## DESCRIPTION
       This  manual  page  documents  briefly the **update-texmf-config **command.  This manual page was
       written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original script  was  designed  for
       Debian packaging system.

       **update-texmf-config **is a shell script that is called from maintainer scripts shipping new map
       files, hyphenation patterns, or any other TeX input file.

       The  script  simply  activates  the  respective trigger, namely texmf-map for font map files,
       texmf-hyphen for hyphenation patterns, and texmf-format for format updates. All the necessary
       action will then be carried out by the tex-common package.

## OPTIONS
       **map    **Activate the texmf-map trigger.

       **hyphen **Activate the texmf-hyphen trigger.

       **format **Activate the texmf-format trigger.
