info (Unix)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
info is a software utility which forms a hypertextual, multipage documentation and help viewer working on a command line interface, so no GUI is needed.
info processes info files, which are Texinfo formatted files, and presents the documentation as a tree, with simple commands to traverse the tree and to follow cross references. For instance
- n goes to the next page.
- p goes to the previous page.
- u goes to the upper page.
- l goes to the last(visited) node
- To follow a cross reference, the cursor can be moved over a link (a word preceded by a *) and enter pressed.
info was initially written for use with GNU/Linux and then ported to other Unix-like operating systems.
