NAME

       ginstall-info - update info/dir entries

SYNOPSIS

       ginstall-info [OPTION]... [INFO-FILE [DIR-FILE]]

DESCRIPTION

       Add  or  remove  entries  in  INFO-FILE  from  the Info directory DIR-FILE.  INFO-FILE and
       DIR-FILE are required unless the --info-file or --dir-file  (or  --info-dir)  options  are
       given, respectively.

OPTIONS

       --add-once
              add only to first matching section, not all.

       --align=COL
              start description of new entries at column COL.

       --calign=COL
              format second and subsequent description lines to start at column COL.

       --debug
              report what is being done.

       --delete
              delete existing entries for INFO-FILE from DIR-FILE; don't insert any new entries.

       --description=TEXT
              the  description  of  the  entry  is  TEXT;  used  with the --name option to become
              synonymous with the --entry option.

       --dir-file=NAME
              specify file name  of  Info  directory  file;  equivalent  to  using  the  DIR-FILE
              argument.

       --dry-run
              same as --test.

       --entry=TEXT
              insert  TEXT  as  an  Info directory entry, overriding any corresponding entry from
              DIR-FILE.  TEXT is written as an Info menu item line followed

              by zero or more extra lines starting with whitespace.

              If you specify more than one entry, all  are  added.   If  you  don't  specify  any
              entries, they are determined

              from information in the Info file itself.

       --help display this help and exit.

       --info-dir=DIR
              same as --dir-file=DIR/dir.

       --info-file=FILE
              specify  Info  file  to install in the directory; equivalent to using the INFO-FILE
              argument.

       --item=TEXT
              same as --entry=TEXT.

       --keep-old
              do not replace entries, or remove empty sections.

       --maxwidth, --max-width=COL
              wrap description at column COL.

       --menuentry=TEXT
              same as --name=TEXT.

       --name=TEXT
              the name of the entry is TEXT; used with --description to  become  synonymous  with
              the --entry option.

       --no-indent
              do not format new entries in the DIR file.

       --quiet
              suppress warnings.

       --regex=R
              put  this  file's  entries  in  all  sections  that  match the regular expression R
              (ignoring case).

       --remove
              same as --delete.

       --remove-exactly
              only remove if the info file name matches exactly; suffixes such as .info  and  .gz
              are not ignored.

       --section=SEC
              put entries in section SEC of the directory.  If you specify more than one section,
              all the entries

              are added in each of the sections.

              If you don't specify any sections, they are determined

              from information in the Info file itself.

       --section R SEC
              equivalent to --regex=R --section=SEC --add-once.

       --silent
              suppress warnings.

       --test suppress updating of DIR-FILE.

       --version
              display version information and exit.
