Ubuntu Manpage: info - read Info documents

NAME

       info - read Info documents

SYNOPSIS

       info [OPTION]... [MENU-ITEM...]

DESCRIPTION

       Read documentation in Info format.

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.

--dribble=FILE
remember user keystrokes in FILENAME.

-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.

-R, --raw-escapes
output "raw" ANSI escapes (default).

--no-raw-escapes
output escapes as literal text.

--restore=FILE
read initial keystrokes from FILE.

-O, --show-options, --usage
go to command-line options node.

--strict-node-location
(for debugging) use Info file pointers as-is.

--subnodes
recursively output menu items.

-v, --variable VAR=VALUE
assign VALUE to Info variable VAR.

--vi-keys
use vi-like and less-like key bindings.

--version
display version information and exit.

-w, --where, --location
print physical location of Info file.

-x, --debug=NUMBER
set debugging level (-1 for all).

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.
