Navigate linux ‘info’ command
March 13, 2014 1 Comment
The command ‘info’ can provide additional information that isn’t present in the man pages. Unfortunately it isn’t easy to navigate.
A trick is learned is to add the following to your ~/.bashrc file
function infos () { info --vi-keys --subnodes -o - "$@" | less; }
Now you can call infos (with an s), to be able to navigate the info page.
Example
$ infos ls
