NAME
       kpsetool - script to make teTeX-style kpsetool, kpsexpand, and kpsepath
       available

SYNOPSIS
       kpsetool  [ OPTIONS... ] COMMAND

       kpsexpand [ OPTIONS... ] STRING

       kpsepath  [ OPTIONS... ] PATHTYPE

DESCRIPTION
       kpsetool is a Bourne shell script that makes a teTeX-style kpsetool,
       kpsexpand, and kpsepath available.  kpsetool uses web2c's (new)
       kpsexpand binary, so the syntax for kpsexpand is incompatible with
       teTeX's as of version 0.4.
