-\fB-r\fR
-Force entry resolution (so there are no remaining tc capabilities) even
-when doing translation to termcap format. This may be needed if you are
-preparing a termcap file for a termcap library (such as GNU termcap up
-to version 1.3 or BSD termcap up to 4.3BSD) that doesn't handle multiple
-tc capabilities per entry.
-.TP
-\fB-e\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 -I or -C.)
-.TP
-\fB-f\fR
-Display complex terminfo strings which contain if/then/else/endif expressions
-indented for readability.
-.TP
-\fB-g\fR
-Display constant character literals in quoted form
-rather than their decimal equivalents.
+\fB-v\fR\fIn\fR
+specifies that (verbose) output be written to standard error trace
+information showing \fBtic\fR's progress.
+The optional parameter \fIn\fR is a number from 1 to 10, inclusive,
+indicating the desired level of detail of information.
+If \fIn\fR is omitted, the default level is 1.
+If \fIn\fR is specified and greater than 1, the level of
+detail is increased.
