              use all matching manuals.

       -k, --apropos=STRING
              look up STRING in all indices of all manuals.

       -d, --directory=DIR
              add DIR to INFOPATH.

       --dribble=FILE
              remember user keystrokes in FILENAME.

       -f, --file=MANUAL
              specify Info manual to visit.

       -h, --help
              display this help and exit.

       --index-search=STRING
              go to node pointed by index entry STRING.

       -n, --node=NODENAME
              specify nodes in first visited Info file.

       -o, --output=FILE
              output selected nodes to FILE.

       -R, --raw-escapes
              output "raw" ANSI escapes (default).

       --no-raw-escapes
              output escapes as literal text.

       --restore=FILE
              read initial keystrokes from FILE.

       -O, --show-options, --usage
              go to command-line options node.

       --strict-node-location
              (for debugging) use Info file pointers as-is.

       --subnodes
              recursively output menu items.

       -v, --variable VAR=VALUE
              assign VALUE to Info variable VAR.

       --vi-keys
              use vi-like and less-like key bindings.

       --version
              display version information and exit.

       -w, --where, --location
              print physical location of Info file.

       -x, --debug=NUMBER
              set debugging level (-1 for all).

       The  first  non-option  argument,  if present, is the menu entry to start from; it is searched for in all
       'dir' files along INFOPATH.  If it is not present, info merges all 'dir' files and shows the result.  Any
       remaining arguments are treated as the names of menu items relative to the initial node visited.

       For a summary of key bindings, type H within Info.
