.TH FMTUTIL "1" "April 2015" "TeX Live" "User Commands"
.SH NAME
fmtutil \- manage TeX formats, Metafont bases and Metapost mems, per-user
.br
fmtutil-sys \- manage TeX formats, Metafont bases and Metapost mems, system-wide
.br
mktexfmt \- create a TeX format, Metafont base, or Metapost mem
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B fmtutil
[\fI\,OPTION\/\fR] ... [\fI\,COMMAND\/\fR]
.br
.B fmtutil-sys
[\fI\,OPTION\/\fR] ... [\fI\,COMMAND\/\fR]
.br
.B mktexfmt
\fI\,FORMAT.fmt|BASE.base|MEM.mem|FMTNAME.EXT\/\fR
.SH DESCRIPTION
fmtutil version svn36788 (2015\-04\-13 00:53:26 +0900)
.PP
Rebuild and manage TeX formats, Metafont bases and MetaPost mems.
.PP
If the command name ends in mktexfmt, only one format can be created.
The only options supported are \fB\-\-help\fR and \fB\-\-version\fR, and the command
line must consist of either a format name, with its extension, or a
plain name that is passed as the argument to \fB\-\-byfmt\fR (see below). The
full name of the generated file (if any) is written to stdout, and
nothing else.
.PP
If not operating in mktexfmt mode, the command line can be more general,
and multiple formats can be generated, as follows.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
\fB\-\-cnffile\fR FILE

all the files are used)

.TP
\fB\-\-no\-engine\-subdir\fR

.TP

.TP
\fB\-\-no\-error\-if\-no\-engine\fR=\fI\,ENGINE1\/\fR,ENGINE2,...

.IP
is missing, if it is included in the list.
.TP

\fB\-\-all\fR
recreate all format files
.TP
\fB\-\-missing\fR

.TP
\fB\-\-disablefmt\fR FORMATNAME

.TP
\fB\-\-listcfg\fR

filtered to available formats
.TP

.SH ENVIRONMENT
.PP
Explanation of trees and files normally used:
.IP
If \fB\-\-cnffile\fR is specified on the command line (possibly multiple
times), its value(s) are used. Otherwise, fmtutil reads all the
fmtutil.cnf files found by running `kpsewhich \fB\-all\fR fmtutil.cnf', in the
order returned by kpsewhich.
.IP
In any case, if multiple fmtutil.cnf files are found, all the format
definitions found in all the fmtutil.cnf files are merged.
.IP
Thus, if fmtutil.cnf files are present in all trees, and the default
layout is used as shipped with TeX Live, the following files are
read, in the given order.
.nf
.IP
For fmtutil\-sys:
TEXMFSYSCONFIG \fI\,$TEXLIVE/YYYY/texmf\-config/web2c/fmtutil.cnf\/\fP
TEXMFSYSVAR \fI\,$TEXLIVE/YYYY/texmf\-var/web2c/fmtutil.cnf\/\fP
TEXMFLOCAL \fI\,$TEXLIVE/texmf\-local/web2c/fmtutil.cnf\/\fP
TEXMFDIST \fI\,$TEXLIVE/YYYY/texmf\-dist/web2c/fmtutil.cnf\/\fP
.IP
For fmtutil:
TEXMFCONFIG $HOME/.texliveYYYY/texmf\-config/web2c/fmtutil.cnf
TEXMFVAR $HOME/.texliveYYYY/texmf\-var/web2c/fmtutil.cnf
TEXMFHOME \fI\,$HOME/texmf/web2c/fmtutil.cnf\/\fP
TEXMFSYSCONFIG \fI\,$TEXLIVE/YYYY/texmf\-config/web2c/fmtutil.cnf\/\fP
TEXMFSYSVAR \fI\,$TEXLIVE/YYYY/texmf\-var/web2c/fmtutil.cnf\/\fP
TEXMFLOCAL \fI\,$TEXLIVE/texmf\-local/web2c/fmtutil.cnf\/\fP
TEXMFDIST \fI\,$TEXLIVE/YYYY/texmf\-dist/web2c/fmtutil.cnf\/\fP
.IP
(where YYYY is the TeX Live release version).
.fi
.IP
According to the actions, fmtutil might write to one of the given files
or create a new fmtutil.cnf, described further below.
.PP
Where changes are saved:
.IP
If config files are given on the command line, then the first one
given will be used to save any changes from \fB\-\-enable\fR or \fB\-\-disable\fR.
If the config files are taken from kpsewhich output, then the
algorithm is more complex:
.IP
1) If \fI\,$TEXMFCONFIG/web2c/fmtutil.cnf\/\fP or \fI\,$TEXMFHOME/web2c/fmtutil.cnf\/\fP
appears in the list of used files, then the one listed first by
kpsewhich \fB\-\-all\fR (equivalently, the one returned by kpsewhich
fmtutil.cnf), is used.
.IP
2) If neither of the above two are present and changes are made, a
new config file is created in \fI\,$TEXMFCONFIG/web2c/fmtutil.cnf\/\fP.
.IP
In general, the idea is that if a given config file is not writable, a
higher\-level one can be used. That way, the distribution's settings
can be overridden for system\-wide using TEXMFLOCAL, and then system
settings can be overridden again for a particular using using TEXMFHOME.
.PP
Resolving multiple definitions of a format:
.IP
If a format is defined in more than one config file, then the definition
coming from the first\-listed fmtutil.cnf is used.
.PP
Disabling formats:
.IP
fmtutil.cnf files with higher priority (listed earlier) can disable
formats mentioned in lower priority (listed later) fmtutil.cnf files by
writing, e.g.,
.IP
#! <fmtname> <enginename> <hyphen> <args>
.IP
in the higher\-priority fmtutil.cnf file.
.IP
As an example, suppose you have want to disable the luajitlatex format.
You can create the file \fI\,$TEXMFCONFIG/web2c/fmtutil.cnf\/\fP with the content
.IP
#! luajitlatex luajittex language.dat,language.dat.lua lualatex.ini
.IP
and call fmtutil.
.PP
fmtutil vs. fmtutil\-sys (fmtutil \fB\-\-sys\fR):
.IP
When fmtutil\-sys is run or the command line option \fB\-\-sys\fR is used,
TEXMFSYSCONFIG and TEXMFSYSVAR are used instead of TEXMFCONFIG and
TEXMFVAR, respectively. This is the primary difference between
fmtutil\-sys and fmtutil.
.IP
Other locations may be used if you give them on the command line, or
these trees don't exist, or you are not using the original TeX Live.
