kpathsea: Path searching

 
 5 Path searching
 ****************
 
 This chapter describes the generic path searching mechanism Kpathsea
 provides.  For information about searching for particular file types
 (e.g., TeX fonts), see the next chapter.
 
    This section, with minor differences, has been translated into
 several other languages (Chinese, Spanish, Russian, Japanese, French,
 German, ...) as part of the TeX Live guide; see
 <https://tug.org/texlive/doc.html> for links.
