file. Default is off.
-linklook type
Specifies how to display cross references and menu entries.
type must be one of "color", "font", or "underline". Default is
"color" on color displays and "underline" on black and white
displays.
-highlight type
Specifies how to highlight links. type must be one of "color",
"inverse", or "underline". Default is "inverse".
-searchlook type
Specifies how to highlight matches after searches. type must be
one of "color", "inverse", or "underline". Default is "inverse".
-geometry geom
Geometry of the window. geom must be of the form XxY+A+B or XxY
or +A+B, where X and Y specify the size of the window in charac‐
ters and A and B the location in pixels.
-display display
X display to use for the tkinfo window.
-iconic
Start the first window in iconic state.
-dir dir
Specifies directories to search for info files, in addition to
those contained in the INFOPATH environment variable. The
directories specified with -dir will be searched first, in the
order given.
node Specifies the info node to visit initially. Possible formats for
node are:
"(filename)nodename" most general
"(filename)" equivalent to (filename)Top
"filename" equivalent to (filename).
If filename is not absolute, the info directories (from INFOPATH and
-dir) will be searched. If filename cannot be found, its lower case
version will be tried.
An alternative way to specify the node "(FILE)NODE" is with "-file FILE
-node NODE".
If no node is given, the default node "(dir)Top" is used.
ENVIRONMENT
INFOPATH
A colon (``:'') separated list of directories to search for info
files. More directories can be given with -dir options, above.
If not set, tkinfo will try various standard directories that
should be ok for most systems.
INFOSUFFIX
A colon separated list of file suffixes to try when searching
for an info file. If not set, tkinfo will try the suffixes "",
".info", and "-info". In addition, tkinfo will always automati‐
cally try the suffixes .Z, .z, and .gz and deal with the com‐
pressed file if necessary.
SEE ALSO
The program documents itself in the info format: start it and type ´h´.
Customization via X resources is also documented in that way.
