<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
The Info file format is an easily-parsable representation for online
documents. It can be read by
<I><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+emacs">emacs</A>(1)</I>
and
<I><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+info">info</A>(1)</I>
among other programs.
<P>
Info files are usually created from
<I><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?5+texinfo">texinfo</A>(5)</I>
sources by
<I><A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+makeinfo">makeinfo</A>(1)</I>,
but can be created from scratch if so desired.
<P>
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:
<PRE>
info texinfo
</PRE>
or this key sequence from inside Emacs:
<PRE>
M-x info RET m texinfo RET
</PRE>
will get you there.
