NAME
kpsewhich - standalone path lookup and and expansion for kpathsea
SYNOPSIS

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 Kpathsea: A library for path searching. kpsewhich is used as a standalone front-end of the kpathsea library that can be used to examine variables and find files. When the --for- mat 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 known extesion is found, the search path for TeX source files is used.
