- With no options, toe 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 -h option, a directory header will be
- issued as each directory is entered.
-
- There are other options intended for use by terminfo file
- maintainers:
-
- -a report on all of the terminal databases which
- ncurses would search, rather than only the first
- one that it finds.
-
- If the -s is also given, toe adds a column to the
- report, showing (like conflict(1)) which entries
- which belong to a given terminal database. An "*"
- marks entries which differ, and "+" marks equiva-
- lent entries.

- names of all terminals which occur in those use
- capabilities, followed by a newline
