!!NAME


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


__kpsewhich__ [[''options'']
[[''filenames'']
!!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 __--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
known extension is found, the search path for TEX source
files is used.
