DESCRIPTION

      Read documentation in Info format.

OPTIONS

      --apropos=STRING
             look up STRING in all indices of all manuals.
 
      -d, --directory=DIR
             add DIR to INFOPATH.
 
      --dribble=FILENAME
             remember user keystrokes in FILENAME.
 
      -f, --file=FILENAME
             specify Info file 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=FILENAME
             output selected nodes to FILENAME.
 
      -R, --raw-escapes
             output "raw" ANSI escapes (default).
 
      --no-raw-escapes
             output escapes as literal text.
 
      --restore=FILENAME
             read initial keystrokes from FILENAME.
 
      -O, --show-options, --usage
             go to command-line options node.
 
      --subnodes
             recursively output menu items.
 
      -w, --where, --location
             print physical location of Info file.
 
      --vi-keys
             use vi-like and less-like key bindings.
 
      --version
             display version information and exit.
 
      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.

EXAMPLES

      info   show top-level dir menu
 
      info emacs
             start at emacs node from top-level dir
 
      info emacs buffers
             start at buffers node within emacs manual
 
      info --show-options emacs
             start at node with emacs' command line options
 
      info -f ./foo.info
             show file ./foo.info, not searching dir
