+ -a report on all of the terminal databases which ncurses would
+ search, rather than only the first one that it finds.
+
+ If the -s is also given, toe adds a column to the report, show-
+ ing (like conflict(1)) which entries which belong to a given
+ terminal database. An "*" marks entries which differ, and "+"
+ marks equivalent entries.

-ufile
- says to issue a report on dependencies in the given
- file. This report condenses the `use' relation:
- each line consists of the primary name of a termi-
- nal that has use capabilities, followed by a colon,
- followed by the whitespace-separated primary names
- of all terminals which occur in those use capabili-
- ties, followed by a newline
