- X/Open Curses, Issue 7 (2009) provides a brief description of <B>tic</B>. It
- lists one option: <B>-c</B>. The omission of <B>-v</B> is unexpected. The change
- history states that the description is derived from True64 UNIX.
- According to its manual pages, that system also supported the <B>-v</B>
- option.
-
- Shortly after Issue 7 was released, Tru64 was discontinued. As of
- 2019, the surviving implementations of <B>tic</B> are SVr4 (AIX, HP-UX and
- Solaris), ncurses and NetBSD curses. The SVr4 <B>tic</B> programs all support
- the <B>-v</B> option. The NetBSD <B>tic</B> program follows X/Open's documentation,
- omitting the <B>-v</B> option.
-
- The X/Open rationale states that some implementations of <B>tic</B> read
- terminal descriptions from the standard input if the <I>file</I> parameter is
- omitted. None of these implementations do that. Further, it comments
- that some may choose to read from "./terminfo.src" but that is
- obsolescent behavior from SVr2, and is not (for example) a documented
