mmmmaaaakkkkeeeeiiiinnnnffffoooo is a program for converting _t_e_x_i_n_f_o files into _i_n_f_o
files. Texinfo is a documentation language which allows a
printed manual and online documentation (an info file) to be
produced from a single source file. _i_n_f_o files contain
structured markers to permit easy online navigation of the
documentat.
See _T_e_x_i_n_f_o, _t_h_e _G_N_U _D_o_c_u_m_e_n_t_a_t_i_o_n _F_o_r_m_a_t for details on how
to write a texinfo file.
OOOOPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNNSSSS
----IIII _d_i_r
Adds _d_i_r to the directory search list for finding files
that are included using the `@include' command. By de-
fault, mmmmaaaakkkkeeeeiiiinnnnffffoooo searches only the current directory.
----DDDD _v_a_r
Defines the texinfo flag _v_a_r. This is equivalent to
`@set _v_a_r' in the Texinfo file.
----UUUU _v_a_r
Makes the texinfo flag _v_a_r undefined. This is
equivalent to `@clear _v_a_r' in the Texinfo file.
--------eeeerrrrrrrroooorrrr----lllliiiimmmmiiiitttt _n_u_m | ----eeee _n_u_m
Sets the maximum number of errors that mmmmaaaakkkkeeeeiiiinnnnffffoooo prints
before exiting (on the assumption that continuing would
be useless). The default number of errors that can be
printed before mmmmaaaakkkkeeeeiiiinnnnffffoooo gives up on processing the in-
put file is 100.

--------ffffiiiillllllll----ccccoooolllluuuummmmnnnn _n_u_m | ----ffff _n_u_m
Specifies the maximum right-hand edge of a line. Para-
graphs that are filled will be filled to this width.
The default value for fill-column is 72.
--------ffffoooooooottttnnnnooootttteeee----ssssttttyyyylllleeee _s_t_y_l_e | ----ssss _s_t_y_l_e
Sets the footnote style to _s_t_y_l_e. _s_t_y_l_e should either
be `sssseeeeppppaaaarrrraaaatttteeee' to have mmmmaaaakkkkeeeeiiiinnnnffffoooo create a separate node
containing the footnotes for the current node, or `eeeennnndddd'
to have mmmmaaaakkkkeeeeiiiinnnnffffoooo place the footnotes at the end of the
current node.
--------nnnnoooo----hhhheeeeaaaaddddeeeerrrrssss
Do not generate menus or node headers. This option is
useful together with the `--------oooouuuuttttppppuuuutttt _f_i_l_e' and `--------nnnnoooo----
sssspppplllliiiitttt' options to produce a simple formatted file
(suitable for printing on a dumb printer) from Texinfo
source. If you do not have TeX, these options may al-
low you to get readable hard copy.
--------nnnnoooo----sssspppplllliiiitttt
Suppress the splitting stage of mmmmaaaakkkkeeeeiiiinnnnffffoooo. In general,
large output files are split into smaller subfiles,
each one approximately 50k bytes. If you specify
--------nnnnoooo----sssspppplllliiiitttt, mmmmaaaakkkkeeeeiiiinnnnffffoooo will not split up the output file.
--------nnnnoooo----vvvvaaaalllliiiiddddaaaatttteeee | --------nnnnoooo----ppppooooiiiinnnntttteeeerrrr----vvvvaaaalllliiiiddddaaaatttteeee
Suppress the validation phase of mmmmaaaakkkkeeeeiiiinnnnffffoooo. Normally,
after the file is processed, some consistency checks
are made to ensure that cross references can be
resolved, etc.
--------nnnnoooo----wwwwaaaarrrrnnnn
Suppress the output of warning messages. This does _n_o_t
suppress the output of error messages, simply warnings.
You might want this if the file you are creating has
texinfo examples in it, and the nodes that are refer-
enced don't actually exist.
--------nnnnoooo----nnnnuuuummmmbbbbeeeerrrr----ffffoooooooottttnnnnooootttteeeessss
Supress the automatic numbering of footnotes. The de-
fault is to number each footnote sequentially in a sin-
gle node, resetting the current footnote number to 1 at
the start of each node.
--------nnnnuuuummmmbbbbeeeerrrr----ffffoooooooottttnnnnooootttteeeessss

Explicitly request that footnotes be numbered, as they
are by default.
--------oooouuuuttttppppuuuutttt _f_i_l_e | ----oooo _f_i_l_e
Write the output in the _f_i_l_e specified, instead of in
the name specified in the texinfo file itself. _f_i_l_e
can be the special token `----', which specifies standard
output.
--------ppppaaaarrrraaaaggggrrrraaaapppphhhh----iiiinnnnddddeeeennnntttt _n_u_m | ----pppp _n_u_m
Sets the paragraph indentation to _n_u_m. The value of
_n_u_m is interpreted as follows:
A value of 0 means don't change the existing indenta-
tion at the starts of paragraphs.
A value less than zero means indent paragraph starts to
column zero by deleting the existing indentation.
A value greater than zero is the number of spaces to
leave at the front of each paragraph start.
--------rrrreeeeffffeeeerrrreeeennnncccceeee----lllliiiimmmmiiiitttt _n_u_m | ----rrrr _n_u_m
Issue a warning if any single node is referenced more
than _n_u_m times in the info file. The default _n_u_m is
1000.
--------vvvveeeerrrrbbbboooosssseeee
Causes mmmmaaaakkkkeeeeiiiinnnnffffoooo to inform you as to what it is doing.
Normally mmmmaaaakkkkeeeeiiiinnnnffffoooo only outputs text if there are errors
or warnings.
--------vvvveeeerrrrssssiiiioooonnnn | ----VVVV
Prints out the version number of mmmmaaaakkkkeeeeiiiinnnnffffoooo.
