: val = info_file ()

: old_val = info_file (new_val)

: info_file (new_val, "local")

Query or set the internal variable that specifies the name of the Octave info file.

The default value is octave-home/info/octave.info, in which octave-home is the root directory of the Octave installation. The default value may be overridden by the environment variable OCTAVE_INFO_FILE, or the command line argument --info-file FNAME.

When called from inside a function with the "local" option, the variable is changed locally for the function and any subroutines it calls. The original variable value is restored when exiting the function.
