* HTML - entirely on one web page.
* HTML - one web page per node.
* HTML compressed (gzipped tar file) - with one web page per node.
* Info document (gzipped tar file).
* ASCII text compressed (gzipped).
* TeX dvi file (gzipped).
* PDF file.
* Texinfo source (gzipped tar file).
If the one big file (great for grepping) was too confusing, you probably want to opt for HTML, with one file per node. For example, the Sockets/Local Namespace page for glibc: [0]
[0] http://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/html_node/Local-Name...
Edit:
And it appears the help files are seperate inside the source code as well. [1]
