- program.</para></sect3>
- <sect3><title>install-info</title>
- <para>The install-info program updates the info entries. When the info
- program is run a list with available topics (ie: available info documents) will
- be presented. The install-info program is used to maintain this list of
- available topics. If info files are removed manually, it is also necessary
- to delete the topic in the index file as well. This program is used for
- that. It also works the other way around when info documents are
- added.</para></sect3>
