What does the notation usepackage[table,xcdraw]{xcolor} mean? Which package arguments into which?












3















I saw an argument in a file that displayed:



usepackage[table,xcdraw]{xcolor}


I am a bit confused what is getting parsed into which. It seems that the material in are usually options for xcolor. But in this case they are packages. What does this mean exactly?






tables color

          That's correct.




          But in this case they are packages.





          • I'm not aware of LaTeX packages called table or xcdraw.



          • The option table instructs LaTeX to load the colortbl package in a way that maximizes its compatibility with the xcolor package. Aside: It's a mistake to load the xcolor and colortbl packages independently.



            For more information, see Table 1 in the user guide of the xcolor package.



          • Quoting from p. 23 of the package's user guide: If the option xcdraw is set, PostScript commands will be used to draw frames and color boxes if the dvips driver is set, while PDF code will be used if the document is compiled with pdftex or dvipdfm. The opposite of xcdraw is noxcdraw; it's the default. If noxcdraw is in effect, driver-independent code is used to draw frames and color boxes.

            It seems that the material in are usually options for xcolor.




            That's correct.




            But in this case they are packages.





            • I'm not aware of LaTeX packages called table or xcdraw.



            • The option table instructs LaTeX to load the colortbl package in a way that maximizes its compatibility with the xcolor package. Aside: It's a mistake to load the xcolor and colortbl packages independently.



              For more information, see Table 1 in the user guide of the xcolor package.



            • Quoting from p. 23 of the package's user guide: If the option xcdraw is set, PostScript commands will be used to draw frames and color boxes if the dvips driver is set, while PDF code will be used if the document is compiled with pdftex or dvipdfm. The opposite of xcdraw is noxcdraw; it's the default. If noxcdraw is in effect, driver-independent code is used to draw frames and color boxes.

                    flock() on closed filehandle LOCK_FILE at /usr/bin/apt-mirror

                    Image
                    0 I recently upgraded an Ubuntu 16.04 virtual machine to 18.04. I regularly use this VM to run apt-mirror at school on their high-speed internet, then rsync these files to my rack-mount server at home for updating multiple computers at home without wasting the tiny amount of bandwidth I have there. Since updating I can't get apt-mirror to run on my VM. It keeps giving the error: flock() on closed filehandle LOCK_FILE at /usr/bin/apt-mirror line 214 immediately followed by: apt-mirror is already running, exiting at /usr/bin/apt-mirror line 217 apt-mirror is NOT running, and does not have a cron job. I've tried rebooting, and even looked for the old-style lockfile to delete, but I guess that method is no longer used. Is there some way to force unlock this so I can run apt-mirror? UPDATE: So... I f...
