DESCRIPTION
This manual page is not meant to be exhaustive. The com-
plete 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 kpath-
sea 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

extension is found, the search path for TeX source files
is used.
