tlmgr-option: Show the value of a specific TeX Live setting.
$ tlmgr option ${setting}
try on your machine
The command "tlmgr option ${setting}" is used to retrieve or modify specific settings in the TeX Live Manager (tlmgr).
Here's how the command works:
- "tlmgr" refers to the TeX Live Manager, a command-line tool used for managing TeX Live installations.
- "option" is a command within tlmgr that is used to get or set options.
- "${setting}" is a placeholder for the specific setting you want to retrieve or modify. You would replace "${setting}" with the actual name of the setting you are interested in.
For example:
- To retrieve the value of a specific option, you would replace "${setting}" with the name of that option. The command could be something like "tlmgr option paper-size".
- To modify the value of an option, you would also replace "${setting}" with the name of that option, and specify the new value as an argument. The command could be something like "tlmgr option paper-size a4".
Keep in mind that specific options and their names may vary depending on your TeX Live installation and the packages you have installed. Therefore, it is important to refer to the TeX Live documentation or consult the available options to know the specific settings you can work with.
