System Manager's Manual 💅

✨ NAME ✨

update-texmf-config is a script that maintainer scripts call to kick off tex-common actions 🫶

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

update-texmf-config [options]

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

okay so this manual page briefly documents the update-texmf-config command 📖 it was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution, because the original script was designed for the Debian packaging system 🍓

update-texmf-config is a shell script 🐚 that gets called from maintainer scripts when they ship new map files, hyphenation patterns, or any other TeX input file ✨

the script basically just flips the right trigger on 🔥 that's texmf-map for font map files, texmf-hyphen for hyphenation patterns, and texmf-format for format updates 🦋 then all the actual work gets handled by the tex-common package, no cap 💜

🦋 OPTIONS 🦋

• map — activates the texmf-map trigger 🗺️
• hyphen — activates the texmf-hyphen trigger ✂️
• format — activates the texmf-format trigger 🧚
