NAME

       update-auctex-elisp - Update AUCTeX automatically generated TeX macros and LaTeX styles data

SYNOPSIS

       update-auctex-elisp [--daemon] [--no-act] [FLAVOR ...]

DESCRIPTION

       The  update-auctex-elisp script updates the automatically generated TeX and LaTeX data used by AUCTeX and
       stored in /var/lib/auctex/<FLAVOR>, where <FLAVOR> stands for any valid installed Emacs flavor.

       It is called automatically by the Debian auctex package (via dpkg triggers) whenever new  (La)TeX  macros
       and  style  files  are installed in the TeX and METAFONT system trees; beside, it is called on GNU AUCTeX
       and GNU Emacs flavor upgrades and installations, to ensure up to date parsing.  It may and should also be
       called manually after additions to the local TeX and METAFONT system tree.

       If no arguments are specified, update-auctex-elisp caters to every supported GNU Emacs  flavor  installed
       on the system; else it updates only the specified flavors, if they are installed.
