NAME

info - read Info documents

SYNOPSIS

info [OPTION]... [MENU-ITEM...]

DESCRIPTION

Read documentation in Info format.

OPTIONS

--apropos=SUBJECT look up SUBJECT in all indices of all manuals. --directory=DIR add DIR to INFOPATH. --dribble=FILENAME remember user keystrokes in FILENAME. --file=FILENAME specify Info file to visit. --help display this help and exit. --index-search=STRING go to node pointed by index entry STRING. --node=NODENAME specify nodes in first visited Info file. --output=FILENAME output selected nodes to FILENAME. --restore=FILENAME read initial keystrokes from FILENAME. --show-options, --usage go to command-line options node. --subnodes recursively output menu items. --vi-keys use vi-like and less-like key bindings. --version display version information and exit. The first non-option argument, if present, is the menu entry to start from; it is searched for in all `dir' files along INFOPATH. If it is not present, info merges all `dir' files and shows the result. Any remaining arguments are treated as the names of menu items relative to the initial node visited.
