2.2 - Filters and Special Characters in Queries

For Get-style actions (-GD, -GC), Info options are interpreted as query filters. Four characters refine those filters; quote or escape them on the command line so the shell does not consume them:

‘!’

negate the match. Must appear immediately after the option name.

‘<’

less-than comparison against the next value.

‘>’

greater-than comparison against the next value.

‘<>’

range between the next two values (inclusive).

The combination “’!’ ‘<’ value” expresses ‘greater than or equal to value’.
