INFO(5)                                  File Formats Manual                                 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.
