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 de‐
sired.

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.
