update-latex-ucs8

Usage

Overview

update-latex-ucs regenerates the data directory of latex-ucs (/usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/ucs/data) from the glyph sources (*.ucf, *.ucf.gz) in /usr/share/latex-ucs-dev/config. It does so by calling the script makeunidef.pl ( (c) 2003 Dominique Unruh) with appropriate parameters.

Before the generation process, the original data directory is renamed to data.old, for the case that anything goes wrong. After a successful generation process you may safely delete the data.old directory to save some space.

After a successful generation process, mktexlsr is called to rebuild LaTeX's file hash.

Options

This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-').

-c, --comments

Generate data files with comments (default is no comments). This option is simply passed to makeunidef.pl.

-b, --nobackup

Do not backup the original data directory before the generation.

-h, --help

Print a small help message.
