cleanup−info − clean up the mess that bogus install−info may have done
cleanup−info [−−help] [−−unsafe] [−−version] [−−] [<dirname>]
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.

useful options.
Warning: the ’−−unsafe’ option may
garble an otherwise correct file!
−−version

/usr/info/dir or <dirname>/dir
The info directory file. The lock file is named the same, with ".lock" suffix.
Probably many.
