- NAME
- texindex - create index files from raw indices created by
- TeX from the first run on texinfo file.
-
- SYNOPSIS
- texindex [ -o <name> ] [ -k ] file ...
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Running TeX typesetting program on texinfo file will usually
- produce raw indices which have to be re-sorted and properly
- re-formatted for an inclusion of a final run of TeX. This
- is done by texindex program. Its input files by default
- will have names with two letter suffixes so it is usually
- enough to use the command in a form `texinfo *.??'. This
- will create output files with three letter suffixes derived
- by adding trailing `s' and which be included in the next run
- of TeX automatically. Using non-default names may require
- more work. Giving to texindex a file which is not a raw
- index is supposed to be harmless.
-
- OPTIONS
- The following options are available.
-
- -o <name>
- store output in a named file.
-
- -k keep intermediate results.
-
- SEE ALSO
- tex(l), makeinfo(l).
-
- BUGS
- When default names for input files are not used and OS does
- not allow for more than three letters in file suffixes then
- texinfo tries hard to be smart about derived file names but
- a resulting mess may need some untangling.
-
- There is no check if a derived output file name does not
- conflict with something already existing. In such case it
- is assumed that these are remains of the previous run of
- texinfo and they will be over-written with a new output.
