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.)
