Synopsis
info [options] [topics]
Info files are arranged in a hierarchy and can contain menus for
subtopics. When entered without options, the command displays the
top-level info file (usually
/usr/local/info/dir). When
topics are specified, find a subtopic by
choosing the first topic from the menu in the
top-level info file, the next topic from the new
menu specified by the first topic, and so on.
The initial display can also be controlled by the
-f and -n options.
