17The info program reads Info documents, usually contained in your
18/usr/doc/info directory. Info documents are like man(ual) pages, but
19they tend to be more in depth than just explaining the options to a
20program.

27<para>
28The install-info program updates the info entries. When you run the info
29program a list with available topics (ie: available info documents) will
30be presented. The install-info program is used to maintain this list of
31available topics. If you decice to remove info files manually, you need
32to delete the topic in the index file as well. This program is used for
33that. It also works the other way around when you add info documents.
