	      output selected nodes to FILE.

       -R, --raw-escapes

       -x, --debug=NUMBER

       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.
