  • NAME
      info - read Info documents
  • SYNOPSIS
      info [OPTION]... [MENU-ITEM...]
  • DESCRIPTION
      Read documentation in Info format.
  • OPTIONS
      -k, --apropos=STRING
      look up STRING in all indices of all manuals.
      -d, --directory=DIR
      add DIR to INFOPATH.
      --dribble=FILENAME
      remember user keystrokes in FILENAME.
      -f, --file=FILENAME
      specify Info file to visit.
      -h, --help
      display this help and exit.
      --index-search=STRING
      go to node pointed by index entry STRING.
      -n, --node=NODENAME
      specify nodes in first visited Info file.
      -o, --output=FILENAME
      output selected nodes to FILENAME.
      -R, --raw-escapes
      output "raw" ANSI escapes (default).
      --no-raw-escapes
      output escapes as literal text.
      --restore=FILENAME
      read initial keystrokes from FILENAME.
      -O, --show-options, --usage
      go to command-line options node.
      --subnodes
      recursively output menu items.
      --vi-keys
      use vi-like and less-like key bindings.
      --version
      display version information and exit.
      -w, --where, --location
      print physical location of Info file.

      The first non-option argument, if present, is the menu entry to start from; it is searched for in all `dir' files along INFOPATH. If it is not present, info merges all `dir' files and shows the result. Any remaining arguments are treated as the names of menu items relative to the initial node visited.

      For a summary of key bindings, type h within Info.
