[b822811]13<para>The info program reads Info documents, usually contained in the
[6370fa6]14/usr/doc/info directory. Info documents are like man(ual) pages, but
15they tend to be more in depth than just explaining the options to a
[53ad30a]16program.</para></sect3>

18<sect3><title>install-info</title>
[b822811]19<para>The install-info program updates the info entries. When the info
[7d90bd3]20program is run a list with available topics (ie: available info documents) will
[6370fa6]21be presented. The install-info program is used to maintain this list of
[7d90bd3]22available topics. If info files are removed manually, it is also necessary
[6370fa6]23to delete the topic in the index file as well. This program is used for
[b822811]24that. It also works the other way around when info documents are
[53ad30a]25added.</para></sect3>

[b822811]28<para>The makeinfo program translates Texinfo source documents into various
