+The actual format used incorporates some improvements for escaped characters
+from terminfo format.
+For a stricter BSD-compatible translation, use the \fB\-K\fR option.
+.TP
+\fB\-c\fR
+tells \fBtic\fP to only check \fIfile\fR for errors, including syntax problems and
+bad use links.
+If you specify \fB\-C\fR (\fB\-I\fR) with this option, the code
+will print warnings about entries which, after use resolution, are more than
+1023 (4096) bytes long.
+Due to a fixed buffer length in older termcap libraries,
+as well as buggy checking for the buffer length
+(and a documented limit in terminfo),
+these entries may cause core
+dumps with other implementations.
+.TP
+\fB\-e \fR\fInames\fR
+Limit writes and translations to the following comma-separated list of
+terminals.
+If any name or alias of a terminal matches one of the names in
+the list, the entry will be written or translated as normal.
+Otherwise no output will be generated for it.
+The option value is interpreted as a file containing the list if it
+contains a '/'.
+(Note: depending on how tic was compiled, this option may require \fB\-I\fR or \fB\-C\fR.)
+.TP
+\fB\-f\fR
+Display complex terminfo strings which contain if/then/else/endif expressions
+indented for readability.
