- -dir dir
- Specifies directories to search for info files, in addition to thosecontained in the INFOPATH environment variable. The directoriesspecified with -dir will be searched first, in the order given.
- node
- Specifies the info node to visit initially. Possible formats fornodeare:
"(filename)nodename" most general
"(filename)" equivalent to (filename)Top
"filename" equivalent to (filename).
If filename is not absolute, the info directories (from INFOPATH and-dir) will be searched. If filename cannot be found, its lower caseversion will be tried.
An alternative way to specify the node "(FILE)NODE" is with "-file FILE-node NODE".
If no nodeis given, the default node "(dir)Top" is used.
ENVIRONMENT
- INFOPATH
- A colon (``:'') separated list of directories to search for infofiles. More directories can be given with -dir options, above. If notset, tkinfo will try various standard directories that should be ok for mostsystems.
- INFOSUFFIX
- A colon separated list of file suffixes to try when searching for aninfo file. If not set, tkinfowill try the suffixes "", ".info", and "-info". In addition, tkinfowill always automatically try the suffixes .Z, .z, and .gz and deal withthe compressed file if necessary.
SEE ALSO
The program documents itself in the info format: start it and type'h'. Customization via X resources is also documented in that way.
