- DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
- A program to browse through GNU manuals online. Its first
- display is a directory showing all the manuals available.
- If you already know which of those manuals you want, you
- can give the corresponding menu entry as an argument to
- iinnffoo; for example, `iinnffoo iinnffoo' requests the online manual
- for iinnffoo itself.
-
- The manuals are organized into _n_o_d_e_s, which correspond to
- the chapters and sections of a printed book. You can fol
- low them in sequence, just like in the printed book; but
- there are also menus, ``hot'' references, and search fa
- cilities.
-
- The best way to get started with iinnffoo is to run it with no
- arguments. The first screen displayed is a menu of the
- documentation available. Typing the single letter hh re
- quests a tutorial.
-
- GNU Emacs has a builtin facility equivalent to iinnffoo. If
- you already use Emacs, you may want to get into the docu
- mentation browsing mode, instead, by typing CChh ii inside
- Emacs.
-
- You can get out of iinnffoo at any time by typing the single
- letter qq.
-
- Here is a summary of all the iinnffoo commands; iinnffoo itself
- can display a summary like this at any time, when you type
- the single character ??.
-
- hh Invoke the Info tutorial.
- qq Quit Info

-
- ++ddiirreeccttoorryy _p_a_t_h
- A colonseparated list of directories; where to
- look for info files and their directory. The first
- of these directories containing a file `ddiirr' gov
- erns the toplevel directory displayed; but you can
- explicitly visit info files by name, whether or not
- they're in that directory, from any directory in
- _p_a_t_h.
-
- nn _n_o_d_e_n_a_m_e
-
- ++nnooddee _n_o_d_e_n_a_m_e
- Go directly to node _n_o_d_e_n_a_m_e of the current file.
- Since directories don't have nodes, this option is
- most useful if you also specify a particular _t_o_p_i_c
- or use the `++ffiillee' option. You may specify more
- than one `++nnooddee _n_o_d_e_n_a_m_e'; the rightmost will be
- displayed, but you can visit the others in reverse
- sequence using the command ll.
-
- ff _n_a_m_e
-
- ++ffiillee _n_a_m_e
- Go directly to info file _n_a_m_e, bypassing the main
- directory display. _n_a_m_e may be a fully specified
- path; if not, it will be sought through the info
- path directories.
-
- oo _o_u_t_f_i_l_e
-
- ++oouuttppuutt _o_u_t_f_i_l_e
- Copy a node to file _o_u_t_f_i_l_e instead of running in
- teractively.
-
-
- _t_o_p_i_c Go directly to topic _t_o_p_i_c from the main info di
- rectory.
