NAME

       texi2dvi - convert Texinfo documents to DVI or PDF

SYNOPSIS

       texi2dvi [OPTION]... FILE...
       texi2pdf [OPTION]... FILE...
       pdftexi2dvi [OPTION]... FILE...

DESCRIPTION

       Run  each  Texinfo  or (La)TeX FILE through TeX in turn until all cross-references are resolved, building
       all indices.  The directory containing each FILE is searched for included files.  The suffix of  FILE  is
       used  to determine its language ((La)TeX or Texinfo).  To process (e)plain TeX files, set the environment
       variable LATEX=tex.

       When invoked as `texi2pdf' or given the option --pdf generate PDF output.  Otherwise, generate DVI.

   General options:
       -D, --debug
              turn on shell debugging (set -x)

       -h, --help
              display this help and exit successfully

       -o, --output=OFILE
              leave output in OFILE; only one input FILE is allowed

       -q, --quiet
              no output unless errors

       -v, --version
              display version information and exit successfully

       -V, --verbose
              report on what is done

       --max-iterations=N
              don't process files more than N times [7]

       --mostly-clean
              remove auxiliary files or directories from previous runs (but not the output)

   Output format:
       --dvi  output a DVI file [default]

       --dvipdf
              output a PDF file via DVI (using a dvi-to-pdf program)

       --html output an HTML file from LaTeX, using HeVeA

       --info output an Info file from LaTeX, using HeVeA

       -p, --pdf
              use pdftex or pdflatex for processing

       --ps   output a PostScript file via DVI (using dvips)

       --text output a plain text file from LaTeX, using HeVeA

   TeX tuning:
       -E, --expand
              macro expansion using makeinfo

       -I DIR search DIR for Texinfo files

       -l, --language=LANG
              specify LANG for FILE, either latex or texinfo

       --no-line-error
              do not pass --file-line-error to TeX

       --shell-escape
              pass --shell-escape to TeX

       --src-specials
              pass --src-specials to TeX

       --translate-file=FILE
              use given charset translation file for TeX

       -t, --command=CMD
              insert CMD in copy of input file

   Build modes:
       --build=MODE
              specify the treatment of auxiliary files [local]

       --tidy same as --build=tidy

       -c, --clean
              same as --build=clean

       --build-dir=DIR
              specify   where   the   tidy   compilation   is   performed;   implies   --tidy;    defaults    to
              TEXI2DVI_BUILD_DIRECTORY [.]

       The  MODE specifies where the TeX compilation takes place, and, as a consequence, how auxiliary files are
       treated.  The build mode can also be set using the environment variable TEXI2DVI_BUILD_MODE.

   Valid values of MODE are:
       `local'
              compile in the current directory, leaving all the auxiliary files around.  This is the traditional
              TeX use.

       `tidy' compile  in  a local *.t2d directory, where the auxiliary files are left.  Output files are copied
              back to the original file.

       `clean'
              same as `tidy', but remove  the  auxiliary  directory  afterwards.   Every  compilation  therefore
              requires the full cycle.

       The values of these environment variables are used to run the corresponding commands, if they are set:

              BIBER BIBTEX DVIPDF DVIPS EGREP HEVEA LATEX MAKEINDEX MAKEINFO PDFLATEX PDFTEX SED T4HT TEX TEX4HT
              TEXINDEX TEXINDY THUMBPDF_CMD

       Regarding --dvipdf, if DVIPDF is not set in the environment, the following programs are  looked  for  (in
       this order): dvipdfmx dvipdfm dvipdf dvi2pdf dvitopdf.

       If Texinfo is installed on your site, then the command

              info texi2dvi

       should give you access to more documentation.
