|
|
<para>The info program reads Info documents, usually contained in the
|
|
/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></sect3>

|
|
<sect3><title>install-info</title>
|
|
<para>The install-info program updates the info entries. When the info
|
|
program is run 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 info files are removed manually, it is also necessary
|
|
to delete the topic in the index file as well. This program is used for
|
|
that. It also works the other way around when info documents are
|
|
added.</para></sect3>

|
<sect3><title>makeinfo</title>
|
|
<para>The makeinfo program translates Texinfo source documents into various
|
|
formats. Available formats are: info files, plain text and HTML.</para></sect3>
