Descriptions
info
The info program reads Info documents, usually contained in the
/usr/share/info directory. Info documents are like man(ual) pages, but
they tend to go deeper than just explaining the options to a
program.
infokey
infokey compiles a source file containing Info customizations into
a binary format.
install-info
The install-info program updates the info entries. When the info
program is run, a list with available topics (ie: available info documents)
will be presented. The install-info program is used to maintain this list of
available topics. If info files are removed manually, you must also delete
the topic in the index file. This program is used for
that. It also works the other way around when info documents are
added.
makeinfo
The makeinfo program translates Texinfo source documents into various
formats. Available formats are: info files, plain text and HTML.
texi2dvi
The texi2dvi program prints Texinfo documents.
texindex
The texindex program is used to sort Texinfo index files.
