info - read Info documents

Description

       Read documentation in Info format.

   Frequently-usedoptions:-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

       --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.

       info emacs buffers
              select buffers menu entry in emacs manual

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

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

              show file ./foo.info, not searching dir

       The full documentation for info is maintained as a Texinfo manual.   If  the  info  program  is  properly
       installed at your site, the command

              infoinfo

       should  give  you  access  to  the  complete  manual.   (Or, if you have Emacs, M-x info will lead to the
       manual.)
