You may issue -.B \-\-directory -multiple times. -Alternatively, you may specify a value for the environment variable -.B INFOPATH; -if -.B \-\-directory -is not given, the value of -.B INFOPATH -is used. The value of -.B INFOPATH -is a colon separated list of directory names. If you do not supply either -.B INFOPATH -or -.B \-\-directory-path, -.B info -uses a default path. -.TP -.B \-f filename -Specify a particular -.B info -file to visit. By default, -.B info -visits -the file -.B dir; -if you use this option, -.B info -will start with -.B (FILENAME)Top -as the first file and node. -.TP -.B \-n nodename -Specify a particular node to visit in the initial file that -.B info -loads. This is especially useful in conjunction with -.B \-\-file. -You may specify -.B \-\-node -multiple times. -.TP -.B -o file -Direct output to -.B file -instead of starting an interactive -.B info -session. -.TP -.B \-h -Produce a relatively brief description of the available -.B info -options. -.TP -.B \-\-version -Print the version information of -.B info -and exit. -.TP -.B menu-item -.B info -treats its remaining arguments as the names of menu items. -The first argument is a menu item in the initial node visited, -while the second argument is a menu item in the first argument's -node. You can easily move to the node of your choice by -specifying the menu names which describe the path to that node. -For example, - -.B info emacs buffers - -first selects the menu item -.B emacs -in the node -.B (dir)Top, -and then selects the menu item -.B buffers -in the node -.B (emacs)Top. -.SH COMMANDS -When in -.B info -the following commands are available: -.TP -.B h -Invoke the Info tutorial. -.TP -.B ? -Get a short summary of -.B info -commands. -.TP -.B h -Select the -.B info -node from the main directory; this is much more complete than just -using -.B ?. -.TP -.B Ctrl-g -Abort whatever you are doing. -.TP -.B Ctrl-l -Redraw the screen. -.PP -Selecting other nodes: -.TP -.B n -Move to the "next" node of this node. -.TP -.B p -Move to the "previous" node of this node. -.TP -.B u -Move to this node's "up" node. -.TP -.B m -Pick a menu item specified by name. Picking a menu item causes another -node to be selected. You do not need to type a complete nodename; if -you type a few letters and then a space or tab -.B info -will try to fill in the rest of the nodename. If you ask for further -completion without typing any more characters you'll be given a list -of possibilities; you can also get the list with -.B ?. -If you type a few characters and then hit return -.B info -will try to do a completion, and if it is ambiguous use the first possibility. -.TP -.B f -Follow a cross reference. You are asked for the name of the reference, -using command completion as for -.B m. -.TP -.B l -Move to the last node you were at. -.PP -Moving within a node: -.TP -.B Space -Scroll forward a page. -.TP -.B DEL -Scroll backward a page. -.TP -.B b -Go to the beginning of this node. -.PP -Advanced commands: -.TP -.B q -Quit -.B info. -.TP -.B 1 -Pick first item in node's menu. -.TP -.B 2 \-\- 5 -Pick second ... fifth item in node's menu. -.TP -.B g -Move to node specified by name. You may include a filename as well, -as -.B (FILENAME)NODENAME. -.TP -.B s -Search through this -.B info -file for a specified string, and select the node in which -the next occurrence is found. -.TP -.B M-x print-node -Pipe the contents of the current node through the command in the -environment variable -.B INFO_PRINT_COMMAND. -If the variable does not exist, the node is simply piped to -.B lpr. -.SH ENVIRONMENT -.TP -.B INFOPATH -A colon-separated list of directories to search for -.B info -files. Used if -.B \-\-directory -is not given. -.TP -.B INFO_PRINT_COMMAND -The command used for printing. -.SH SEE ALSO -.BR man (1) -.\" .BR emacs (1) -.SH AUTHOR -.RS -Brian Fox, Free Software Foundation -.br -bfox@ai.mit.edu -.SH MANUAL AUTHOR -.RS -Robert Lupton; updated by Robert J.
