58 With no options, <STRONG>toe</STRONG> lists all available terminal types by primary name
59 with descriptions. File arguments specify the directories to be
LuK1337579c9af2025-06-22 20:01:48 +0200[diff] [blame^]60 scanned; if no such arguments are given, your default terminfo
61 directory is scanned. If you also specify the <STRONG>-h</STRONG> option, a directory
62 header will be issued as each directory is entered.
LuK1337596e22c2020-09-11 12:17:03 +0200[diff] [blame]63
64 There are other options intended for use by terminfo file maintainers:
65
66 <STRONG>-a</STRONG> report on all of the terminal databases which ncurses would
67 search, rather than only the first one that it finds.
68
LuK1337579c9af2025-06-22 20:01:48 +0200[diff] [blame^]69 If the <STRONG>-s</STRONG> is also given, <STRONG>toe</STRONG> adds a column to the report,
70 showing (like <STRONG>conflict(1)</STRONG>) which entries which belong to a given
LuK1337596e22c2020-09-11 12:17:03 +0200[diff] [blame]71 terminal database. An "*" marks entries which differ, and "+"
72 marks equivalent entries.
73
74 Without the <STRONG>-s</STRONG> option, <STRONG>toe</STRONG> does not attempt to merge duplicates
75 in its report
76
77 <STRONG>-s</STRONG> sort the output by the entry names.

LuK1337579c9af2025-06-22 20:01:48 +0200[diff] [blame^]80 says to write a report to the standard output, listing
81 dependencies in the given terminfo/termcap source file. The
82 report condenses the "use" relation: each line consists of the
83 primary name of a terminal that has use capabilities, followed
84 by a colon, followed by the whitespace-separated primary names
85 of all terminals which occur in those use capabilities, followed
86 by a newline

88 <STRONG>-U</STRONG> <EM>file</EM>
89 says to write a report to the standard output, listing reverse
90 dependencies in the given terminfo/termcap source file. The
91 report reverses the "use" relation: each line consists of the
LuK1337579c9af2025-06-22 20:01:48 +0200[diff] [blame^]92 primary name of a terminal that occurs in use capabilities,
93 followed by a colon, followed by the whitespace-separated
94 primary names of all terminals which depend on it, followed by a
95 newline.
LuK1337596e22c2020-09-11 12:17:03 +0200[diff] [blame]96
97 <STRONG>-v</STRONG><EM>n</EM> specifies that (verbose) output be written to standard error,
98 showing <STRONG>toe</STRONG>'s progress.
99
100 The optional parameter <EM>n</EM> is a number from 1 to 10, interpreted
101 as for <STRONG><A HREF="tic.1m.html">tic(1m)</A></STRONG>. If ncurses is built without tracing support,
102 the optional parameter is ignored.
103
104 <STRONG>-V</STRONG> reports the version of ncurses which was used in this program,
105 and exits.

152 This utility is not provided by other implementations. There is no
153 relevant X/Open or POSIX standard for <STRONG>toe</STRONG>.
154
155 The program name refers to a developer's pun:
156
157 <STRONG>o</STRONG> <STRONG>tic</STRONG>,
158
159 <STRONG>o</STRONG> <STRONG>tac</STRONG> (now <STRONG>tack</STRONG>),
160
161 <STRONG>o</STRONG> <STRONG>toe</STRONG>.
162
163 It replaced a <STRONG>-T</STRONG> option which was briefly supported by the ncurses
164 <STRONG>infocmp</STRONG> utility in 1995.
165
166 The <STRONG>-a</STRONG> and <STRONG>-s</STRONG> options were added to <STRONG>toe</STRONG> several years later (2006 and
167 2011, respectively).
