51       --strict-node-location
52              (for debugging) use Info file pointers as-is.
53
54       --subnodes

65
66       The  first  non-option argument, if present, is the menu entry to start
67       from; it is searched for in all `dir' files along INFOPATH.  If  it  is
68       not  present,  info  merges  all `dir' files and shows the result.  Any
69       remaining arguments are treated as the names of menu items relative  to
70       the initial node visited.
71
72       For a summary of key bindings, type h within Info.
