@navi@social.vlhl.dev honestly gnu should have seen nobody uses info despite how much they push it, and bit the bullet to switch the doc to manpages
i do agree with them info is better than manpages, but everyone is used to manpages, so

@SRAZKVT@tech.lgbt @navi@social.vlhl.dev I think gcc provides both. The gcc man page is a subsection of the whole manual. While the info page is the full manual. Though I dont know anyone who uses info or man pages but most read the html based pages instead. I know i do. Easier to link to in emails, here etc. (There is a pdf version too but I dont think anyone uses that either).
