.IX Title "MKJOBTEXMF 1"
.TH MKJOBTEXMF 1 "2008-06-28" "perl v5.8.1" "User Contributed Perl Documentation"
.SH "NAME"
mkjobtexmf \-\- Generate a texmf tree for a particular job
.SH "SYNOPSIS"
.IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
The progam \fBmkjobtexmf\fR runs a program and tries to
find the used file names. Two methods are available,
option \f(CW\*(C`\-recorder\*(C'\fR of TeX (Web2C) or the program \fBstrace\fR.
.PP
Then it generates a directory with a texmf tree. It checks
the found files and tries sort them in this texmf tree.
.PP
It can be used for archiving purposes or to speed up
following TeX runs.
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    mkjobtexmf [options]
.Ve
.PP
This runs TeX that can be configured by options.
Both methods for getting the used file names are available.
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    mkjobtexmf [options] -- <cmd> [args]
.Ve
.PP
The latter form runs program \fIcmd\fR with arguments \fIargs\fR
instead of TeX. As method only program \fBstrace\fR is available.
.PP
Options:
.PP
.Vb 22
\&    --jobname <name>       Name of the job (mandatory).
\&                              Usually this is the TeX file
\&                              without extension
\&    --texname <file>       Input file for TeX. Default is the
\&                              job name with extension '.tex'
\&    --texopt <option>      Option for TeX run
\&    --destdir <directory>  Destination directory,
\&                              default is `<jobname>.mjt'
\&    --output               Add also output files
\&    --strace               Use strace instead of TeX's
\&                              option -recorder
\&    --copy                 Copy files instead of creating
\&                              symbol links
\&    --flat                 Junk paths, do not make directories
\&                              inside the destination directory
\&    --cmd-tex <cmd>        Command for the TeX compiler
\&    --cmd-kpsewhich <cmd>  Command for kpsewhich
\&    --cmd-texhash <cmd>    Command for texhash
\&    --cmd-strace <cmd>     Command for strace
\&    --verbose              Verbose output
\&    --help                 Brief help message
\&    --man                  Full documentation
.Ve
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
.Sh "Running the program"
.IX Subsection "Running the program"
First \fBmkjobtexmf\fR runs a program, usually TeX. The TeX compiler
is configured by option \fB\-\-cmd\-tex\fR. Option \fB\-\-texname\fR can
be used, if the file name extension differs from \fI.tex\fR:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    mkjobtexmf --jobname foo --texname foo.ltx
.Ve
.PP
Even more complicate cases are possible:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    mkjobtexmf --jobname foo --texname '\edef\eabc{...}\einput{foo}'
.Ve
.PP
If another program than TeX should be used (dvips, ...),
then this program can be given after \f(CW\*(C`\-\-\*(C'\fR:
.PP
.Vb 1
\&    mkjobtexmf --jobname foo -- dvips foo
.Ve
.Sh "File recording"
.IX Subsection "File recording"
Two methods are available to get the used file names:
.IP "Recorder of TeX" 4
.IX Item "Recorder of TeX"
Some TeX distributions (e.g. Web2C) support the option \fB\-recorder\fR
for its TeX compilers. Then the TeX compiler generates a file with
extension \fI.fls\fR that records the used input and output files.
.IP "Program strace" 4
.IX Item "Program strace"
This program traces system calls and signals. It is used here
to log the used files.
.Sh "Analyze and link/copy found files"
.IX Subsection "Analyze and link/copy found files"
The result directory \fI\fIjobname\fI.mjt\fR is generated. Inside the
result \s-1TEXMF\s0 tree is created. Each found file is compared against
a list of paths of \s-1TEXMF\s0 trees. If a match is found, the file is
linked/copied into the \s-1TEXMF\s0 tree. The list of paths is generated by
program \fBkpsewhich\fR.
.PP
If the file cannot be mapped to a \s-1TEXMF\s0 tree and the file is
a relative file name, then it is directly linked/copied into the
result directory \fI\fIjobname\fI.mjt\fR. Absolute file names
are not supported and neither paths with links to parent directories.
.PP
Symbolic links are created by default. The files are copied
if option \-\-copy is given or symbolic linking is not available.
