--debug
report what is being done.
--delete
delete existing entries for
INFO-FILE from DIR-FILE; don’t insert any
new entries.
--description=TEXT
the description of the entry is
TEXT; used with the --name option to
become synonymous with the --entry
option.
--dir-file=NAME
specify file name of Info
directory file; equivalent to using the DIR-FILE
argument.
--dry-run

--test.
--entry=TEXT
insert TEXT as an Info
directory entry. TEXT is written as an Info menu item line
followed
by zero or more
extra lines starting with whitespace.
If you specify
more than one entry, all are added. If you don’t
specify any entries, they are determined
from
information in the Info file itself.
When removing,
TEXT specifies the entry to remove. TEXT is only removed as
a last resort, if the entry as determined from the Info file
is not present, and the basename of the Info file
isn’t found either.
--help
display this help and exit.
--info-dir=DIR
same as
--dir-file=DIR/dir.
--info-file=FILE

the DIR file.

name matches exactly; suffixes such as .info and .gz are not
ignored.
--section=SEC

entries
are added in
each of the sections.
