14       --dir-file (or --info-dir) options are given, respectively.
15

OPTIONS

18              add only to first matching section, not all.

21              start description of new entries at column COL.
22
23       --calign=COL

29
30       --delete

32              insert any new entries.
33
34       --description=TEXT
35              the  description  of  the  entry  is  TEXT; used with the --name
36              option to become synonymous with the --entry option.
37
38       --dir-file=NAME
39              specify file name of Info directory file;  equivalent  to  using
40              the DIR-FILE argument.
41
42       --dry-run
43              same as --test.
44
45       --entry=TEXT
46              insert  TEXT  as  an Info directory entry, overriding any corre‐
47              sponding entry from DIR-FILE.  TEXT is written as an  Info  menu
48              item line followed
49
50              by zero or more extra lines starting with whitespace.
51
52              If you specify more than one entry, all are added.  If you don't

55              from information in the Info file itself.

67              same as --entry=TEXT.
68
69       --keep-old

97              as .info and .gz are not ignored.
98
99       --section=SEC
100              put entries in section SEC of the  directory.   If  you  specify
101              more than one section, all the entries
102
103              are added in each of the sections.
104
105              If you don't specify any sections, they are determined
