--dribble=FILENAME
remember user keystrokes in FILENAME.
-f, --file=FILENAME

-h, --help

--index-search=STRING

-n, --node=NODENAME

-o, --output=FILENAME

-R, --raw-escapes
output "raw" ANSI escapes (default).
--no-raw-escapes

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

--vi-keys

--version

-w, --where, --location

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.
