Use the GNU info program to view documentation files on an ASCII terminal. These files are the result of processing Texinfo source files with the program, makeinfo, or using the Emacs command, M-x texinfo-format-buffer. Texinfo is a documentation language which allows printed manuals and online documentation (an info file) to be produced from a single source file.

See Using Info to run info files and Reading Info files to view the info files. See Command Line Options for learning the commands for info files.

See Making Info Files from Texinfo Files to build info files from Texinfo files from the makeinfo program. See Command Line Options for Makeinfo for learning command line options for makeinfo.

If you want to run makeinfo on a Texinfo file prepared by someone else, this documentation contains all you need to know. However, to write your own Texinfo files, you should also read Texinfo, The GNU Documentation (published by Free Software Foundation).
