NAME

       l3sys-query

SYNOPSIS

       l3sys-query <cmd> [<options>] [<args>]

DESCRIPTION

       The  l3sys-query  script  provides  a method for TeX runs to obtain system information via
       shell escape to Lua. The  facilities  are  more  limited  than  the  similar  Java  script
       texosquery,  but  since  it  uses  Lua,  l3sys-query can be used 'out of the box' with any
       install TeX system. The script is written taking account of TeX Live security requirement;
       it  is  therefore suitable for use with restricted shell escape, the standard setting when
       installing a TeX system.
