1 % original texmf.cnf -- runtime path configuration file for kpathsea.
4 % If you modify this original file, YOUR CHANGES WILL BE LOST when it is
5 % updated. Instead, put your changes -- and only your changes, not an
6 % entire copy! -- in ../../texmf.cnf. That is, if this file is
7 % installed in /some/path/to/texlive/2015/texmf-dist/web2c/texmf.cnf,
8 % add your custom settings to /some/path/to/texlive/2015/texmf.cnf.
10 % What follows is a super-summary of what this .cnf file can
11 % contain. Please read the Kpathsea manual for more information.
13 % Any identifier (sticking to A-Za-z_ for names is safest) can be assigned.
14 % The `=' (and surrounding spaces) is optional.
15 % $foo (or ${foo}) in a value expands to the envvar or cnf value of foo.
16 % Long lines can be continued with a \.
18 % Earlier entries (in the same or another file) override later ones, and
19 % an environment variable foo overrides any texmf.cnf definition of foo.
21 % All definitions are read before anything is expanded, so you can use
22 % variables before they are defined.
24 % If a variable assignment is qualified with `.PROGRAM', it is ignored
25 % unless the current executable (last filename component of argv[0]) is
26 % named PROGRAM. This foo.PROGRAM construct is not recognized on the
27 % right-hand side. For environment variables, use FOO_PROGRAM.
29 % Which file formats use which paths for searches is described in the
30 % various programs' and the Kpathsea documentation (http://tug.org/kpathsea).
32 % // means to search subdirectories (recursively).
33 % A leading !! means to look only in the ls-R db, never on the disk.
34 % In this file, either ; or : can be used to separate path components.
35 % A leading/trailing/doubled path separator in the paths will be
36 % expanded into the compile-time default. Probably not what you want.
38 % Brace notation is supported, for example: /usr/local/{mytex,othertex}
39 % expands to /usr/local/mytex:/usr/local/othertex. We make extensive
43 %
\f Part 1: Search paths and directories.
45 % This is the parent directory of our several trees, i.e.,
46 % /usr/local/texlive/YYYY in the original TeX Live distribution.
48 % All trees must be organized according to the TeX Directory Structure
49 % (http://tug.org/tds), or files may not be found.
51 % Redistributors will probably want $SELFAUTODIR/share, i.e., /usr/share.
52 % Kpathsea sets SELFAUTOLOC (the directory with the binary),
53 % SELFAUTODIR (its parent), and SELFAUTOPARENT (its grandparent).
54 TEXMFROOT = $SELFAUTOPARENT
56 % The main tree of distributed packages and programs:
57 TEXMFDIST = $TEXMFROOT/texmf-dist

67 TEXMFSYSVAR = $TEXMFROOT/texmf-var
69 % TEXMFSYSCONFIG, where *-sys store configuration data.
70 TEXMFSYSCONFIG = $TEXMFROOT/texmf-config
72 % Per-user texmf tree(s) -- organized per the TDS, as usual. To define
73 % more than one per-user tree, set this to a list of directories in
74 % braces, as described above. (This used to be HOMETEXMF.) ~ expands
75 % to %USERPROFILE% on Windows, $HOME otherwise.
78 % TEXMFVAR, where texconfig/updmap/fmtutil store cached runtime data.

87 % For texconfig to work properly, TEXMFCONFIG and TEXMFVAR should be named
88 % explicitly and before all other trees.
90 % TEXMFLOCAL precedes TEXMFDIST because locally-installed versions
91 % should take precedence over distribution files -- although it is
92 % generally a source of confusion to have different versions of a
93 % package installed, whatever the trees, so try to avoid it.

97 % directories in this path, but if there is one, Kpathsea will use it.
98 % By default, this is only the !! elements of TEXMF, so that mktexlsr
99 % does not create ls-R files in the non-!! elements -- because if an
100 % ls-R is present, it will be used, and the disk will not be searched.

119 VARTEXFONTS = $TEXMFVAR/fonts
121 % On some systems, there will be a system tree which contains all the font
122 % files that may be created as well as the formats. For example
123 % TEXMFVAR = /var/lib/texmf
124 % is used in many distros. In this case, set VARTEXFONTS like this
125 %VARTEXFONTS = $TEXMFVAR/fonts

468 % will take precedence over the distributed one.
470 % For security reasons, it is best not to include . in this path.
472 % The idea behind this lengthy definition: for each of

475 % then the subdirectories ./texmf-local, texmf-dist, ./texmf.
476 % At any given installation, most of these directories will not exist,

479 % Special addition -- we want to include one more directory: the
480 % great-grandparent's texmf-local, because that is how TL is installed
481 % by default. That is, given a binary
482 % /usr/local/texlive/YYYY/bin/PLATFORM/kpsewhich, it should find
483 % /usr/local/texlive/texmf-local/web2c/texmf.cnf. I.e., not under YYYY.
485 % As a result, we cannot use actual brace expansion in the definition,
486 % since we don't want to scatter ../'s throughout the value. Hence we
487 % explicitly list every directory. Arguably more understandable anyway.

\f Part 2: Options.
529 % If this option is set to true, `tex a.b' will look first for a.b.tex
530 % (within each path element), and then for a.b, i.e., we try standard
531 % extensions first. If this is false, we first look for a.b and then
532 % a.b.tex, i.e., we try the name as-is first.
534 % Both names are always tried; the difference is the order in which they
535 % are tried. The setting applies to all searches, not just .tex.
537 % This setting only affects names being looked up which *already* have
538 % an extension. A name without an extension (e.g., `tex story') will
539 % always have an extension added first.
541 % The default is true, because we already avoid adding the standard
542 % extension(s) in the usual cases. E.g., babel.sty will only look for
543 % babel.sty, not babel.sty.tex, regardless of this setting.

549 % is not fully secure either, it is much better, and so useful that we
550 % enable it for everything but bare tex.
553 % No spaces in this command list.
555 % The programs listed here are as safe as any we know: they either do
556 % not write any output files, respect openout_any, or have hard-coded

558 % no features to invoke arbitrary other programs, and no known

560 % practical use for being called from TeX.

573 % and gs -dSAFER must be used and check for shell injection with filenames.
574 % (img)convert (ImageMagick) - delegates.mgk possible misconfig, besides,
575 % without Unix convert it hardly seems worth it, and Windows convert
576 % is something completely different that destroys filesystems, so skip.
577 % pygmentize - but is the filter feature insecure?
578 % ps4pdf - but it calls an unrestricted latex.
579 % rpdfcrop - maybe ok, but let's get experience with repstopdf first.
580 % texindy,xindy - but is the module feature insecure?
581 % ulqda - but requires optional SHA1.pm, so why bother.
582 % tex, latex, etc. - need to forbid --shell-escape, and inherit openout_any.
584 % plain "tex" should remain unenhanced.
