<p>The end of a Texinfo file should include commands to create indices
(see <a href="Printing-Indices-_0026-Menus.html#Printing-Indices-_0026-Menus">Printing Indices &amp; Menus</a>), and the <code>@bye</code> command to mark
the last line to be processed.  For example:
</p>
<div class="example">
<pre class="example">@node Index
@unnumbered Index

@printindex cp

@bye
</pre></div>

<a name="index-bye-1"></a>
<a name="File-End"></a><p>An <code>@bye</code> command terminates Texinfo processing.  None of the
formatters process anything following <code>@bye</code>; any such text is
completely ignored.  The <code>@bye</code> command should be on a line by
itself.
</p>
<p>Thus, if you wish, you may follow the <code>@bye</code> line with arbitrary
notes.  Also, you may follow the <code>@bye</code> line with a local
variables list for Emacs, most typically a &lsquo;<samp>compile-command</samp>&rsquo;
(see <a href="Compile_002dCommand.html#Compile_002dCommand">Using the Local Variables List</a>).
