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

--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
