DESCRIPTION
       This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive.	The complete documentation for this version of TeX can be found in the info file or manual

       kpsewhich is used as a standalone front-end of the kpathsea library that can be used to examine variables and find files.  When the -format
       option is not given, the search path used when looking for a file is inferred from the name given, by looking for a known extension.  If no

       -debug num
	      Set debugging flags.

       -D num Use a base resolution of num; the default, set by the installer, is typically 600.

	      Search the disk as well as ls-R if necessary.

       -no-mktex fmt
	      disable mktexfmt generation.  (fmt=pk/mf/tex/tfm)
