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. INFO-FILE and DIR-FILE are required unless the –info-file or –dir-file (or –info-dir) options are given, respectively.

OPTIONS

–add-once: add only to first matching section, not all.
*–align*=/COL/: start description of new entries at column COL.
*–calign*=/COL/: format second and subsequent description lines to start at column COL.
–debug: report what is being done.
–delete: delete existing entries for INFO-FILE from DIR-FILE; don't insert any new entries.
*–defsection*=/TEXT/: like –section, but only use TEXT if no sections are present in INFO-FILE (replacing "Miscellaneous").
*–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, overriding any corresponding entry from DIR-FILE. TEXT is written 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.
–help: display this help and exit.
*–info-dir*=/DIR/: same as *–dir-file*=/DIR//dir.
*–info-file*=/FILE/: specify Info file to install in the directory; equivalent to using the INFO-FILE argument.
*–item*=/TEXT/: same as *–entry*=/TEXT/.
–keep-old: do not replace entries, or remove empty sections.
–maxwidth, *–max-width*=/COL/: wrap description at column COL.
*–menuentry*=/TEXT/: same as *–name*=/TEXT/.
*–name*=/TEXT/: the name of the entry is TEXT; used with –description to become synonymous with the –entry option.
–no-indent: do not format new entries in the DIR file.
–quiet: suppress warnings.
*–regex*=/R/: put this file's entries in all sections that match the regular expression R (ignoring case).
–remove: same as –delete.
–remove-exactly: only remove if the info file name matches exactly; suffixes such as .info and .gz are not ignored.
*–section*=/SEC/: put entries in section SEC of the directory. If you specify more than one section, all the entries
are added in each of the sections.: If you don't specify any sections, they are determined
from information in the Info file itself;: if nothing is available there, the –defsection value is used; if that is not specified, the final default is "Miscellaneous".
–section R SEC: equivalent to –regex*=/R/ *–section*=/SEC/ *–add-once.
–silent: suppress warnings.
–test: suppress updating of DIR-FILE.
–version: display version information and exit.
