DESCRIPTION¶
tkinfo is a graphical browser for documentation in the GNU Info hypertext
format.
OPTIONS¶
- --help
- Produces a short help message.
- -/+headers
- Turns on/off display of the raw info node headers in the
first line of the window. Default is on.
- -/+buttons
- Turns on/off display of the button row. Default is on.
- -/+balloons
- Turns on/off balloonhelp for the buttons. Default is
on.
- -/+scrollthrough
- Turns on/off jumping to the successor node when attempting
to scroll at the bottom of a node. Default is on.
- -/+pagesep
- Turns on/off inserting of page separators when scrolling
page-wise. Default is on.
- -/+showdir
- Turns on/off showing the full pathname of the displayed
info file. Default is off.
- -linklook type
- Specifies how to display cross references and menu entries.
type must be one of "color", "font", or
"underline". Default is "color" on color displays and
"underline" on black and white displays.
- -highlight type
- Specifies how to highlight links. type must be one
of "color", "inverse", or "underline".
Default is "inverse".
- -searchlook type
- Specifies how to highlight matches after searches.
type must be one of "color", "inverse", or
"underline". Default is "inverse".
- -geometry geom
- Geometry of the window. geom must be of the form
XxY+A+B or XxY or +A+B, where X and Y specify the size of the window in
characters and A and B the location in pixels.
- -display display
- X display to use for the tkinfo window.
- -iconic
- Start the first window in iconic state.
- -dir dir
- Specifies directories to search for info files, in addition
to those contained in the INFOPATH environment variable. The directories
specified with -dir will be searched first, in the order given.
- node
- Specifies the info node to visit initially. Possible
formats for node are:
"(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 case version will be
tried.
An alternative way to specify the node "(FILE)NODE" is with
"-file FILE -node NODE".
If no
node is given, the default node "(dir)Top" is used.
ENVIRONMENT¶
- INFOPATH
- A colon (``:'') separated list of directories to search for
info files. More directories can be given with -dir options, above. If not
set, tkinfo will try various standard directories that should be ok
for most systems.
- INFOSUFFIX
- A colon separated list of file suffixes to try when
searching for an info file. If not set, tkinfo will try the
suffixes "", ".info", and "-info". In
addition, tkinfo will always automatically try the suffixes .Z, .z,
and .gz and deal with the 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.
