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!
