Latexmk, version 4.27a, 10 October 2011
---------------------------------------
Latexmk completely automates the process of generating a LaTeX
document. Essentially, it is a highly specialized cousin of the
general make utility. Given the source files for a document, latexmk
issues the appropriate sequence of commands to generate a .dvi, .ps,
.pdf or hardcopy version of the document, including repeated running
of the programs until cross references etc are resolved. Latexmk can also
be set to run continuously with a previewer; the latex program, etc,
are rerun whenever one of the source files is modified.
Latexmk automatically determines file dependencies from the LaTeX .log
file. It features: a fully reliable algorithm for deciding how many
times to run latex and related programs, automatic detection of
dependent files, the ability to generate pdf files using pdflatex or
via dvi or postscript files, and the continuous-preview mode. For
bibliographies, the current version now supports biber as well as the
traditional bibtex. Which of bibtex or biber to use is determined
automatically.
Please read the man page (or the corresponding text or postscript
file) for details of what latexmk does and what all the features are.
A copy of the fast help that can be seen by doing "latexmk -h" is at
the end of this file.
Latexmk is a perl script. It is licensed under the GNU General Public
License.
It was modified by Evan McLean from the original script called "go"
written by David J. Musliner. Now it is supported by

The start of the script file has copyright notices and disclaimers. It
also has a modification history for those who are interested.
NOTES:-
1) See the INSTALL file for installation instructions
2) Portability under various UNIX-type systems (including Linux):
A special hack is used at the beginning of the latexmk script to ensure
that it correctly runs without the need to adjust a #! line. All that
is necessary is that the script has execute permission.
3) Portability under non-UNIX systems:
Under other operating systems some other arrangement needs to be made
to run the file. For example under MS-Windows, the supplied batch file
latexmk.bat will do this. Under current TeXLive (2009 or later)
distribution, latexmk can be installed by TeXLive's package
manager, in which case an executable program is also installed to
run latexmk.pl, and an appropriate version of Perl is part of the
TeXLive system.
You may also find it necessary to convert files to the correct
local format for text files. As downloaded, the files are in UNIX
format (line-ending is '\n'). On MS-Windows systems, the
conversion to MSDOS format (with line-ending '\r\n') is normally
UNnecessary, since much current software handles the UNIX format
correctly. (The known current software for which this statement
applies includes MikTeX, TeXLive, emacs.)
4) Portability: The various commands to process LaTeX files made need to
be changed for particular installations. See the INSTALL file and the
documentation for information on customization.
5) Portability: Users of different UNIX-like systems may have to change
the "$pscmd" variable in their RC file if the -pvc option is to work
perfectly. Refer to $pscmd in the man page.
6) Latexmk can be downloaded from the author's site at
http://www.phys.psu.edu/~collins/software/latexmk/
This site also includes previous versions, and sometimes newer
versions under development.
7) Latexmk is archived on the CTAN tex archive --- see
http://www.tug.org/ctan.html.
8) [If for some reason you need to find the obsolete version 2, it can
also be found on CTAN, e.g., at
http://ctan.org/tex-archive/obsolete/support/latexmk/]

---------------------------- "latexmk -h" ----------------------------
Latexmk 4.27a: Automatic LaTeX document generation routine
Usage: latexmk [latexmk_options] [filename ...]
Latexmk_options:
-aux-directory=dir or -auxdir=dir
- set name of directory for auxiliary files (aux, log)
- Currently this only works with MiKTeX
-bibtex - use bibtex when needed (default)
-bibtex- - never use bibtex

-bi <intensity> - Set contrast or intensity of banner
-bs <scale> - Set scale for banner
-commands - list commands used by latexmk for processing files
-c - clean up (remove) all nonessential files, except
dvi, ps and pdf files.
This and the other clean-ups are instead of a regular make.
-C - clean up (remove) all nonessential files
including aux, dep, dvi, postscript and pdf files
and file of database of file information
-CA - clean up (remove) all nonessential files.
Equivalent to -C option.
-CF - Remove file of database of file information before doing
other actions
-cd - Change to directory of source file when processing it
-cd- - Do NOT change to directory of source file when processing it
-dependents or -deps - Show list of dependent files after processing
-dependents- or -deps- - Do not show list of dependent files
-deps-out=file - Set name of output file for dependency list,
and turn on showing of dependency list
-dF <filter> - Filter to apply to dvi file
-dvi - generate dvi
-dvi- - turn off required dvi
-e <code> - Execute specified Perl code (as part of latexmk start-up
code)
-f - force continued processing past errors
-f- - turn off forced continuing processing past errors
-gg - Super go mode: clean out generated files (-CA), and then
process files regardless of file timestamps
-g - process regardless of file timestamps
-g- - Turn off -g
-h - print help
-help - print help
-jobname=STRING - set basename of output file(s) to STRING.
(Like --jobname=STRING on command line for many current
implementations of latex/pdflatex.)

-latex=<program> - set program used for latex.
(replace '<program>' by the program name)
-new-viewer - in -pvc mode, always start a new viewer

-nobibtex - never use bibtex
-nodependents - Do not show list of dependent files after processing
-norc - omit automatic reading of system, user and project rc files
