It has the same effect as set -e, you can pass the options of set to
bash directly bash -x etc...

The manual says:
"In  addition to the single-character shell options documented in the
description of the set builtin command, bash interprets the following
options when it is invoked:"

(and don't worry for not finding it, I know it is easier to find what
you want when you already know what you are looking for.)
