I see it loud and clear in node "Options Summary" of the texinfo
manual. Sure you're looking in the right manual? The standalone
info reader has the bad habit of searching for files in the
$INFOPATH before deigning to check the current directory. Use
'info -f ./foo.info' for reading an info file in the working
directory.

No, it's not in the man page, but the man page explicitly states that
it isn't being kept up-to-date. (If somebody cares enough about
manpages to do the work, they'll probably contribute a patch for
make.1).
