SYNOPSIS

info - GNU Info File.

FILES

info.emf - Info macro file.

EXTENSIONS

No fixed extension, the root of the info tree is specified by $INFOPATH/dir. The default search paths on different platforms are:-

c:/info - MS-DOS and MS-Windows (all).
/usr/local/info - All UNIX platforms.

DESCRIPTION

The GNU info files are handled by the command info(3) which starts the info reader. This reads the initial info file dir and initializes the info file traversal. Where the info directory is not in the aforementioned locations then the $INFOPATH environment variable should specify the base directory.

The standard info navigation keys are in effect within the info buffers. The mouse may also be used to select the next info page.
