NAME
cleanup-info - clean up the mess that bogus install-info may have done
SYNOPSIS
cleanup-info [options] [--] [dirname]
DESCRIPTION
cleanup-info is a Perl script that tries to clean up the mess that bogus install-info(8)
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 script.
