info2man

INFO2MAN(1)						      General Commands Manual						       INFO2MAN(1)

NAME

       info2man - generate man pages from info documents

SYNOPSIS

       info2man info-file

DESCRIPTION

       info2man  converts a GNU info file to a man page.  It first generates a POD (Plain Old Documentation) file using info2pod(1), then converts
       this to a man page using pod2man(1).

       info-file should be the full path to the info file (probably in /usr/share/info or similar).

OPTIONS

       None.

NOTES

       The style of info documentation and man pages differs considerably.  Info documentation is generally written as a book, making full use	of
       chapters, hyperlinks, footnotes, and the like.  By contrast, man pages are often intended as something closer to a reference card.

       That said, many people prefer the interface used to view man pages (a normal pager) to the available info browsers.  This program will con-
       vert the form, but not the content; don't expect it to possess the artificial intelligence necessary to turn a lengthy interconnected  info
       file into a man page that is a model of conciseness!
