The info program reads Info documents, usually contained in your
|
||
|
|
/usr/doc/info directory. Info documents are like man(ual) pages, but
|
||
|
|
they tend to be more in depth than just explaining the options to a
|
||
|
|
program.

<para>
|

|
The install-info program updates the info entries. When you run the info
|
||
|
|
program a list with available topics (ie: available info documents) will
|
||
|
|
be presented. The install-info program is used to maintain this list of
|
||
|
|
available topics. If you decice to remove info files manually, you need
|
||
|
|
to delete the topic in the index file as well. This program is used for
|
||
|
|
that. It also works the other way around when you add info documents.
