NAME

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.

--raw-escapes

don't remove ANSI escapes from man pages.

--restore=FILENAME

--show-options, --usage

go to command-line options node.

--subnodes

recursively output menu items.

--vi-keys

--version

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.

EXAMPLES

info

show top-level dir menu

info emacs

start at emacs node from top-level dir

info emacs buffers

start at buffers node within emacs manual

info --show-options emacs

start at node with emacs' command line options

info -f ./foo.info

show file ./foo.info, not searching dir
