texdef – Display the definitions of TeX commands
This (Perl) script displays the definitions of (La)TeX
command sequences/macros. Various options allow the selection
of the used class as well as package files and other factors
that may influence the definition (before/after the preamble,
inside an environment, …).
The script creates a temporary TeX file which is then compiled
using (La)TeX to find the ‘\meaning’ of
the command sequence. The result is formatted and presented to
the user. Length or number command sequences (dimensions,
\char…, count registers, …) are recognized and
the contained value is also shown (using \the). Special
definitions like protected macros are also recognized and the
underlying macros are shown as well.
The script will show plain TeX definitions by default. LaTeX and
ConTeXt are supported, including flavours (pdf(La)TeX, Lua(La)TeX,
Xe(La)TeX, …). The flavour can be selected using a command
line option, or via the script name: latexdef will
use LaTeX as default, etc.
