binary file (\fBterm\fR) in a variety of formats. In all cases, the boolean
fields will be printed first, followed by the numeric fields, followed by the
string fields.

.SS Default Options
If no options are specified and zero or one \fItermnames\fR are specified, the
\fB-I\fR option will be assumed. If more than one \fItermname\fR is specified,
the \fB-d\fR option will be assumed.
-..
.SS Comparison Options [-d] [-c] [-n]
\fBinfocmp\fR compares the \fBterminfo\fR description of the first terminal
\fItermname\fR with each of the descriptions given by the entries for the other
entry. If no \fItermnames\fR are given, the environment variable \fBTERM\fR
will be used for both of the \fItermnames\fR. This can be used as a quick
check to see if anything was left out of a description.
-..
.SS Source Listing Options [-I] [-L] [-C] [-r]
The \fB-I\fR, \fB-L\fR, and \fB-C\fR options will produce a source listing for
each terminal named.
the compilation time, is specifying extra \fBuse=\fR fields that are
superfluous. \fBinfocmp\fR will flag any other \fItermname use=\fR fields that
were not needed.
-..
.SS Changing Databases [-A \fIdirectory\fR] [-B \fIdirectory\fR]
The location of the compiled \fBterminfo\fR database is taken from the
environment variable \fBTERMINFO\fR . If the variable is not defined, or the
terminal is not found in that location, the system \fBterminfo\fR database,
-in \fB@DATADIR@/terminfo\fR, will be used. The options \fB-A\fR
+in \fB@TERMINFO@\fR, will be used. The options \fB-A\fR
and \fB-B\fR may be used to override this location. The \fB-A\fR option will
set \fBTERMINFO\fR for the first \fItermname\fR and the \fB-B\fR option will
set \fBTERMINFO\fR for the other \fItermnames\fR. With this, it is possible to
compare descriptions for a terminal with the same name located in two different
databases. This is useful for comparing descriptions for the same terminal
created by different people.
-..
-.SS Other Options [-s d|i|l|c] [-1FTVefip] [-Rsubset] [-v \fIn\fR] [-w \fIwidth\fR]
-The \fB-s\fR option sorts the fields within each type according to the argument
-below:
-..
-.TP 5
-\fBd\fR
-leave fields in the order that they are stored in the \fIterminfo\fR database.
-.TP 5
-\fBi\fR
-sort by \fIterminfo\fR name.
-.TP 5
-\fBl\fR
-sort by the long C variable name.
-.TP 5
-\fBc\fR
-sort by the \fItermcap\fR name.
-
-If the \fB-s\fR option is not given, the fields printed out will be
-sorted alphabetically by the \fBterminfo\fR name within each type,
-except in the case of the \fB-C\fR or the \fB-L\fR options, which cause the
-sorting to be done by the \fBtermcap\fR name or the long C variable
-name, respectively.
+.SS Other Options
.TP 5
\fB-1\fR
causes the fields to be printed out one to a line. Otherwise,
the fields will be printed several to a line to a maximum width
of 60 characters.
-.TP 5
-\fB-F\fR
-compare terminfo files. This assumes that two following arguments are
-filenames. The files are searched for pairwise matches between
-entries, with two entries considered to match if any of their names do.
-The report printed to standard output lists entries with no matches in
-the other file, and entries with more than one match. For entries
-with exactly one match it includes a difference report.
.TP
-\fB-G\fR
-Display constant literals in decimal form
-rather than their character equivalents.
-.TP 5
-\fB-R\fR\fIsubset\fR
-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 don't support
-the full set of SVR4/XSI Curses terminfo; and outright broken ports like AIX
-that have their own extensions incompatible with SVr4/XSI. Available terminfo
-subsets are "SVr1", "Ultrix", "HP", and "AIX"; see \fBterminfo\fR(\*n) for
-details. You can also choose the subset "BSD" which selects only capabilities
-with termcap equivalents recognized by 4.4BSD.
-.TP 5
-\fB-T\fR
-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).
-.TP 5
-\fB-V\fR
-prints out the version of the program in use on standard error and exits.
-.TP 5
-\fB-e\fR
-Dump the capabilities of the given terminal as a C initializer for a
-TERMTYPE structure (the terminal capability structure in the \fB<term.h>\fR).
-This option is useful for preparing versions of the curses library hardwired
-for a given terminal type.
+\fB-a\fR
+tells \fBinfocmp\fP to retain commented-out capabilities rather than discarding
+them. Capabilities are commented by prefixing them with a period.
.TP 5
\fB-E\fR
Dump the capabilities of the given terminal as tables, needed in
Before ncurses 5.0, the split between the \fB\-e\fP and \fB\-E\fP
options was not needed; but support for extended names required making
the arrays of terminal capabilities separate from the TERMTYPE structure.
-.TP
+.TP 5
+\fB-e\fR
+Dump the capabilities of the given terminal as a C initializer for a
+TERMTYPE structure (the terminal capability structure in the \fB<term.h>\fR).
+This option is useful for preparing versions of the curses library hardwired
+for a given terminal type.
+.TP 5
+\fB-F\fR
+compare terminfo files. This assumes that two following arguments are
+filenames. The files are searched for pairwise matches between
+entries, with two entries considered to match if any of their names do.
+The report printed to standard output lists entries with no matches in
+the other file, and entries with more than one match. For entries
+with exactly one match it includes a difference report. Normally,
+to reduce the volume of the report, use references are
+not resolved before looking for differences, but resolution can be forced
+by also specifying \fB-r\fR.
+.TP 5
\fB-f\fR
Display complex terminfo strings which contain if/then/else/endif expressions
indented for readability.
-.TP
+.TP 5
+\fB-G\fR
+Display constant literals in decimal form
+rather than their character equivalents.
+.TP 5
\fB-g\fR
Display constant character literals in quoted form
rather than their decimal equivalents.
An SGR0 designates an empty highlight sequence (equivalent to {SGR:NORMAL}).
.TP 5
+\bB-l\fR
+Set output format to terminfo.
+.TP 5
\fB-p\fR
Ignore padding specifications when comparing strings.
.TP 5
+\fB-q\fR
+Make the comparison listing shorter by omitting subheadings, and using
+"-" for absent capabilities, "@" for canceled rather than "NULL".
+.TP 5
+\fB-R\fR\fIsubset\fR
+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 incompatible with SVr4/XSI. Available terminfo
+subsets are "SVr1", "Ultrix", "HP", and "AIX"; see \fBterminfo\fR(\*n) for

+tells \fBtic\fP to discard commented-out capabilities.
+Normally when translating from terminfo to termcap,
+untranslatable capabilities are commented-out.
+.TP 5
+\fB-V\fR
+reports the version of ncurses which was used in this program, and exits.
+.TP 5
\fB-v\fR \fIn\fR
prints out tracing information on standard error as the program runs.
Higher values of n induce greater verbosity.
