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.
