INSTALL-INFO(1)                  User Commands                 INSTALL-INFO(1)

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 col-
              umn COL.
       --debug
              report what is being done.
       --delete
              delete existing  entries  for  INFO-FILE  from  DIR-FILE;  don't
              insert any new entries.
       --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 corre-
              sponding 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.
       --section R SEC
              equivalent to --regex=R --section=SEC --add-once.
       --silent
              suppress warnings.
       --test suppress updating of DIR-FILE.
       --version
