NAME

7

SYNOPSIS

9       install-info [OPTION]... [INFO-FILE [DIR-FILE]]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Add or remove entries in INFO-FILE from the Info directory DIR-FILE.
13

OPTIONS

15       --debug
16              report what is being done.
17
18       --delete
19              delete  existing  entries  for  INFO-FILE  from  DIR-FILE; don't
20              insert any new entries.
21
22       --description=TEXT
23              the description of the entry  is  TEXT;  used  with  the  --name
24              option to become synonymous with the --entry option.
25
26       --dir-file=NAME
27              specify  file  name  of Info directory file; equivalent to using
28              the DIR-FILE argument.
29
30       --dry-run
31              same as --test.
32
33       --entry=TEXT
34              insert TEXT as an Info directory entry.  TEXT is written  as  an
35              Info menu item line followed
36
37              by zero or more extra lines starting with whitespace.
38
39              If you specify more than one entry, all are added.  If you don't
40              specify any entries, they are determined
41
42              from information in the Info file itself.
43
44              When removing, TEXT specifies the entry to remove.  TEXT is only
45              removed  as  a  last resort, if the entry as determined from the
46              Info file is not present, and the  basename  of  the  Info  file
47              isn't found either.
48
49       --help display this help and exit.
50
51       --info-dir=DIR
52              same as --dir-file=DIR/dir.
53
54       --info-file=FILE
55              specify  Info  file  to  install in the directory; equivalent to
56              using the INFO-FILE argument.
57
58       --item=TEXT
59              same as --entry=TEXT.
60
61       --keep-old
62              do not replace entries, or remove empty sections.
63
64       --menuentry=TEXT
65              same as --name=TEXT.
66
67       --name=TEXT
68              the name of the entry is TEXT; used with --description to become
69              synonymous with the --entry option.
70
71       --no-indent
72              do not format new entries in the DIR file.
73
74       --quiet
75              suppress warnings.
76
77       --regex=R
78              put  this  file's entries in all sections that match the regular
79              expression R (ignoring case).
80
81       --remove
82              same as --delete.
83
84       --remove-exactly
85              only remove if the info file name matches exactly; suffixes such
86              as .info and .gz are not ignored.
87
88       --section=SEC
89              put  entries  in  section  SEC of the directory.  If you specify
90              more than one section, all the entries
91
92              are added in each of the sections.
93
94              If you don't specify any sections, they are determined
95
96              from information in the Info file itself.
97
98       --section R SEC
99              equivalent to --regex=R --section=SEC --add-once.
100
101       --silent
102              suppress warnings.
103
