NAME
       install-info - update info/dir entries

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

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

OPTIONS
       --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.
