Go up to Install an Info File.

Invoking install-info
=====================

  `install-info' inserts menu entries from an Info file into the
top-level `dir' file in the Info system (see the previous sections for
an explanation of how the `dir' file works).  It's most often run as
part of software installation, or when constructing a dir file for all
manuals on a system.  Synopsis:

     install-info [OPTION]... [INFO-FILE [DIR-FILE]]

  If INFO-FILE or DIR-FILE are not specified, the various options
(described below) that define them must be.  There are no compile-time
defaults, and standard input is never used.  `install-info' can read
only one info file and write only one dir file per invocation.

  Options:

`--delete'
     Only delete existing entries in INFO-FILE; don't insert any new
     entries.

`--dir-file=NAME'
     Specify file name of the Info directory file.  This is equivalent
     to using the DIR-FILE argument.

`--entry=TEXT'
     Insert TEXT as an Info directory entry; TEXT should have the form
     of an Info menu item line plus zero or more extra lines starting
     with whitespace.  If you specify more than one entry, they are all
     added.  If you don't specify any entries, they are determined from
     information in the Info file itself.

`--help'
     Display a usage message listing basic usage and all available
     options, then exit successfully.

`--info-file=FILE'
     Specify Info file to install in the directory.  This is equivalent
     to using the INFO-FILE argument.

`--info-dir=DIR'
     Equivalent to `--dir-file=DIR/dir'.

`--item=TEXT'
     Same as -entry=TEXT.  An Info directory entry is actually a menu
     item.

`--quiet'
     Suppress warnings.

`--remove'
     Same as -delete.

`--section=SEC'
     Put this file's entries in section SEC of the directory.  If you
     specify more than one section, all the entries are added in each
     of the sections.  If you don't specify any sections, they are
     determined from information in the Info file itself.

`--version'
     Display version information and exit successfully.
