.PP
-With no options, \fBtoe\fR 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 directory is scanned. If you
-also specify the \fB-h\fR option, a directory header will be issued as each
-directory is entered.

+.RB [ \-u | \-U ]

.PP
-There are other options intended for use by terminfo file maintainers:
+.B "@TOE@ \-V"
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fB\%@TOE@\fP reports to the standard output stream the (primary) names
+and descriptions of the terminal types available to the \fIterminfo\fP
+library.
+Each \fIdirectory\fP is scanned;
+if none are given,
+\fB\%@TOE@\fP scans the default \fIterminfo\fP directory.
+.SH OPTIONS
+The \fB\-h\fP option can be helpful to observe where \fB\%@TOE@\fP is
+looking for terminal descriptions.
+Other options support maintainers of \fIterminfo\fP terminal
+descriptions.
+.TP 9 \" "-u file" + 2n
+.B \-a
+lists entries from all terminal database directories that \fIterminfo\fP
+would search,
+instead of only the first that it finds.
+.IP
+If
+.B \-s
+is also given,
+\fB\%@TOE@\fP
+additionally reports,
+like \fI\%conflict\fP(1),
+which entries correspond to a given terminal database.
+An \*(``*\*('' marks entries that differ,
+and \*(``+\*('' marks equivalent entries.
+.IP
+Without the \fB\-s\fP option,
+\fB\%@TOE@\fP does not attempt to merge duplicates in its report.
+.TP
+.B \-h
+writes a heading naming each each directory as it is accessed.
.TP
-\fB-a\fR
-report on all of the terminal databases which ncurses would search,
-rather than only the first one that it finds.
+.B \-s
+sorts the output by the entry names.
.TP
-\fB-u\fR \fIfile\fR
-says to issue a report on dependencies in the given file. This report condenses
-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
+.BI \-u\ file
+lists terminal type dependencies in \fIfile\fP,
+a \fIterminfo\fP entry source or \fItermcap\fP database file.
+The report summarizes the \*(``\fBuse\fP\*('' (\fIterminfo\fP) and
+\fBtc\fP (\fItermcap\fP) relations:
+each line comprises the primary name of a terminal type employing
+\fBuse\fP/\fBtc\fP capabilities,
+a colon,
+a space- and tab-separated list of primary names of terminal types thus
+named,
+and a newline.
.TP
-\fB-U\fR \fIfile\fR
-says to issue a report on reverse dependencies in the given file. This report
-reverses the `use' relation: each line consists of the primary name of a
-terminal that occurs in use capabilities, followed by a colon, followed by the
-whitespace-separated primary names of all terminals which depend on it,
-followed by a newline.
+.BI \-U\ file
+lists terminal type reverse dependencies in \fIfile\fP,
+a \fIterminfo\fP entry source or \fItermcap\fP database file.
+The report summarizes the \*(``\fBuse\fP\*('' (\fIterminfo\fP) and
+\fBtc\fP (\fItermcap\fP) reverse relations:
+each line comprises the primary name of a terminal type occurring in
+\fBuse\fP/\fBtc\fP capabilities,
+a colon,
+a space- and tab-separated list of primary names of terminal types
+naming them thus,
+and a newline.
.TP
-\fB-v\fR\fIn\fR
-specifies that (verbose) output be written to standard error,
-showing \fBtoe\fR's progress.
-The optional parameter \fIn\fR is a number from 1 to 10,
-interpreted as for \fB@TIC@\fR(1M).
+.BR \-v\ [\c
+.IR n ]
+reports verbose status information to the standard error stream,
+showing \fB\%@TOE@\fP's progress.
+.IP
+The optional parameter \fIn\fP is an integer between 1 and 10 inclusive,
+interpreted as for \fB\%@TIC@\fP(1M).
+If \fI\%ncurses\fP is built without tracing support,
+\fIn\fP is ignored.
.TP
-\fB-V\fR
-reports the version of ncurses which was used in this program, and exits.
+\fB\-V\fP
+reports the version of \fI\%ncurses\fP associated
+with this program and exits with a successful status.

+.SH PORTABILITY
+\fB\%@TOE@\fP is not provided by other implementations.
+There is no applicable X/Open or POSIX standard for it.
+.SH HISTORY
+\fB\%@TOE@\fP replaces a \fB\-T\fP option that was briefly supported by
+the \fI\%ncurses\fP \fB\%infocmp\fP utility in 1995.

+The \fB\-a\fP and \fB\-s\fP options were added in 2006 and 2011,
+respectively.
+.PP
+The program's name originates with a developer's pun:
+.bP
+\fBtic\fP,
+.bP
+\fBtac\fP (now \fBtack\fP),
+.bP
+\fBtoe\fP.
+.SH EXAMPLES
+When not sorting with the \fB\-s\fP option,
+the \fB\-a\fP option reports all of the names found in all of the
+terminal database directories named in the \fI\%TERMINFO\fP and
+\fI\%TERMINFO_DIRS\fP environment variables.
