NAME

6       install-info - update info/dir entries
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       --dir-file=NAME
23              specify file name of Info directory file.  This is equivalent to
24              using the DIR-FILE argument.
25
26       --entry=TEXT
27              insert  TEXT  as  an Info directory entry.  TEXT should have the
28              form of an Info menu item line plus zero  or  more  extra  lines
29              starting  with  whitespace.  If you specify more than one entry,
30              they are all added.  If you don't specify any entries, they  are
31              determined from information in the Info file itself.
32
33       --help display this help and exit.
34
35       --info-file=FILE
36              specify  Info file to install in the directory.  This is equiva‐
37              lent to using the INFO-FILE argument.
38
39       --info-dir=DIR
40              same as --dir-file=DIR/dir.
41
42       --item=TEXT
43              same as --entry TEXT.  An Info directory  entry  is  actually  a
44              menu item.
45
46       --quiet
47              suppress warnings.
48
49       --remove
50              same as --delete.
51
52       --remove-exactly
53              only  remove if the info file name matches exactly; .info and/or
54              .gz suffixes are not ignored.
55
56       --section=SEC
57              put this file's entries in section SEC of the directory.  If you
58              specify more than one section, all the entries are added in each
59              of the sections.  If you don't specify any  sections,  they  are
60              determined from information in the Info file itself.
61
62       --section-regex=R  if  an  entry  is  added  to a section that does not
63       exist,
64              look for a section matching  basic  regular  expression  R  (and
65              ignoring case) before starting a new section.
66
67       --test suppress updating of DIR-FILE.
68
69       --silent
70              suppress warnings.
71
72       --version
73              display version information and exit.
