1. NAME

install-info - wrapper around GNU install-info

2. SYNOPSIS

install-info "[options]"

3. DESCRIPTION

This manual page documents briefly the

R install-info command. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original script was designed for Debian packaging system.

install-info is a wrapper around GNU install-info. If it is called from a normal shell or script it acts like GNU install-info by forwarding all options to ginstall-info.

If it is called from a maintainer script it gives a warning to rebuild packages and does nothing, since info file installation is now done via triggers.

4. OPTIONS

Same as with GNU install-info, see ginstall-info(1).
