 `texinfo-multiple-files-update'
 ===============================
 
   GNU Emacs Texinfo mode provides the `texinfo-multiple-files-update'
 command.  This command creates or updates `Next', `Previous', and `Up'
 pointers of included files as well as those in the outer or overall
 Texinfo file, and it creates or updates a main menu in the outer file.
 Depending whether you call it with optional arguments, the command
 updates only the pointers in the first `@node' line of the included
 files or all of them:
 
 `M-x texinfo-multiple-files-update'
      Called without any arguments:
 
         - Create or update the `Next', `Previous', and `Up' pointers of
           the first `@node' line in each file included in an outer or
           overall Texinfo file.
 
         - Create or update the `Top' level node pointers of the outer or
           overall file.
 
         - Create or update a main menu in the outer file.
 
 `C-u M-x texinfo-multiple-files-update'
      Called with `C-u' as a prefix argument:
 
         - Create or update pointers in the first `@node' line in each
           included file.
 
         - Create or update the `Top' level node pointers of the outer
           file.
 
         - Create and insert a master menu in the outer file.  The
           master menu is made from all the menus in all the included
           files.
 
 `C-u 8 M-x texinfo-multiple-files-update'
      Called with a numeric prefix argument, such as `C-u 8':
 
         - Create or update *all* the `Next', `Previous', and `Up'
           pointers of all the included files.
 
         - Create or update *all* the menus of all the included files.
 
         - Create or update the `Top' level node pointers of the outer or
           overall file.
 
         - And then create a master menu in the outer file.  This is
           similar to invoking `texinfo-master-menu' with an argument
           when you are working with just one file.
 
   Note the use of the prefix argument in interactive use: with a regular
 prefix argument, just `C-u', the `texinfo-multiple-files-update'
 command inserts a master menu; with a numeric prefix argument, such as
 `C-u 8', the command updates *every* pointer and menu in *all* the
 files and then inserts a master menu.
