Prints those symbols whose print-names contain STRING as substring. If PACKAGE is non-NIL, then only the specified package is searched.
Find all documentation about STRING in LIST-OF-INFO-FILES. The search is done for STRING as a substring of a node name, or for STRING in the indexed entries in the first index for each info file. Typically that should be a variable and function definition index, if the info file is about a programming language. If the windowing system is connected, then a choice box is offered and double clicking on an item brings up its documentation.
Otherwise a list of choices is offered and the user may select some of these choices.
list-of-info-files is of the form
("gcl-si.info" "gcl-tk.info" "gcl.info") |
see *Index *default-info-files*:: and *Index *info-paths*::. For example
(info "defun") 0: DEFUN :(gcl-si.info)Special Forms and Functions. 1: (gcl.info)defun. Enter n, all, none, or multiple choices eg 1 3 : 1 Info from file /home/wfs/gcl-doc/gcl.info: defun [Macro] --------------------------------------------------------------------------- `Defun' function-name lambda-list [[{declaration}* | documentation]] ... |
(gcl.info)defun
.
That is the node entitled defun
from the info file gcl.info. That
documentation is based on the ANSI common lisp standard. The choice
DEFUN :(gcl-si.info)Special Forms and Functions. |
refers to the documentation on DEFUN from the info file gcl-si.info in
the node Special Forms And Functions. This is an index reference
and only the part of the node which refers to defun
will be
printed.
(info "factor" '("maxima.info")) |
factor
.
A list of strings such as
'("" "/usr/info/" "/usr/local/lib/info/" "/usr/local/info/" "/usr/local/gnu/info/" ) |
info
, see *Index info::.
Looking for maxima.info would look for the file maxima.info in all the directories listed in *info-paths*. If nto found then it would look for `dir' in the *info-paths* directories, and if it were found it would look in the `dir' for a menu item such as
* maxima: (/home/wfs/maxima-5.0/info/maxima.info). |
If such an entry exists then the directory there would be used for the
purpose of finding maxima.info
