BACKUP verify in TSQL

    I am missing something - In SQL Server 2008 I can backup a database with "reliability" options including "Verify backup when finished" and "Perform a checksum". How can I use these options in a T-SQL backup of a database?

    I know that the true test is to restore and run a DBCC, but short of that how can TSQL be told to VERIFY?

    Thank you for any assistance.
