.TH CTXTOOLS "1" "January 2007" "ctxtools 1.3.3" "ConTeXt"

.SH NAME
ctxtools \- clean up temporary ConTeXt files, install latest ConTeXt

.SH "SYNOPSIS" 
\fBctxtools\fP [ \fIOPTION\fP ...  ]

.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBctxtools\fP is useful for dealing with ConTeXt source and generated
files and for installing new versions of ConTeXt.

.SH "OPTIONS" 
.TP 
.B --help
Print the available options.
.TP 
.B --purgefiles
Get rid of many temporary files generated by ConTeXt.  You can give the 
.B --all
option to remove a larger fraction of those files,
and the 
.B --recurse
option to remove these files also in subdirectories.
.TP 
.B --contextversion
Show the date of the ConTeXt macros and the format file.  Useful after
upgrading ConTeXt (perhaps using \fB--updatecontext\fP) to check
whether the new formats and macros are visible to the TeX path
searches (see 
.BR kpsewhich (1).
.TP 
.B --updatecontext
Download the latest ConTeXt distribution and install it in the
TEXMFLOCAL tree (see 
.BR kpsewhich (1)
for information on
TeX path searching).  TEXMFLOCAL usually points to a system-wide
location.  If you want to install the new ConTeXt in your home
directory (i.e. an install for one user), then set the TEXMFLOCAL 
environment variable while running 
.BR ctxtools .  
For example, using the syntax of the Bourne shell 
.BR sh (1):
.EX
TEXMFLOCAL=$HOME/texmf ctxtools --updatecontext
.EE
.TP
.B --documentation
Generate a \fI.ted\fP file from the source file.  See also the
\fB--module\fP option to 
.BR texexec (1).
.TP
\fB--patternfiles\fP [languagecode]
Generate pattern files.  You can also give the 
\fB--all\fP, \fB--xml\fP, and \fB--utf8\fP options.

.SH "ENVIRONMENT"
.TP
TEXMFLOCAL
Used by \f(CW--updatecontext\fP to decide where to install the distribution.