.SH "OPTIONS"
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
.IP "\fB\-\-jobname\fR=\fIjobname\fR" 4
.IX Item "--jobname=jobname"
It is the name of the job. `<jobname>.tex' serves as default for
the TeX file and <jobname> is used for naming various directories
and files. See section \*(L"\s-1FILES\s0\*(R".
.IP "\fB\-\-texname\fR=\fIname\fR" 4
.IX Item "--texname=name"
The name of the TeX input file, if it differs from <jobname>.tex.
.IP "\fB\-\-texopt\fR=\fIopt\fR" 4
.IX Item "--texopt=opt"
Additional option for the TeX compiler, examples are \-\-ini or
\&\-\-shell\-escape. This option can be given more than once.
.IP "\fB\-\-destdir\fR=\fIdirectory\fR" 4
.IX Item "--destdir=directory"
Specifies the name of the destination directory where the result
is collected. As default a directory is generated in the current
directory with the job name and extension `.mjt'.
.IP "\fB\-\-output\fR" 4
.IX Item "--output"
Also add output files.
.IP "\fB\-\-strace\fR" 4
.IX Item "--strace"
Use method with program \fBstrace\fR, see \*(L"\s-1DESCRIPTION\s0\*(R".
.IP "\fB\-\-copy\fR" 4
.IX Item "--copy"
Files are copied instead of creating symbolic links.
.IP "\fB\-\-flat\fR" 4
.IX Item "--flat"
Files are linked or copied without path elements.
The destination directory will contain a flat list of
files or links without directory.
.Sp
The files `ls\-R' and `aliases' are ignored.
.IP "\fB\-\-cmd\-tex\fR=\fIcmd\fR" 4
.IX Item "--cmd-tex=cmd"
Command for the TeX compiler. Default is pdflatex.
.IP "\fB\-\-cmd\-kpsewhich\fR=\fIcmd\fR" 4
.IX Item "--cmd-kpsewhich=cmd"
Command for kpsewhich.
.IP "\fB\-\-cmd\-texhash\fR=\fIcmd\fR" 4
.IX Item "--cmd-texhash=cmd"
Command for updating the file name database of the generated
texmf tree. Default is texmf.
.IP "\fB\-\-cmd\-strace\fR=\fIcmd\fR" 4
.IX Item "--cmd-strace=cmd"
Command for strace.
.IP "\fB\-\-verbose\fR" 4
.IX Item "--verbose"
Verbose messages.
.IP "\fB\-\-help\fR" 4
.IX Item "--help"
Display help screen.

.SH "UNSOLVED ISSUES, CAVEATS, TODOS"
.IX Header "UNSOLVED ISSUES, CAVEATS, TODOS"
.IP "Experimental software" 4
.IX Item "Experimental software"
Options, defaults, how the program works might change in
future versions.
.IP "\fItexmf.cnf\fR" 4
.IX Item "texmf.cnf"
Currently the method with \fBstrace\fR records this files.
TeX's recorder does not. Useful are \fItexmf.cnf\fR files for
variable settings. Because we have just one \s-1TEXMF\s0 tree,
the path sections should probably rewritten.
.IP "Settings in environment variables" 4
.IX Item "Settings in environment variables"
They are not stored at all.
.IP "Collisions" 4
.IX Item "Collisions"
The program uses one destination directory and at most
one \s-1TEXMF\s0 tree for the result. However, the source files
can come from different directories and \s-1TEXMF\s0 trees.
Therefore name collisions are possible.
.Sp
The program follows the strategy not to delete files
in the destination directory. That allows to collect files
from differnt runs. Thus collisions are resolved
in the manner that the first entry that is made in
the destination directory wins.
.IP "Configuration file" 4
.IX Item "Configuration file"
It would save the user from retyping the same options again and again.
.IP "Uncomplete recording" 4
.IX Item "Uncomplete recording"
Bugs in TeX's file recording might result in incomplete
file recording (e.g. pdfTeX 1.40.3 does not record .pfb and
\&.pk files).
.IP "..." 4
.SH "FILES"
.IX Header "FILES"
.PD 0
.IP "\fI<jobname>.mjt/\fR" 4
.IX Item "<jobname>.mjt/"
.PD
Directory where the resulting texmf tree and symbol links
are stored. It can be changed by option \-\-destdir.
.IP "\fI<jobname>.fls\fR" 4
.IX Item "<jobname>.fls"
Name of TeX's recorder file.
.IP "\fI<jobname>.strace\fR" 4
