NAME
axinfo - an X info reader
SYNOPSIS
axinfo [ -toolkitoption ...] [ -tree ] [ -node node ] [ -rows rows ] [ file ]
DESCRIPTION
axinfo is an X Window System reader for info files (generated from GNU Texinfo source files) built using
the Athena Widget Set toolkit. It was specifically written for use with aXe and is not yet fully capable
of being used to browse info file directories. It can however be used to read a single info file at a
time by setting the infoPath resource to the location of the info file and specifying its name as an
argument. The name must be given in full, i.e. including the .info suffix, e.g. axinfo -xrm
'*infoPath:/usr/local/texinfo3.1' texi.info
axinfo has two windows: a text window, which is displayed by default, and an optional tree window which
shows the node hierarchy as a tree. Navigation of the information in the info file being read is
performed either by clicking on hypertext, i.e. sensitive, text in the text window, or by clicking on
node buttons in the tree window. The latter may provide more direct access to a particular node than the
former.
When the command line option -tree is used axinfo starts up displaying its tree window only. Specifying
the option is equivalent to setting the .tree resource
The command line option -node can be used to initially display some node other than `Top'. It
corresponds to the .node resource.
The option -rows specifies how many rows of text are to be displayed in the text window. It corresponds
to the *hyperwin.rows resource.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
axinfo is built around Baudouin Raoult's HyperWidget widget.
