NAME

       texdirflatten - Collects all components of a (La)TeX file in a single output directory -- i.e., flattens
       its hierarchy.

SYNOPSIS

       texdirflatten -f input.tex [-o outputdir]

DESCRIPTION

       It parses the source file, following its included children (La)TeX files recursively, to collect together
       its components, such as graphics and BiBTeX bibliography files in different directories.

OPTIONS

       -f input.tex
           Specifies input (La)TeX file.

       -o outputdir
           Directory  to  collect all files. texdirflatten will copy each source file, graphics and bibliography
           file to this directory. It will be created if it  is  unexistent.  If  unspecified,  it  defaults  to
           "flat/".

EXAMPLES

       The  following  example  scans  "manuscript.tex"  in  the  current  directory  and gathers it and all its
       components in the "submit_01/" directory:

        $ texdirflatten -f manuscript.tex -o submit_01
