# original mktexlsr -- create or rebuild ls-R.

# (If you change or delete the word `original' on the previous line,
# installation won't write this script over yours.)

# Suitable for calling from cron, as in:
# 0 * * * * cd /your/texmf/root && /usr/local/texlive/bin/mktexlsr

usage="Usage: $progname [OPTION]... [DIR]...
Rebuild ls-R filename databases used by TeX.  If one or more arguments
DIRS are given, these are used as the directories in which to build
ls-R. Else all directories in the search path for ls-R files
(\$TEXMFDBS) are used.
Options:
  --dry-run  do not actually update anything
  --help     display this help and exit 
  --quiet    cancel --verbose
  --silent   same as --quiet
  --verbose  explain what is being done
  --version  output version information and exit
  
If standard input is a terminal, --verbose is on by default.
For more information, see the \`Filename database' section of
Kpathsea manual available at http://tug.org/kpathsea.

# The simple PATH-prepending approach we take in other scripts doesn't
