3.5 `kpsewhich': Standalone path searching
==========================================

The Kpsewhich program exercises the path searching functionality
independent of any particular application.  This can also be useful as a
sort of `find' program to locate files in your TeX hierarchies, perhaps
in administrative scripts.  It is used heavily in the distributed
`mktex...' scripts.

  Synopsis:
     kpsewhich OPTION... FILENAME...

  The options and filename(s) to look up can be intermixed.  Options
can start with either `-' or `--', and any unambiguous abbreviation is
accepted.

Path searching options: Changing the mode, resolution, etc.
Auxiliary tasks: Path and variable expansion.
Standard options: --help and --version.
