NAME

       mflua,  mflua-nowin,  mfluajit, mfluajit-nowin - implementation of META-FONT with Lua embedded for better
       extraction of information from METAFONT.

SYNOPSIS

       mflua [OPTION]... [MFNAME[.mf]] [COMMANDS]
       mflua [OPTION]... FIRST-LINE
       mflua [OPTION]... &BASE ARGS

DESCRIPTION

       Run MFLua on MFNAME, usually creating MFNAME.tfm and MFNAME.NNNNgf, where NNNN is the resolution  of  the
       specified  mode  (2602 by default).  Any following COMMANDS are processed as Metafont input, after MFNAME
       is read.  If the first line of MFNAME is %&BASE, and BASE is an existing .base file, use  it.   Else  use
       `NAME.base', where NAME is the program invocation name, most commonly `mf'.

       Alternatively,  if  the  first  non-option  argument  begins  with  a backslash, interpret all non-option
       arguments as a line of Metafont input.

       Alternatively, if the first non-option argument begins with a &, the next word is taken as  the  BASE  to
       read, overriding all else.  Any remaining arguments are processed as above.

       If no arguments or options are specified, prompt for input.

OPTIONS

       -base=BASENAME use BASENAME instead of program name or a %& line

       [-no]-file-line-error disable/enable file:line:error style messages

       -halt-on-error stop processing at the first error

       -ini be inimf, for dumping bases; this is implicitly true if the program name is `inimf'

       -interaction=STRING set interaction mode (STRING=batchmode/nonstopmode/scrollmode/errorstopmode)

       -jobname=STRING set the job name to STRING

       -kpathsea-debug=NUMBER  set path searching debugging flags according to the bits of NUMBER

       [-no]-mktex=FMT disable/enable mktexFMT generation (FMT=mflua)

       -output-directory=DIR   use existing DIR as the directory to write files in

       [-no]-parse-first-line disable/enable parsing of first line of input file

       -progname=STRING set program (and base) name to STRING

       -recorder enable filename recorder

       -translate-file=TCXNAME use the TCX file TCXNAME
