NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       cleanup-info - clean up the mess that bogus install-info may have done

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

       cleanup-info [--help] [--unsafe] [--version] [--] [<dirname>]

DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]

       cleanup-info  is  a  Perl  script  that tries to clean up the mess that
       bogus install-info may have done. It gathers all sections with the same
       heading into a single one.  It tries to be smart about cases and trailing
 colon/spaces.
       Other clean-ups include removing of empty sections, and	squeezing  the
       blank lines (in entries part only).

       Order  of sections is preserved (the first encountered section counts).
       Order of entries within a section is preserved.

       Please be extremely careful when using this utility - it might  not  be
       100%  safe.  cleanup-info  tries to be careful with your info dir file,
       but only until it writes it. You should back the file up prior to using
       this.
