NAME
    info - read Info documents

SYNOPSIS
    info [OPTION]... [MENU-ITEM...]

DESCRIPTION
    Read documentation in Info format.

OPTIONS
    --apropos=STRING
    look up STRING in all indices of all manuals.

    -d, --directory=DIR
    add DIR to INFOPATH.

    --dribble=FILENAME
    remember user keystrokes in FILENAME.

    -f, --file=FILENAME
    specify Info file 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=FILENAME
    output selected nodes to FILENAME.

    -R, --raw-escapes
    don't remove ANSI escapes from man pages.

    --restore=FILENAME
    read initial keystrokes from FILENAME.

    -O, --show-options, --usage
    go to command-line options node.

    --subnodes
    recursively output menu items.

    --vi-keys
    use vi-like and less-like key bindings.

    --version
    display version information and exit.

    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.

EXAMPLES
    info  show top-level dir menu

    info emacs
    start at emacs node from top-level dir

    info emacs buffers
    start at buffers node within emacs manual

    info --show-options emacs
    start at node with emacs' command line options

    info -f ./foo.info
    show file ./foo.info, not searching dir
