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
	    display this help and exit

     --index-search=STRING
	    go to node pointed by index entry STRING

     -n, --node=NODENAME
	    specify nodes in first visited Info file

     -o, --output=FILE
	    output selected nodes to FILE

     --subnodes
	    recursively output menu items

     -v, --variable VAR=VALUE
	    assign VALUE to Info variable VAR

     --version
	    display version information and exit

     -w, --where, --location
	    print physical location of Info file

     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  remaining
     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.

EXAMPLES
     info   show top-level dir menu

     info info-stnd

     info emacs
	    start at emacs node from top-level dir

     info emacs buffers
	    select buffers menu entry in emacs manual

     info emacs -n Files
	    start at Files node within emacs manual

     info '(emacs)Files'
	    alternative way to start at Files node

     info --subnodes -o out.txt emacs
	    dump entire emacs manual to out.txt
