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
