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

      -n, --node=NODENAME

      -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

      -O, --show-options, --usage

      -w, --where, --location

      --version

      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.

      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
