27 __kpsewhich__ is used as a standalone front-end of the
28 kpathsea library that can be used to examine variables and
29 find files. When the __--format__ option is not given,
30 the search path used when looking for a file is inferred
31 from the name given, by looking for a known extension. If no
32 known extension is found, the search path for TEX source
33 files is used.
