NAME
       cleanup-info - clean up the mess that bogus install-info may have done

SYNOPSIS
       cleanup-info [--help] [--unsafe] [--version] [--] []

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.

OPTIONS
       --help Output the help screen and exit successfully.

       --unsafe

	      Warning:	the  --unsafe option may garble an otherwise correct

	      Output version and exit successfully.

FILES
