info

INFO(1) 							   User Commands							   INFO(1)

NAME

       info - read Info documents

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       Read documentation in Info format.

   Frequently-used 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

       -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

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

       --subnodes
	      recursively output menu items

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

       --version
	      display version information and exit

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

       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.

EXAMPLES

       info   show top-level dir menu

       info info-stnd
	      show the manual for this Info program

       info emacs
	      start at emacs node from top-level dir

       info emacs buffers
	      select buffers menu entry in emacs manual

       info emacs -n Files
	      start at Files node within emacs manual

       info '(emacs)Files'
	      alternative way to start at Files node

       info --show-options emacs
	      start at node with emacs' command line options

       info --subnodes -o out.txt emacs
	      dump entire emacs manual to out.txt

       info -f ./foo.info
	      show file ./foo.info, not searching dir
