SYNOPSIS


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

DESCRIPTION


Read documentation in Info format.

OPTIONS


-a, --all
use all matching manuals.

-k, --apropos=STRING
look up STRING in all indices of all manuals.

-d, --directory=DIR
add DIR to INFOPATH.

--dribble=FILE
remember user keystrokes in FILENAME.

-f, --file=MANUAL
specify Info manual to visit.

-h, --help
display this help and exit.

--index-search=STRING
go to node pointed by index entry STRING.

-n, --node=NODENAME
specify nodes in first visited Info file.

-o, --output=FILE
output selected nodes to FILE.

-R, --raw-escapes
output "raw" ANSI escapes (default).

--no-raw-escapes
output escapes as literal text.

--restore=FILE
read initial keystrokes from FILE.

-O, --show-options, --usage
go to command-line options node.

--strict-node-location
(for debugging) use Info file pointers as-is.

--subnodes
recursively output menu items.

-v, --variable VAR=VALUE
assign VALUE to Info variable VAR.

--vi-keys
use vi-like and less-like key bindings.

--version
display version information and exit.

-w, --where, --location
print physical location of Info file.

-x, --debug=NUMBER
set debugging level (-1 for all).

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.

For a summary of key bindings, type H within Info.
