OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       --delete

	      insert any new entries.

       --dir-file=NAME
	      specify file name of Info directory file.  This is equivalent to
	      using the DIR-FILE argument.

       --entry=TEXT
	      insert TEXT as an Info directory entry.  TEXT  should  have  the
	      form  of	an  Info  menu item line plus zero or more extra lines
	      starting with whitespace.  If you specify more than  one	entry,
	      they  are all added.  If you don't specify any entries, they are
	      determined from information in the Info file itself.

       --help display this help and exit.

       --info-file=FILE
	      specify Info file to install in the directory.  This is  equivalent
 to using the INFO-FILE argument.

       --info-dir=DIR
	      same as --dir-file=DIR/dir.

       --item=TEXT
	      same  as	--entry  TEXT.	 An Info directory entry is actually a
	      menu item.

       --quiet
	      suppress warnings.

       --remove
	      same as --delete.

       --section=SEC
	      put this file's entries in section SEC of the directory.	If you
	      specify more than one section, all the entries are added in each
	      of the sections.	If you don't specify any  sections,  they  are
	      determined from information in the Info file itself.

       --version
	      display version information and exit.
