NAME

6       toe - table of (terminfo) entries
7

SYNOPSIS

9       toe [-v[n]] [-ahsuUV] file...
10

DESCRIPTION

12       With no options, toe lists all available terminal types by primary name
13       with descriptions.   File  arguments  specify  the  directories  to  be
14       scanned;  if  no such arguments are given, your default terminfo direc‐
15       tory is scanned.  If you also specify the -h option, a directory header
16       will be issued as each directory is entered.
17
18       There are other options intended for use by terminfo file maintainers:
19
20       -a     report  on  all  of  the  terminal databases which ncurses would
21              search, rather than only the first one that it finds.
22
23              If the -s is also given, toe adds a column to the report,  show‐
24              ing  (like  conflict(1))  which  entries which belong to a given
25              terminal database.  An "*" marks entries which differ,  and  "+"
26              marks equivalent entries.
27
28       -s     sort the output by the entry names.
29
30       -u file
31              says to write a report to the standard output, listing dependen‐
32              cies in the given terminfo/termcap source file.  The report con‐
33              denses  the  `use'  relation:  each line consists of the primary
34              name of a terminal that has  use  capabilities,  followed  by  a
35              colon, followed by the whitespace-separated primary names of all
36              terminals which occur in those use capabilities, followed  by  a
37              newline
38
39       -U file
40              says  to  write a report to the standard output, listing reverse
41              dependencies in the given  terminfo/termcap  source  file.   The
42              report  reverses  the  `use' relation: each line consists of the
43              primary name of a terminal that occurs in use capabilities, fol‐
44              lowed  by  a colon, followed by the whitespace-separated primary
45              names of all terminals which depend on it, followed  by  a  new‐
46              line.
47
48       -vn    specifies  that  (verbose)  output be written to standard error,
49              showing toe's progress.  The optional parameter n  is  a  number
50              from 1 to 10, interpreted as for tic(1M).
51
52       -V     reports  the  version of ncurses which was used in this program,
53              and exits.
