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	 pro-
       grams.

       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-texinfo@gnu.org.
