or "underline". Default is "color" on color displays and "underline" on black and white displays.

-highlight type
Specifies how to highlight links. type must be one of "color", "inverse", or "underline". Default
is "inverse".

-searchlook type
Specifies how to highlight matches after searches. type must be one of "color", "inverse", or
"underline". Default is "inverse".

-geometry geom
Geometry of the window. geom must be of the form XxY+A+B or XxY or +A+B, where X and Y specify
the size of the window in characters and A and B the location in pixels.

-display display
X display to use for the tkinfo window.

-iconic

-dir dir
Specifies directories to search for info files, in addition to those contained in the INFOPATH
environment variable. The directories specified with -dir will be searched first, in the order
given.

node Specifies the info node to visit initially. Possible formats for node are:
"(filename)nodename" most general
"(filename)" equivalent to (filename)Top
"filename" equivalent to (filename).

If filename is not absolute, the info directories (from INFOPATH and -dir) will be searched. If filename
cannot be found, its lower case version will be tried.

An alternative way to specify the node "(FILE)NODE" is with "-file FILE -node NODE".

If no node is given, the default node "(dir)Top" is used.

ENVIRONMENT

       INFOPATH
              A colon (``:'') separated list of directories to search for info files. More  directories  can  be
              given  with  -dir  options,  above.  If not set, tkinfo will try various standard directories that
              should be ok for most systems.

       INFOSUFFIX
              A colon separated list of file suffixes to try when searching for an info file. If not set, tkinfo
              will try the suffixes "", ".info", and "-info". In addition, tkinfo will always automatically  try
              the suffixes .Z, .z, and .gz and deal with the compressed file if necessary.
