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.
