INFO(1)                   User Commands                   INFO(1)


       --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
