       -num id
	      Print the value of the numeric variable id.

       -str id
	      Print the value of the string variable id.

       -goto col line
	      Generates instructions to go to the given column and line if the cm capability exists.

       -echo string
	      Prints string.  Any other argument that does not start with a dash is also printed.

EXAMPLE

       Try this: tget -str so 'Reverse Video' -str se

ENVIRONMENT

       TERM	      Terminal type.

       TERMCAP	      Path to the termcap database, by default /etc/termcap:/usr/etc/termcap.
