RUBBER-INFO(1) General Commands Manual RUBBER-INFO(1)
NAME
rubber-info - extract information from LaTeX documents
SYNOPSIS
rubber-info [options] [action] source
DESCRIPTION
Rubber-info is a utility for extracting various kinds of information from a LaTeX document. Information can be extracted from the source
(for instance when calculating dependencies) or from the compilation log files (to extract errors and warnings). This program is a comple-
ment for the compilation system rubber(1).
The command-line options are those used by rubber(1) plus one of the actions described below.
ACTIONS
One of the following command-line options must be specified, to decide which information to extract. Of course, for actions that read a log
file, a compilation must have been done before. If none of these actions is specified, --check is assumed.
--boxes
Extracts from the log file the places in the source where bad boxes appeared (these are the famous overfull and underfull hbox and
vbox)
--check
Report errors if there are any, otherwise report undefined references if there are any, otherwise list warnings and bad boxes. This
is the default action.
--deps Analyse the source files and produce a space-separated list of all the files that the document depends on and that Rubber cannot
rebuild.
--errors
Extract from the log file the list of errors that occured during the last compilation.
-h, --help
Display the list of all available options and exit nicely.
--refs Report the list of undefined or multiply defined references (i.e. the
ef's that are not defined by one label).
--rules
Analyse the source files and produce a list of dependency rules. One rule is produced for each intermediate target that would be
made when running rubber. Rules are formatted in the style of Makefiles.
--version
Print the version number and exit nicely.
--warnings
Stupidly enumerate all LaTeX warnings, i.e. all the lines in the log file that contain the string "Warning".
