- <B>-a</B> tells <B>infocmp</B> to retain commented-out capabilities
- rather than discarding them. Capabilities are com-
- mented by prefixing them with a period.
-
- <B>-q</B> Make the comparison listing shorter by omitting sub-
- headings, and using "-" for absent capabilities, "@"
- for canceled rather than "NULL".
-
- <B>-R</B><I>subset</I>
- Restrict output to a given subset. This option is
- for use with archaic versions of terminfo like those
- on SVr1, Ultrix, or HP/UX that do not support the
- full set of SVR4/XSI Curses terminfo; and variants
- such as AIX that have their own extensions incompati-
- ble with SVr4/XSI. Available terminfo subsets are
- "SVr1", "Ultrix", "HP", and "AIX"; see <B><A HREF="terminfo.5.html">terminfo(5)</A></B>
- for details. You can also choose the subset "BSD"
- which selects only capabilities with termcap equiva-
- lents recognized by 4.4BSD.
-
- <B>-T</B> eliminates size-restrictions on the generated text.
- This is mainly useful for testing and analysis, since
- the compiled descriptions are limited (e.g., 1023 for
- termcap, 4096 for terminfo).
-
- <B>-V</B> reports the version of ncurses which was used in this
- program, and exits.
-
- <B>-e</B> Dump the capabilities of the given terminal as a C
- initializer for a TERMTYPE structure (the terminal
- capability structure in the <B><term.h></B>). This option
- is useful for preparing versions of the curses
- library hardwired for a given terminal type.
-
- <B>-E</B> Dump the capabilities of the given terminal as
- tables, needed in the C initializer for a TERMTYPE
- structure (the terminal capability structure in the
- <B><term.h></B>). This option is useful for preparing ver-
- sions of the curses library hardwired for a given
- terminal type. The tables are all declared static,
- and are named according to the type and the name of
- the corresponding terminal entry.
-
- Before ncurses 5.0, the split between the <B>-e</B> and <B>-E</B>
- options was not needed; but support for extended
- names required making the arrays of terminal capabil-
- ities separate from the TERMTYPE structure.
-
- <B>-f</B> Display complex terminfo strings which contain
