sub usage {
  print <<EOM;

Purpose: Extract full text from info node and search it by regex
Usage: $myscript [-e] TARGET REGEX

Where TARGET is an info node such as `emacs', `bash' etc, and
REGEX is what you want to find in it.

The -e flag is not required but if used then 6 lines preceding and six
lines following any hits will be printed.  The default (with no -e flag)
is to print one line before and after.

The output has the line number prepended to the line containing the
actual regex.

Info command used:
  info --output - --subnodes 2>/dev/null TARGET

EOM
