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

--subnodes
recursively output menu items

-v, --variable VAR=VALUE

--version

-w, --where, --location

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.
