+.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
+.B cleanup-info
|
|
|
+is a Perl script that tries to clean up the mess that bogus install-info 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.
|
|
|
+.br
|
|
|
+Other clean-ups include removing of empty sections, and squeezing the blank
|
|
|
+lines (in entries part only).
|
|
|
+.sp
|
|
|
+Order of sections is preserved (the first encountered section counts).
|
|
|
+Order of entries within a section is preserved.

|
|
|

|
|

|
|
|
+file, but only until it writes it. You should back the file up prior
|
|
|
+to using this.
