NAME
       kpsetool - script to make teTeX-style kpsetool, kpsexpand,
       and kpsepath available


SYNOPSIS
       kpsetool  [ OPTIONS... ] COMMAND

       kpsexpand [ OPTIONS... ] STRING

       kpsepath  [ OPTIONS... ] PATHTYPE


DESCRIPTION
       kpsetool is a Bourne shell script that makes a teTeX-style
       kpsetool,  kpsexpand,  and  kpsepath  available.  kpsetool
       uses web2c's (new) kpsexpand binary,  so  the  syntax  for
       kpsexpand  is incompatible with teTeX's as of version 0.4.


OPTIONS
       -m mode
              set Metafont mode

       -n progname
              pretend to be progname to kpathsea

       -p     act like kpsepath(h)

       -v     act like kpsexpand(d)
