 9 Function: displays the names of all info segments (info segs) having
10 one of the TOPIC strings appear in their entryname.  The entrynames of
11 an info segment indicate the topics covered by that info seg.
12 
13 
14 Arguments:
15 TOPICs
16    are strings to be searched for in info seg names.
17 
18 
19 Control arguments:
20 -absolute_pathname, -absp
21    prints or returns full pathnames of info segs, rather than
22    entrynames.
23 -all, -a
24    displays the names of all info segs.  (Default: to display the
25    names of only those info segs whose names match the topics
26    specified)
27 -brief, -bf
28    does not display the alternate names of the info segs.  You can't
29    use -brief in the active function.  (Default: display all names on
30    matching info segments.)
31 -no_sort
32    does not sort the output.  (Default)
33 
34 
35 -pathname path, -pn path
36    specifies the pathname of a directory to search for applicable
37    segments.  Multiple -pathname control arguments are allowed.  (See
38    "Notes.")  (Default: to search the directories in the info_segments
39    search list)
40 -sort
41    sorts the output in ascending alphabetic order using as key the
42    primary name of the info segs.  If you give -absolute_pathname,
43    -sort uses the entryname part of it as primary name.
44 
45 
46 Notes: An info seg is considered to pertain to a given topic if the
47 topic name appears in (i.e., is a substring of) the info seg name.  The
48 active function returns the selected names separated by spaces.  For
49 information on info segs, see the help command.
50 
51 The default info seg directories contain info segs provided by the site
52 and those supplied with the system.  Type "print_search_paths
53 info_segments" to see what the current info segs search list is.  For
54 information about search lists, see the search facility
55 commands--add_search_paths, in particular.
