NAME
       fmtutil.cnf - configuration file for fmtutil

DESCRIPTION
       The  fmtutil.cnf	 file contains the configuration informa-
       tion for fmtutil(8).  Each line contains the name  of  the
       format  (e.g., ``tex'', ``latex'', ``omega''), the name of
       the engine that uses that format (e.g., ``tex'', ``etex'',
       ``omega''),  the	 pattern  file	(e.g., language.dat, lan-
       guage.def), and any arguments (name of an .ini file).

       Fields are separated by whitespace.  A ``-'' can	 be  used
       to  indicate an empty field (only used in practice for the
       pattern-file field for the tex and amstex  formats,  which
       cannot be customized in this way.).  Line can be commented
       out with ``#''.

NOTES
       The tex(1) and amstex(1) formats load hyphen.tex.  No cus-
       tomization is available for these formats.

       You can, however, build customized formats on top of plain
       tex(1)  or  amstex(1)  by  using	 bplain.tex  instead   of
       plain.tex  (see,	 for example, the bplain.ini file for the
       bplain format).

       etex(1) loads language.def, not language.dat.

       Symbolic links to the correct  engines  (e.g.,  bplain  ->
       tex)  are  generated by the texlinks(8) script.	 Remember
       to run texlinks(8) if you run fmtutil(8) yourself,  rather
       than using the FORMATS option in texconfig(8).
