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
This option forces a more literal translation that also preserves the
obsolete capabilities.

Write compiled entries to given database location.

Rather than show source in terminfo (text) format,
print the compiled (binary) format in hexadecimal or base64 form,
depending on the option's value:

Suppress comments and blank lines when showing translated source.
.TP

Restrict output to a given subset.
This option is for use with archaic
