texi2dvi

TEXI2DVI(1)							   User Commands						       TEXI2DVI(1)

NAME

       texi2dvi - print Texinfo documents

SYNOPSIS

       texi2dvi [OPTION]... FILE...

DESCRIPTION

       Run each Texinfo or LaTeX FILE through TeX in turn until all cross-references are resolved, building all indices.  The directory containing
       each FILE is searched for included files.  The suffix of FILE is used to determine its language (LaTeX or Texinfo).

       Makeinfo is used to perform Texinfo macro expansion before running TeX when needed.

   Operation modes:
       -b, --batch
	      no interaction

       -c, --clean
	      remove all auxiliary files

       -D, --debug
	      turn on shell debugging (set -x)

       -h, --help
	      display this help and exit successfully

       -o, --output=OFILE
	      leave output in OFILE (implies --clean); Only one input FILE may be specified in this case

       -q, --quiet
	      no output unless errors (implies --batch)

       -s, --silent
	      same as --quiet

       -v, --version
	      display version information and exit successfully

       -V, --verbose
	      report on what is done

   TeX tuning:
       -@     use @input instead of input; for preloaded Texinfo

       -e, -E, --expand
	      force macro expansion using makeinfo

       -I DIR search DIR for Texinfo files

       -l, --language=LANG
	      specify the LANG of FILE (LaTeX or Texinfo)

       -p, --pdf
	      use pdftex or pdflatex for processing

       -t, --command=CMD
	      insert CMD in copy of input file;

       or --texinfo=CMD
	      multiple values accumulate

       The values of the BIBTEX, LATEX (or PDFLATEX), MAKEINDEX, MAKEINFO, TEX (or PDFTEX), TEXINDEX, and THUMBPDF environment variables are  used
       to run those commands, if they are set.	Any CMD strings are added after @setfilename for Texinfo input, in the first line for LaTeX input.

REPORTING BUGS

       Email   bug   reports   to  <bug-texinfo@gnu.org>,  general  questions  and  discussion	to  <help-texinfo@gnu.org>.   Texinfo  home  page:
