12.14.16 \ProvidesFile

Synopsis:

\ProvidesFile{filename}[info-text]

Declare a file other than the main class and package files, such as a configuration or font definition file. It writes the given information to the log file, essentially like \ProvidesClass and \ProvidesPackage (see the previous section).

For example:

\ProvidesFile{smcmemo.cfg}[2017/10/12 config file for smcmemo.cls]

writes this into the log:

File: smcmemo.cfg 2017/10/12 config file for smcmemo.cls
