NAME

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              Without  the -s option, toe does not attempt to merge duplicates
29              in its report
30
31       -s     sort the output by the entry names.
32
33       -u file
34              says to write a report to the standard output, listing dependen‐
35              cies in the given terminfo/termcap source file.  The report con‐
36              denses the “use” relation: each line  consists  of  the  primary
37              name  of  a  terminal  that  has use capabilities, followed by a
38              colon, followed by the whitespace-separated primary names of all
39              terminals  which  occur in those use capabilities, followed by a
40              newline
41
42       -U file
43              says to write a report to the standard output,  listing  reverse
44              dependencies  in  the  given  terminfo/termcap source file.  The
45              report reverses the “use” relation: each line  consists  of  the
46              primary name of a terminal that occurs in use capabilities, fol‐
47              lowed by a colon, followed by the  whitespace-separated  primary
48              names  of  all  terminals which depend on it, followed by a new‐
49              line.
50
51       -vn    specifies that (verbose) output be written  to  standard  error,
52              showing toe's progress.
53
54              The  optional  parameter n is a number from 1 to 10, interpreted
55              as for tic(1M).  If ncurses is built  without  tracing  support,
56              the optional parameter is ignored.
57
58       -V     reports  the  version of ncurses which was used in this program,
59              and exits.
