SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       install-info [OPTION]... [INFO-FILE [DIR-FILE]]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       Install  or  delete dir entries from INFO-FILE in the Info
       directory file DIR-FILE.

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       --delete
              delete existing entries  for  INFO-FILE  from  DIRFILE;
 don't 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.
