Juste one question: should I use -V for
version and -v for verbose,
I think it is more common to have -v for verbose and -V for version.
In particular, since tlmgr, install-tl, etc., use -v for verbose, I vote
that texdoc do that too.
most users are a bit confused with things like TEXMFHOME the first
time they see it
Definitely.
Probably -v should include the output of -f,
Thanks. It would have helped me when trying to (re)figure out these
things when I moved computers recently.
but I still think a separate -f will be less disturbing for some
users
Ok, sounds reasonable.
Thanks,
Karl
