I am using a command line parameter to change the generated output. Is
it also possible to set the output file name depending on the
parameter?
--result=somename
That is on the command line. Then you need to give two parameters. Not
a very big problem, but I would prefer one parameter. I like DRY. Less
that can go wrong.
not possible but you can access the outputfilename at the tex and lua end
What do mean with that?
just grep for outputfile in lua and mkiv files
I have now (I need to use jobfilename, because I get an error when I
use outputfilename):
    \def\outputfilename{\jobfilename -\getvariable{meta}{type}}
    \def\outputfilenametwo{\jobfilename -\getvariable{meta}{type}}

When displaying outputfilenametwo I see that it is filled with the
correct value, but the output is still written to the same file.
