__--index-search__=''STRING''


go to node pointed by index entry STRING.


__--node__=''NODENAME''

__--subnodes__


recursively output menu items.


__--vi-keys__

__--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.
