To win the game (as opposed to merely playing to beat other people's
high scores) you must locate the Amulet of Yendor which is somewhere
below the 20th level of the dungeon and get it out. Few people achieve
this; most never do. Those who have done so go down in history as he-
roes among heroes -- and then they find ways of making the game even

--no-nethackrc option can be used to skip any run-time configuration

Some options provide feedback and then exit rather than play the game:
The -s or --scores option alone will print out the list of your scores
on the current version. An immediately following -v reports on all
versions present in the score file. `-s|-s -v' may also be followed by
versions present in the score file. '-s|-s -v' may also be followed by
arguments -p profession and -r race to print the scores of particular
roles and races only. Either can be specified multiple times to
include more than one role or more than one race. When both are speci-
fied, score entries which match either the role or the race (or both)
are printed rather than just entries which match both. `-s|-s -v' may
are printed rather than just entries which match both. '-s|-s -v' may
be followed by one or more player names to print the scores of the
players mentioned, by 'all' to print out all scores, or by a number to
print that many top scores. Combining names with role or race or both
will report entries which match any of those rather than just the ones
which match all.
--version can be used to cause NetHack to show the version information
it was compiled with, then exit. That will include the git commit hash
if the information was available when the game was compiled. On some
platforms, such as Windows and macOS, a variation --version:copy can be
used to cause NetHack to show the version information, then exit, while
also leaving a copy of the version information in the paste buffer or
clipboard for potential insertion into things like bug reports.
--version or --version:show can be used to cause NetHack to show the
version number, the date and time that the program was built from its
source code, and possibly some auxiliary information about that source
code, then exit. The optional auxiliary information is git commit hash
(reflecting the source code's most recent modification when extracted
from the git version control system, if that is in use) if available
when the program was built. On some platforms such as Windows and
macOS, a variation, --version:copy, can be used to cause NetHack to
show the version information, then exit, while also leaving a copy of
that information in the paste buffer or clipboard for potential inser-
tion into things like bug reports. On any platform, --version:dump can
be used to show most of the data used when checking whether a save file
or bones file is compatible with the program. The program will display
a line containing five numbers expressed in hexadecimal, then exit.
--showpaths can be used to cause NetHack to show where it is expecting
to find various files. Among other things it shows the path to and
name for the player's run-time configuration file, a text file which
