Update info/dir entries
install-info [OPTION]... [INFO-FILE [DIR-FILE]]
Add or remove entries in INFO-FILE from the Info directory DIR-FILE. INFO-FILE and DIR-FILE are required unless the --info-file or --dir-file (or --info-dir) options are given, respectively.

--dir-file=NAME
specify file name of Info directory file; equivalent to using the DIR-FILE argument.
--dry-run

--entry=TEXT
insert TEXT as an Info directory entry, overriding any corresponding entry from DIR-FILE. TEXT is written as an Info menu item line followed
by zero or more extra lines starting with whitespace.
If you specify more than one entry, all are added. If you don't specify any entries, they are determined
from information in the Info file itself.

are added in each of the sections.
If you don't specify any sections, they are determined
from information in the Info file itself.
