User Commands INFO(1)
--version
display version information and exit.
-w, --where, --location
print physical location of Info file.
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 vis-
ited.
For a summary of key bindings, type h within Info.
