-.SH NAME
-info \- GNU's hypertext system
-.SH SYNOPSIS
-.B info
-[
-.B \-\-option-name option-value
-]
-.B \menu-item...
-.SH COPYRIGHT

-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.LP
-The GNU project has a hypertext system called
-.I Info
-which allows the same source file to be either printed as a
-paper manual, or viewed using
-.B info.
-It is possible to use the
-.B info
-program from inside Emacs, or to use the stand-alone version described here.
-This manual page gives a brief summary of its capabilities.
-
-.SH OPTIONS
-.TP
-.B \-\-directory directory-path
-Add
-.B directory-path
-to the list of directory paths searched when
-.B info
-needs to find a file. You may issue
-.B \-\-directory
-multiple times.
-Alternatively, you may specify a value for the environment variable
-.B INFOPATH;
-if
-.B \-\-directory
-is not given, the value of
-.B INFOPATH
-is used. The value of
-.B INFOPATH
-is a colon separated list of directory names. If you do not supply either
-.B INFOPATH
-or
-.B \-\-directory-path,
-.B info
-uses a default path.
-.TP
-.B \-f filename
-Specify a particular
-.B info
-file to visit. By default,
-.B info
-visits
-the file
-.B dir;
-if you use this option,
-.B info
-will start with
-.B (FILENAME)Top
-as the first file and node.
-.TP
-.B \-n nodename
-Specify a particular node to visit in the initial file that
-.B info
-loads. This is especially useful in conjunction with
-.B \-\-file.
-You may specify
-.B \-\-node
-multiple times.
-.TP
-.B -o file
-Direct output to
-.B file
-instead of starting an interactive
-.B info
-session.
-.TP
-.B \-h
-Produce a relatively brief description of the available
-.B info
-options.
-.TP
-.B \-\-version
-Print the version information of
-.B info
-and exit.
-.TP
-.B menu-item
-.B info
-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,
-
-.B info emacs buffers
-
-first selects the menu item
-.B emacs
-in the node
-.B (dir)Top,
-and then selects the menu item
-.B buffers
-in the node
-.B (emacs)Top.
-.SH COMMANDS
-When in
-.B info
-the following commands are available:
-.TP
-.B h
-Invoke the Info tutorial.
-.TP
-.B ?
-Get a short summary of
-.B info
-commands.
-.TP
-.B h
-Select the
-.B info
-node from the main directory; this is much more complete than just
-using
-.B ?.
-.TP
-.B Ctrl-g
-Abort whatever you are doing.
-.TP
-.B Ctrl-l
-Redraw the screen.
-.PP
-Selecting other nodes:
-.TP
-.B n
-Move to the "next" node of this node.
-.TP
-.B p
-Move to the "previous" node of this node.
-.TP
-.B u
-Move to this node's "up" node.
-.TP
-.B m
-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
-.B info
-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
-.B ?.
-If you type a few characters and then hit return
-.B info
-will try to do a completion, and if it is ambigous use the first possibility.
-.TP
-.B f
-Follow a cross reference. You are asked for the name of the reference,
-using command completion as for
-.B m.
-.TP
-.B l
-Move to the last node you were at.
-.PP
-Moving within a node:
-.TP
-.B Space
-Scroll forward a page.
-.TP
-.B DEL

-.B info.
-.TP
-.B 1
-Pick first item in node's menu.
-.TP
-.B 2 \-\- 5

-the next occurrence is found.
-.TP
