      <listitem>
      <para>
      Put all query output into file <replaceable

      <listitem>
      <para>
      Specifies the TCP port or the local Unix-domain
      socket file extension on which the server is listening for
      connections. Defaults to the value of the <envar>PGPORT</envar>

      <listitem>
      <para>
      Specifies printing options, in the style of
      <command>\pset</command>. Note that here you
      have to separate name and value with an equal sign instead of a
      space. For example, to set the output format to <application>LaTeX</application>, you could write
      <literal>-P format=latex</literal>.

      <para>
      Specifies that <application>psql</application> should do its work
      quietly. By default, it prints welcome messages and various
      informational output. If this option is used, none of this
      happens. This is useful with the <option>-c</option> option.
      This is equivalent to setting the variable <varname>QUIET</varname>
