The GNU project has a hypertext system called _I_n_f_o which
allows the same source file to be either printed as a paper
manual, or viewed using iiiinnnnffffoooo.... It is possible to use the iiiinnnnffffoooo
program from inside Emacs, or to use the stand-alone version
described here. This manual page gives a brief summary of
its capabilities.
OOOOPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNNSSSS
--------ddddiiiirrrreeeeccccttttoooorrrryyyy ddddiiiirrrreeeeccccttttoooorrrryyyy----ppppaaaatttthhhh
Add ddddiiiirrrreeeeccccttttoooorrrryyyy----ppppaaaatttthhhh to the list of directory paths
searched when iiiinnnnffffoooo needs to find a file. You may issue
--------ddddiiiirrrreeeeccccttttoooorrrryyyy multiple times. Alternatively, you may
specify a value for the environment variable IIIINNNNFFFFOOOOPPPPAAAATTTTHHHH;;;;
if --------ddddiiiirrrreeeeccccttttoooorrrryyyy is not given, the value of IIIINNNNFFFFOOOOPPPPAAAATTTTHHHH is
used. The value of IIIINNNNFFFFOOOOPPPPAAAATTTTHHHH is a colon separated list
of directory names. If you do not supply either
IIIINNNNFFFFOOOOPPPPAAAATTTTHHHH or --------ddddiiiirrrreeeeccccttttoooorrrryyyy----ppppaaaatttthhhh,,,, iiiinnnnffffoooo uses a default path.
----ffff ffffiiiilllleeeennnnaaaammmmeeee
Specify a particular iiiinnnnffffoooo file to visit. By default,
iiiinnnnffffoooo visits the file ddddiiiirrrr;;;; if you use this option, iiiinnnnffffoooo
will start with ((((FFFFIIIILLLLEEEENNNNAAAAMMMMEEEE))))TTTToooopppp as the first file and
node.
----nnnn nnnnooooddddeeeennnnaaaammmmeeee
Specify a particular node to visit in the initial file
that iiiinnnnffffoooo loads. This is especially useful in
conjunction with --------ffffiiiilllleeee.... You may specify --------nnnnooooddddeeee
multiple times.
----oooo ffffiiiilllleeee
Direct output to ffffiiiilllleeee instead of starting an
interactive iiiinnnnffffoooo session.
----hhhh Produce a relatively brief description of the available
iiiinnnnffffoooo options.
--------vvvveeeerrrrssssiiiioooonnnn
Print the version information of iiiinnnnffffoooo and exit.
mmmmeeeennnnuuuu----iiiitttteeeemmmm

iiiinnnnffffoooo treats its remaining arguments as the names of
menu items. The first argument is a menu item in the
initial node visited, while the second argument is a
menu item in the first argument's node. You can easily
move to the node of your choice by specifying the menu
names which describe the path to that node. For
example,
iiiinnnnffffoooo eeeemmmmaaaaccccssss bbbbuuuuffffffffeeeerrrrssss
first selects the menu item eeeemmmmaaaaccccssss in the node ((((ddddiiiirrrr))))TTTToooopppp,,,,
and then selects the menu item bbbbuuuuffffffffeeeerrrrssss in the node
((((eeeemmmmaaaaccccssss))))TTTToooopppp....
CCCCOOOOMMMMMMMMAAAANNNNDDDDSSSS
When in iiiinnnnffffoooo the following commands are available:
hhhh Invoke the Info tutorial.
???? Get a short summary of iiiinnnnffffoooo commands.
hhhh Select the iiiinnnnffffoooo node from the main directory; this is
much more complete than just using ????....
CCCCttttrrrrllll----gggg
Abort whatever you are doing.
CCCCttttrrrrllll----llll
Redraw the screen.
Selecting other nodes:
nnnn Move to the "next" node of this node.
pppp Move to the "previous" node of this node.
uuuu Move to this node's "up" node.
mmmm Pick a menu item specified by name. Picking a menu item
causes another node to be selected. You do not need to
type a complete nodename; if you type a few letters and
then a space or tab iiiinnnnffffoooo will will try to fill in the
rest of the nodename. If you ask for further completion
without typing any more characters you'll be given a
list of possibilities; you can also get the list with
????.... If you type a few characters and then hit return
iiiinnnnffffoooo will try to do a completion, and if it is ambigous
use the first possibility.
ffff Follow a cross reference. You are asked for the name of
the reference, using command completion as for mmmm....

Advanced commands:
qqqq Quit iiiinnnnffffoooo....
1111 Pick first item in node's menu.
2222 -------- 5555
Pick second ... fifth item in node's menu.
gggg Move to node specified by name. You may include a
filename as well, as ((((FFFFIIIILLLLEEEENNNNAAAAMMMMEEEE))))NNNNOOOODDDDEEEENNNNAAAAMMMMEEEE....
ssss Search through this iiiinnnnffffoooo file for a specified string,
and select the node in which the next occurrence is
found.
MMMM----xxxx pppprrrriiiinnnntttt----nnnnooooddddeeee
Pipe the contents of the current node through the
command in the environment variable IIIINNNNFFFFOOOO____PPPPRRRRIIIINNNNTTTT____CCCCOOOOMMMMMMMMAAAANNNNDDDD....
If the variable does not exist, the node is simply
piped to llllpppprrrr....
EEEENNNNVVVVIIIIRRRROOOONNNNMMMMEEEENNNNTTTT
