 NAME
      append_db - add single entry to TeX-inputfiles-database


 SYNOPSIS
      append_db filename location


 DESCRIPTION
      The binaries of teTeX use the file $TEXMF/ls-R as database for the
      locations of common input files.  append_db is used internally by
      MakeTeXTFM and MakeTeXPK to add a freshly created font to the
      database.


      The teTeX binaries will find files even if they are not in the
      database (as long as they are in the standard search paths), but it
      will need very much




 SEE ALSO
      ls-R(5), texhash(1).
