 NAME
      texhash - rebuild TeX-inputfiles-database


 SYNOPSIS
      texhash


 DESCRIPTION
      The binaries of teTeX use the file $TEXMF/ls-R as database for the
      locations of common input files. After adding new input files (fonts,
      style-files etc.) it is strongly recommended to run texhash to update
      the database.


      The teTeX binaries may find files even if they are not in the database
      (as long as the !!-prefix to inhibit disk searching is not given for
      the relevant path component), but it will need very much


      Pixel fonts that are calculated during compilation of a tex or dvi
      file are added automatically to the database if possible.
      Nevertheless, you should call texhash from time to time (e.g. through
      the cron-daemon ) to update the file completely.
