  I wouldn't be surprised if bad things were to happen if the
files to be bundled are scattered across drives.  In addition, Windows
supports ``\s-1UNC\s0'' filenames, which have no drive letter at all, just a
machine and share name.  \s-1UNC\s0 filenames are also untested waters for
\&\fBbundledoc\fR.  Be careful!
.SS "Testing Status"
.IX Subsection "Testing Status"
I have tested \fBbundledoc\fR only with Perl v5.6.0 and later and only on
the following platforms:
.IP "\(bu" 4
Linux + TeX Live
.IP "\(bu" 4
Linux + teTeX
.IP "\(bu" 4
Windows \s-1NT +\s0 MiKTeX
.IP "\(bu" 4
Solaris + ??? (something kpathsea-based)
.PP
It is my hope that \fBbundledoc\fR works on many more platforms than
those.  I tried to make the program itself fairly independent of the
operating system; only the configuration files should have to change
to run \fBbundledoc\fR on a different system.
.SS "Future Work"
.IX Subsection "Future Work"
I'd like \fBbundledoc\fR to work on as wide a variety of TeX
distributions as possible.  If your platform is significantly
different from the ones listed in \*(L"Testing Status\*(R" (e.g., if you're
running \s-1OS\s0\ X) and you need to create a substantially different
configuration file from \fItexlive\-unix.cfg\fR and \fImiktex.cfg\fR, please
send it to me at the address listed in \*(L"\s-1AUTHOR\*(R"\s0 so I can include it
in a future version of \fBbundledoc\fR.  (I make no promises, though).
.PP
Once \fBbundledoc\fR works on all the major operating systems and TeX
distributions it would be really convenient if I could get
\&\fBbundledoc\fR to detect the platform it's running on and automatically
select an appropriate configuration file.
.PP
Finally, it would be handy for \fBbundledoc\fR to include fonts in the
archive file.  At a minimum, it should include \fI.tfm\fR files, but it
would be even better if it included \fI.mf\fR, \fI.pfb\fR, \fI.ttf\fR, and
other common font formats, as well.
