l3sys-query - Man Page

l3sys-query <cmd> [<options>] [<args>]

The l3sys-query script provides a method for TeX runs to obtain system information via shell escape to Lua. The facilities are more limited than the similar Java script texosquery, but since it uses Lua, l3sys-query can be used 'out of the box' with any install TeX system. The script is written taking account of TeX Live security requirement; it is therefore suitable for use with restricted shell escape, the standard setting when installing a TeX system.

Valid <cmd>s are:
  ls  Prints a listing based on the <args> and <options>
  pwd Prints the present working directory

Valid <options> are:
  --exclude        [<xarg>] Exclude entries from directory listing
  --help|-h        Prints this message and exits
  --ignore-case    Ignore case when sorting directory listing
  --pattern|-p     Treat (x)args as a Lua pattern
  --recursive|-r   Activates recursive directory listing
  --reverse        Reversing sorting order
  --sort           [name|date] Method used to sort directory listing
  --type           [d|f] Select just the directories or files in a listing
  --version|-v     Prints version information and exits
