TEXINDEX(1)          ST Programmer's Manual           TEXINDEX(1)



NAME
     texindex - create index files from raw indices created by
     TeX from the first run on texinfo file.

SYNOPSIS
     texindex [ -o <name> ] [ -k ] file ...

DESCRIPTION
     Running TeX typesetting program on texinfo file will usually
     produce raw indices which have to be re-sorted and properly
     re-formatted for an inclusion of a final run of TeX.  This
     is done by texindex program.  Its input files by default
     will have names with two letter suffixes so it is usually
     enough to use the command in a form `texinfo *.??'.  This
     will create output files with three letter suffixes derived
     by adding trailing `s' and which be included in the next run
     of TeX automatically.  Using non-default names may require
     more work.  Giving to texindex a file which is not a raw
     index is supposed to be harmless.

OPTIONS
     The following options are available.

     -o   store output in a named file.

     -k   keep intermediate results.

SEE ALSO
     tex(l), makeinfo(l).

BUGS
     When default names for input files are not used and OS does
     not allow for more than three letters in file suffixes then
     texinfo tries hard to be smart about derived file names but
     a resulting mess may need some untangling.

     There is no check if a derived output file name does not
     conflict with something already existing.  In such case it
     is assumed that these are remains of the previous run of
     texinfo and they will be over-written with a new output.
