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  convert  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!
