MIKTEX-FNDB(1)

🎀 MIKTEX-FNDB 🎀

okay so this is miktex-fndb, a page from the User Commands manual, and it's literally all about babysitting the MiKTeX file name database. bestie, it's short, it's sweet, and it slays at exactly two things. let's go 💅

---

✨ NAME ✨

miktex-fndb — manage the MiKTeX file name database

like, that's the whole job. you're the database's emotional support human 🫶

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

miktex [common-option...] fndb command [command-option-or-parameter...]

read it like a little recipe: you start with miktex, sprinkle in some [common-option...] if you feel like it, then the word fndb (that's us!! hii 👋), then a command, and then whatever [command-option-or-parameter...] that command is hungry for. no notes, iconic behavior ⭐

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

so basically: these are the commands for managing the MiKTeX file name database. that's the vibe. that's the whole description. lowkey the manpage author understood the assignment and went home early 🦋

---

✨ COMMANDS ✨

• refresh — refreshes the MiKTeX file name database. it's giving "go touch grass but for a database" 🌸 so if your database is feeling stale, this is your girl.
• remove — removes the MiKTeX file name database. like, gone gone. not me being dramatic but there is genuinely nothing else written here about it, so treat it with the respect a delete-y command deserves 💀

ngl, remove does exactly what it says on the tin. no undo lore is documented here, so maybe don't yeet your database on a whim 🙈

---

✨ SEE ALSO ✨

• miktex(1) — the main character herself 💖 go read it, it's where all the [common-option...] lore lives 👑

anyway bestie that's the whole page — the file name database has been managed, the vibe check has been passed, periodt 🧚‍♀️🌈

with love, MiKTeX 25.12, dated December 29, 2025 🎀
