This may 'show' an info page, but noone on the planet uses this.
INFO is meant to be used from your editor [in practice I think
this means Emacs -- vim sadly never got round to integrating info].
Info documents can be referenced simply by a few keystrokes and
give context-dependant help while editing code. Quite indispensable
for me when I'm coding Python, for example.
Unlike the traditional terse, hi-brow style still adhered to most
man page writers today, info pages expect a human to be reading
them and add examples.
Greetings,
Jan.
