NAME
install-info - update info/dir entries
SYNOPSIS
install-info [OPTION]... [INFO-FILE [DIR-FILE]]
DESCRIPTION
Add or remove entries in INFO-FILE from the Info directory
DIR-FILE.
OPTIONS
--debug
report what is being done.
--delete
delete existing entries for INFO-FILE from DIR-FILE;
don't insert any new entries.
--description=TEXT
the description of the entry is TEXT; used with the
--name option to become synonymous with the --entry
option.
--dir-file=NAME
specify file name of Info directory file; equivalent to
using the DIR-FILE argument.
--dry-run
same as --test.
--entry=TEXT
insert TEXT as an Info directory entry. TEXT is writ-
ten as an Info menu item line followed
by zero or more extra lines starting with whitespace.
If you specify more than one entry, all are added. If
you don't specify any entries, they are determined
from information in the Info file itself.
When removing, TEXT specifies the entry to remove.
TEXT is only removed as a last resort, if the entry as
determined from the Info file is not present, and the
basename of the Info file isn't found either.
--help
display this help and exit.
--info-dir=DIR
same as --dir-file=DIR/dir.
