Comment by jwilk 8 years ago > have a way to find the documentation for a particular short optionHow? 2 comments jwilk Reply mjw1007 8 years ago There's an index, usually a separate one for command-line options.For example in the sed info pages it's under "Command and Option Index" at the bottom of the top-level menu.And, at least in the emacs viewer, there's a keyboard shortcut so you can just type something like « i - n » to see the docs for -n. jwilk 8 years ago "i" works also in stand-alone info. I was hoping pinfo can do this too, but I can't see such functionality. :(
