NAME

       MFLua - manual page for MFLua 2.71828182-1.0.1-alpha (TeX Live 2025)

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
