The -d option, which must be the first argument if it appears, supplies
a directory which is the NetHack playground. It overrides the value
from NETHACKDIR, HACKDIR, or the directory specified by the game admin-
istrator during compilation (usually /usr/games/lib/nethackdir).
For recovery to be possible, nethack must have been compiled with the
INSURANCE option, and the run-time option checkpoint must also have
been on. NetHack normally writes out files for levels as the player
leaves them, so they will be ready for return visits. When checkpoint-
ing, NetHack also writes out the level entered and the current game
state on every level change. This naturally slows level changes down
somewhat.
