NAME
       install-info - update info/dir entries

SYNOPSIS
       install-info [OPTION]... [INFO-FILE [DIR-FILE]]

DESCRIPTION
       Install  or  delete dir entries from INFO-FILE in the Info
       directory file DIR-FILE.

OPTIONS
       --delete
              delete existing entries  for  INFO-FILE  from  DIR-
              FILE;

              don't insert any new entries.

       --dir-file=NAME
              specify file name of Info directory file.

              This  is equivalent to using the DIR-FILE argument.

       --entry=TEXT
              insert TEXT as an Info directory entry.

              TEXT should have the form of an Info menu item line
              plus zero or more extra lines starting with whites-
              pace.  If you specify more than one entry, they are
              all  added.  If you don't specify any entries, they
              are determined from information in  the  Info  file
              itself.

       --help display this help and exit.

       --info-file=FILE
              specify Info file to install in the directory.

              This is equivalent to using the INFO-FILE argument.

       --info-dir=DIR
              same as --dir-file=DIR/dir.

       --item=TEXT
              same as --entry TEXT.

              An Info directory entry is actually a menu item.

       --quiet
              suppress warnings.

       --remove
              same as --delete.

              put this file's  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.

       --version
              display version information and exit.
