viewer -PetscViewer context, obtained from PetscViewerCreate()

-viewer_binary_skip_info -

Notes: This must be called after PetscViewerSetType() but before PetscViewerFileSetName(). If you use PetscViewerBinaryOpen() then you can only skip the info file with the -viewer_binary_skip_info flag. To use the function you must open the viewer with PetscViewerCreate(), PetscViewerSetType(), PetscViewerFileSetName().

The .info contains meta information about the data in the binary file, for example the block size if it was set for a vector or matrix.
