57 With no options, <STRONG>toe</STRONG> lists all available terminal types by primary name
58 with descriptions. File arguments specify the directories to be
59 scanned; if no such arguments are given, your default terminfo direc-
60 tory is scanned. If you also specify the <STRONG>-h</STRONG> option, a directory header
61 will be issued as each directory is entered.
63 There are other options intended for use by terminfo file maintainers:
65 <STRONG>-a</STRONG> report on all of the terminal databases which ncurses would
66 search, rather than only the first one that it finds.
68 If the <STRONG>-s</STRONG> is also given, <STRONG>toe</STRONG> adds a column to the report, show-
69 ing (like <STRONG>conflict(1)</STRONG>) which entries which belong to a given
70 terminal database. An "*" marks entries which differ, and "+"
71 marks equivalent entries.
73 Without the <STRONG>-s</STRONG> option, <STRONG>toe</STRONG> does not attempt to merge duplicates
76 <STRONG>-s</STRONG> sort the output by the entry names.
78 <STRONG>-u</STRONG> <EM>file</EM>
79 says to write a report to the standard output, listing dependen-
80 cies in the given terminfo/termcap source file. The report con-
81 denses the "use" relation: each line consists of the primary
82 name of a terminal that has use capabilities, followed by a
83 colon, followed by the whitespace-separated primary names of all
84 terminals which occur in those use capabilities, followed by a
87 <STRONG>-U</STRONG> <EM>file</EM>
88 says to write a report to the standard output, listing reverse
89 dependencies in the given terminfo/termcap source file. The
90 report reverses the "use" relation: each line consists of the
91 primary name of a terminal that occurs in use capabilities, fol-
92 lowed by a colon, followed by the whitespace-separated primary
93 names of all terminals which depend on it, followed by a new-
96 <STRONG>-v</STRONG><EM>n</EM> specifies that (verbose) output be written to standard error,
97 showing <STRONG>toe</STRONG>'s progress.
99 The optional parameter <EM>n</EM> is a number from 1 to 10, interpreted
100 as for <STRONG><A HREF="tic.1m.html">tic(1m)</A></STRONG>. If ncurses is built without tracing support,
101 the optional parameter is ignored.

151 This utility is not provided by other implementations. There is no
152 relevant X/Open or POSIX standard for <STRONG>toe</STRONG>.

162 It replaced a <STRONG>-T</STRONG> option which was briefly supported by the ncurses
163 <STRONG>infocmp</STRONG> utility in 1995.
