Hi,

What is the difference between man and info?

Thanks,

From a reliable but dated linux resource:

"The info utility displays more complete and up-to-date information on GNU utilities than does man. When a man page displays abbreviated information on a utility that is covered by info, the man page refers to info. The man utility frequently displays the only information available on non-GNU utilities. When info displays information on non-GNU utilities, it is frequently a copy of
the man page."

Info has more in-depth info than man
