Node:New Info File, Next:Other Info Directories, Previous:Directory File, Up:Installing an Info File
To add a new Info file to your system, you must write a menu entry to
add to the menu in the dir file in the info directory.
For example, if you were adding documentation for GDB, you would write
the following new entry:
* GDB: (gdb). The source-level C debugger.
The first part of the menu entry is the menu entry name, followed by a colon. The second part is the name of the Info file, in parentheses, followed by a period. The third part is the description.
The name of an Info file often has a .info extension. Thus, the
Info file for GDB might be called either gdb or gdb.info.
The Info reader programs automatically try the file name both with and
without .info1; so it is better to avoid
clutter and not to write .info explicitly in the menu entry. For
example, the GDB menu entry should use just gdb for the file
name, not gdb.info.
