 - <h4 class="subsubsection">6.3.7.1 Texinfo Manuals</h4>
 - 
 - <p>The manuals for GCC as a whole, and the C and C++ front ends, are in
 - files <samp>doc/*.texi</samp>.  Other front ends have their own manuals in
 - files <samp><var>language</var>/*.texi</samp>.  Common files
 - <samp>doc/include/*.texi</samp> are provided which may be included in
 - multiple manuals; the following files are in <samp>doc/include</samp>:
 - </p>
 - <dl compact="compact">
 - <dt><samp>fdl.texi</samp></dt>
 - <dd><p>The GNU Free Documentation License.
 - </p></dd>
 - <dt><samp>funding.texi</samp></dt>
 - <dd><p>The section “Funding Free Software”.
 - </p></dd>
 - <dt><samp>gcc-common.texi</samp></dt>
 - <dd><p>Common definitions for manuals.
 - </p></dd>
 - <dt><samp>gpl_v3.texi</samp></dt>
 - <dd><p>The GNU General Public License.
 - </p></dd>
 - <dt><samp>texinfo.tex</samp></dt>
 - <dd><p>A copy of <samp>texinfo.tex</samp> known to work with the GCC manuals.
 - </p></dd>
 - </dl>
 - 
 - <p>DVI-formatted manuals are generated by ‘<samp>make dvi</samp>’, which uses
 - <code>texi2dvi</code> (via the Makefile macro <code>$(TEXI2DVI)</code>).
 - PDF-formatted manuals are generated by ‘<samp>make pdf</samp>’, which uses
 - <code>texi2pdf</code> (via the Makefile macro <code>$(TEXI2PDF)</code>).  HTML
 - formatted manuals are generated by ‘<samp>make html</samp>’.  Info
 - manuals are generated by ‘<samp>make info</samp>’ (which is run as part of
 - a bootstrap); this generates the manuals in the source directory,
 - using <code>makeinfo</code> via the Makefile macro <code>$(MAKEINFO)</code>,
 - and they are included in release distributions.
 - </p>
 - <p>Manuals are also provided on the GCC web site, in both HTML and
 - PostScript forms.  This is done via the script
 - <samp>maintainer-scripts/update_web_docs_git</samp>.  Each manual to be
 - provided online must be listed in the definition of <code>MANUALS</code> in
 - that file; a file <samp><var>name</var>.texi</samp> must only appear once in the
 - source tree, and the output manual must have the same name as the
 - source file.  (However, other Texinfo files, included in manuals but
 - not themselves the root files of manuals, may have names that appear
 - more than once in the source tree.)  The manual file
 - <samp><var>name</var>.texi</samp> should only include other files in its own
 - directory or in <samp>doc/include</samp>.  HTML manuals will be generated by
 - ‘<samp>makeinfo --html</samp>’, PostScript manuals by <code>texi2dvi</code>
 - and <code>dvips</code>, and PDF manuals by <code>texi2pdf</code>.
 - All Texinfo files that are parts of manuals must
 - be version-controlled, even if they are generated files, for the
 - generation of online manuals to work.
 - </p>
 - <p>The installation manual, <samp>doc/install.texi</samp>, is also provided on
 - the GCC web site.  The HTML version is generated by the script
 - <samp>doc/install.texi2html</samp>.
