NAME

       mflua,  mflua-nowin,  mfluajit,  mfluajit-nowin  -  implementation  of  META-FONT with Lua
       embedded for better extraction of information from METAFONT.

SYNOPSIS

       mflua [OPTION]... [MFNAME[.mf]] [COMMANDS]
       mflua [OPTION]... RST-LINE
       mflua [OPTION]... &BASE ARGS

DESCRIPTION

              Run MFLua on MFNAME, usually creating MFNAME.tfm and MFNAME.NNNNgf, where  NNNN  is
              the resolution of the specified mode (2602 by default).  Any following COMMANDS are
              processed as Metafont input, after MFNAME is read.  If the first line of MFNAME  is
              %&BASE,  and  BASE  is an existing .base file, use it.  Else use `NAME.base', where
              NAME is the program invocation name, most commonly `mf'.

              Alternatively, if the first non-option argument begins with a backslash,  interpret
              all non-option arguments as a line of Metafont input.

              Alternatively,  if  the first non-option argument begins with a &, the next word is
              taken as the BASE to  read,  overriding  all  else.  Any  remaining  arguments  are
              processed as above.

              If no arguments or options are specified, prompt for input.

       -base=BASENAME use BASENAME instead of program name or a %& line

       [-no]-file-line-error disable/enable file:line:error style messages

       -halt-on-error stop processing at the first error

       -ini be inimf, for dumping bases; this is implicitly true if the program name is `inimf'

       -interaction=STRING                  set                  interaction                 mode
       (STRING=batchmode/nonstopmode/scrollmode/errorstopmode)

       -jobname=STRING set the job name to STRING

       -kpathsea-debug=NUMBER  set path searching debugging flags according to the bits of NUMBER

       [-no]-mktex=FMT disable/enable mktexFMT generation (FMT=mflua)

       -output-directory=DIR   use existing DIR as the directory to write files in

       [-no]-parse-first-line disable/enable parsing of first line of input file

       -progname=STRING set program (and base) name to STRING

       -recorder enable filename recorder

       -translate-file=TCXNAME use the TCX file TCXNAME

       -8bit make all characters printable by default

       -help display this help and exit

       -version output version information and exit
