NAME
info - read Info documents
SYNOPSIS
info [OPTION]... [MENU-ITEM...]
DESCRIPTION
Read documentation in Info format.
Frequently-used options:
-a, --all
use all matching manuals
-k, --apropos=STRING
look up STRING in all indices of all manuals
-d, --directory=DIR
add DIR to INFOPATH
-f, --file=MANUAL
specify Info manual to visit
-h, --help

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 re-
maining 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.
