13<para>The info program reads Info documents, usually contained in the
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
16program.</para></sect3>

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