INFO(5)                                                                                              INFO(5)



NAME
       info - readable online documentation

DESCRIPTION
       The  Info  file  format is an easily-parsable representation for online documents.  It can be read by
       emacs(1) and info(1) among other programs.

       Info files are usually created from texinfo(5) sources  by  makeinfo(1),  but  can  be  created  from
       scratch if so desired.

       For  a  full  description of the Texinfo language and associated tools, please see the Texinfo manual
       (written in Texinfo itself).  Most likely, running this command from your shell:
              info texinfo
       or this key sequence from inside Emacs:
              M-x info RET m texinfo RET
       will get you there.

AVAILABILITY
       ftp://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/texinfo-<version.tar.gz
       or any GNU mirror site.

REPORTING BUGS
       Please send bug reports  to  bug-texinfo@gnu.org,  general  questions  and  discussion  to  help-tex-
       info@gnu.org.
