NAME
toe - table of (terminfo) entries
SYNOPSIS
toe [-v[n]] [-ahsuUV] file...
DESCRIPTION
With no options, toe lists all available terminal types by primary name
with descriptions. File arguments specify the directories to be
scanned; if no such arguments are given, your default terminfo direc-
tory is scanned. If you also specify the -h option, a directory header
will be issued as each directory is entered.
There are other options intended for use by terminfo file maintainers:
-a report on all of the terminal databases which ncurses would
search, rather than only the first one that it finds.
If the -s is also given, toe adds a column to the report, show-
ing (like conflict(1)) which entries which belong to a given
terminal database. An "*" marks entries which differ, and "+"
marks equivalent entries.
Without the -s option, toe does not attempt to merge duplicates
in its report
-s sort the output by the entry names.
-u file
says to write a report to the standard output, listing dependen-
cies in the given terminfo/termcap source file. The report con-
denses the "use" relation: each line consists of the primary
name of a terminal that has use capabilities, followed by a
colon, followed by the whitespace-separated primary names of all
terminals which occur in those use capabilities, followed by a
newline
-U file
says to write a report to the standard output, listing reverse
dependencies in the given terminfo/termcap source file. The
report reverses the "use" relation: each line consists of the
primary name of a terminal that occurs in use capabilities, fol-
lowed by a colon, followed by the whitespace-separated primary
names of all terminals which depend on it, followed by a new-
line.
-vn specifies that (verbose) output be written to standard error,
showing toe's progress.
The optional parameter n is a number from 1 to 10, interpreted
as for tic(1M). If ncurses is built without tracing support,
the optional parameter is ignored.
-V reports the version of ncurses which was used in this program,
and exits.
