.TH L3SYS-QUERY 1 "2024-03-15" "LaTeX"

.SH NAME
l3sys-query

.SH SYNOPSIS
 Usage l3sys-query <cmd> [<options>] [<args>]

.SH DESCRIPTION

The l3sys-query script provides a method for TeX runs to obtain system
information via shell escape to Lua. The facilities are more limited than the
similar Java script texosquery, but since it uses Lua, l3sys-query can be
used 'out of the box' with any install TeX system. The script is written taking
account of TeX Live security requirement; it is therefore suitable for use with
restricted shell escape, the standard setting when installing a TeX system.
