NAME
       kpsewhich - standalone path lookup and and expansion for kpathsea

SYNOPSIS
       kpsewhich [options] [filenames]

DESCRIPTION
       This  manual page is not meant to be exhaustive.	 The complete documen‐
       tation for this version of TeX can be found in the info file or	manual
       Kpathsea: A library for path searching.

       kpsewhich  is  used  as	a standalone front-end of the kpathsea library
       that can be used to examine variables and find files.  When the	--for‐
       mat  option  is not given, the search path used when looking for a file
       is inferred from the name given, by looking for a known extension.   If
       no  known  extesion  is	found, the search path for TeX source files is
       used.
