Package: texlive-texdef (2025.221.1.10svn74067-160000.3.1)

Display the definitions of TeX commands

This (Perl) script displays the definitions of (La)TeX command sequences/macros. Various options allow the selection of the used class as well as package files and other factors that may influence the definition (before/after the preamble, inside an environment, ...). The script creates a temporary TeX file which is then compiled using (La)TeX to find the '\meaning' of the command sequence. The result is formatted and presented to the user. Length or number command sequences (dimensions, \char..., count registers, ...) are recognized and the contained value is also shown (using \the). Special definitions like protected macros are also recognized and the underlying macros are shown as well. The script will show plain TeX definitions by default. LaTeX and ConTeXt are supported, including flavours (pdf(La)TeX, Lua(La)TeX, Xe(La)TeX, ...). The flavour can be selected using a command line option, or via the script name: latexdef will use LaTeX as default, etc.

Versions, suites, and repositories

Each row is recorded package-index metadata for one version, architecture, suite, and repository. Names, URLs, and sizes are source-reported; a link is a potentially mutable retrieval location, not an OpenFactory redistribution claim or proof that OpenFactory retained the artifact bytes.

Checksums and observation dates

For an APT source, signature verification authenticates the repository metadata chain and the Packages index containing this source-reported artifact digest. It does not certify package safety.
