of a node. Default is on.

-/+showdir
Turns on/off showing the full pathname of the displayed info file. Default is off.

-linklook type
Specifies how to display cross references and menu entries. type must be one of
"color", "font", or "underline". Default is "color" on color displays and
"underline" on black and white displays.

-highlight type
Specifies how to highlight links. type must be one of "color", "inverse", or
"underline". Default is "inverse".

-searchlook type
Specifies how to highlight matches after searches. type must be one of "color",
"inverse", or "underline". Default is "inverse".

-geometry geom
Geometry of the window. geom must be of the form XxY+A+B or XxY or +A+B, where X
and Y specify the size of the window in characters and A and B the location in
pixels.

-display display
X display to use for the tkinfo window.

-iconic
Start the first window in iconic state.

-dir dir
Specifies directories to search for info files, in addition to those contained in
the INFOPATH environment variable. The directories specified with -dir will be
searched first, in the order given.

node Specifies the info node to visit initially. Possible formats for node are:
"(filename)nodename" most general
"(filename)" equivalent to (filename)Top
"filename" equivalent to (filename).

If filename is not absolute, the info directories (from INFOPATH and -dir) will be
searched. If filename cannot be found, its lower case version will be tried.

An alternative way to specify the node "(FILE)NODE" is with "-file FILE -node NODE".

If no node is given, the default node "(dir)Top" is used.

ENVIRONMENT

       INFOPATH
              A  colon  (``:'')  separated  list  of  directories  to search for info files. More
              directories can be given with -dir options, above. If  not  set,  tkinfo  will  try
              various standard directories that should be ok for most systems.

       INFOSUFFIX
              A  colon separated list of file suffixes to try when searching for an info file. If
              not set, tkinfo will try the suffixes "", ".info", and "-info". In addition, tkinfo
              will  always  automatically  try  the  suffixes  .Z,  .z, and .gz and deal with the
              compressed file if necessary.
