ginstall-info - update info/dir entries

ginstall-info [OPTION]... [INFO-FILE [DIR-FILE]]

Add or remove entries in INFO-FILE from the Info directory DIR-FILE.

• --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. 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.

When removing, TEXT specifies the entry to remove. TEXT is only removed as a last resort, if the entry as determined from the Info file is not present, and the basename of the Info file isn't found either.

• --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.
• --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
      display version information and exit.
