     --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
