NAME
ctxtools - clean up temporary ConTeXt files, install latest ConTeXt
SYNOPSIS
ctxtools [ OPTION ... ]
DESCRIPTION
ctxtools is useful for dealing with ConTeXt source and generated files
and for installing new versions of ConTeXt.
OPTIONS
--help Print the available options.
--purgefiles
Get rid of many temporary files generated by ConTeXt. You can
give the --all option to remove a larger fraction of those
files, and the --recurse option to remove these files also in
subdirectories.
--contextversion
Show the date of the ConTeXt macros and the format file. Useful
after upgrading ConTeXt (perhaps using --updatecontext) to check
whether the new formats and macros are visible to the TeX path
searches (see kpsewhich(1).
--updatecontext
Download the latest ConTeXt distribution and install it in the
TEXMFLOCAL tree (see kpsewhich(1) for information on TeX path
searching). TEXMFLOCAL usually points to a system-wide
location. If you want to install the new ConTeXt in your home
directory (i.e. an install for one user), then set the
TEXMFLOCAL environment variable while running ctxtools. For
example, using the syntax of the Bourne shell sh(1):
TEXMFLOCAL=$HOME/texmf ctxtools --updatecontext
--documentation
Generate a .ted file from the source file. See also the
--module option to texexec(1).
--patternfiles [languagecode]
Generate pattern files. You can also give the --all, --xml, and
--utf8 options.
ENVIRONMENT
TEXMFLOCAL
Used by --updatecontext to decide where to install the
distribution.
