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.
