Info is a type of documentation. The documents are in a file
format called texinfo, and can be read on the command line with the
info program.
The Info ioslave allows you to read the info pages installed on
your system, from within &konqueror;. You can use it very easily:
info:gcc
This would show you the top level node of the Info documentation
for the &gcc; compiler.
Info is a &GNU; replacement for
man, but is not widely used outside of
&GNU; software.
You can quite easily browse the info documentation you have
installed from within the &khelpcenter; application, or you can use the
info ioslave directly from within both &konqueror; and the
mini-cli.
