12<para>The info program reads Info documents, usually contained in the
13/usr/share/info directory. Info documents are like man(ual) pages, but
14they tend to go deeper than just explaining the options to a
15program.</para></sect4>

21<sect4><title>install-info</title>
22<para>The install-info program updates the info entries. When the info
23program is run, a list with available topics (ie: available info documents)
24will be presented. The install-info program is used to maintain this list of
25available topics. If info files are removed manually, you must also delete
26the topic in the index file. This program is used for
27that. It also works the other way around when info documents are
28added.</para></sect4>
