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.
