+
+   Use the :method:`cursor.addOption()` method on a cursor to add
+   ``OP_QUERY`` wire protocol flags, such as the ``tailable`` flag.
+
+   :param flag: ``OP_QUERY`` wire protocol flag. See :meta-driver:`MongoDB

+                information on MongoDB Wire Protocols and the OP_QUERY
+                flags.
+
+   For the :program:`mongo` shell, see the list of :ref:`cursor flags
+   <cursor-flags>` available in the shell. For the driver-specific
+   list, see your :doc:`driver documentation </applications/drivers>`.
+
+   The following example in the :program:`mongo` shell adds the
+   ``DBQuery.Option.tailable`` flag to ensure the cursor returned from
+   the query is a tailable cursor:
+
+   .. code-block:: javascript
+
+      var t = db.myCappedCollection;
+      var cursor = t.find().addOption(DBQuery.Option.tailable);
+
+   .. warning:: 
+      
+      Adding incorrect wire protocol flags can cause problems and/or
+      extra server load.
