Dear Richard,
 
Regarding the information you give to me, I understand that this information is a thing that normally used by PostgreSQL system. And the information seem to be placed on a comment area. So, Who need to have a clearly understanding on the header information?
 
Thank you

I'm not sure that they're used for anything in that form - that's just
documenting internal details.

TOC - Table Of Contents
OID - Object IDentifier - as used by PG to reference tables,functions etc.
Dependencies - iirc is the number of references to this table (e.g.
foreign keys).
The others explain themselves.

Check the manual section on system tables, and perhaps try:
   SELECT OID,* FROM pg_class WHERE relname='t_option'
