ls-R(5)

NAME
ls-R - database for common TeX input files

DESCRIPTION
ls-R is the database for the teTeX binaries to speed up file finding. The file is located in the $TEXMF directory (normally $TETEXDIR/texmf) and maintained by texhash(1), append_db(1) or (implicit) by MakeTeXPK, MakeTeXTFM and MakeTeXMF. ls-R contains nothing more than an identification line and the output of an ls -LR command from within $TEXMF.
