NAME
       kpsetool - script to make teTeX-style kpsetool, kpsexpand, and kpsepath
       available

SYNOPSIS
       kpsetool  [ OPTIONS... ] COMMAND

       kpsexpand [ OPTIONS... ] STRING

       kpsepath  [ OPTIONS... ] PATHTYPE

DESCRIPTION
       kpsetool is a Bourne shell script that makes  a  teTeX-style  kpsetool,
       kpsexpand,  and kpsepath available.  kpsetool uses web2c's (new) kpsex-
       pand binary, so the syntax for kpsexpand is incompatible  with  teTeX's
       as of version 0.4.

OPTIONS
       -m mode
              set Metafont mode

       -n progname

       -p     act like kpsepath(1)

       -v     act like kpsexpand(1)

       -w     act like kpsewhich(1)
