.SH VERBOSITY LEVELS
.LP
The \fB-v\fR option can be used to increase \fBmkvinfo\fR's verbosity level
and print more information about the current file.
.TP
level 0
will print only the track headers it finds and their types. \fBmkvinfo\fR
will exit as soon as the headers are parsed completely (more technical:
as soon as the first cluster is encountered). In this level the seek head
entries and the cues will not be displayed - even if they're located in
front of the track informatio.
.TP
level 1
will also print all Matroska elements ancountered for the complete file but
the seek head entries and the cue entries.
.TP
level 2
will also print the seek head entries, the cue entries and the file position
at which each Matroska element can be found at.
