NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       info - read Info documents

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

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

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       Read documentation in Info format.

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       --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
	      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.

EXAMPLES    [Toc]    [Back]

       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
