-I dir

This option specify directories where soelim searches for files (both those on the command line and those named in “.so” directive.) This options may be specified multiple times. The directories will be searched in the order specified.

The files are always searched first in the current directory.

A file specified with an absolute path will be opened directly without performing a search.
