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

152 This utility is not provided by other implementations. There is no
153 relevant X/Open or POSIX standard for <STRONG>toe</STRONG>.
155 The program name refers to a developer's pun:

159 <STRONG>o</STRONG> <STRONG>tac</STRONG> (now <STRONG>tack</STRONG>),
161 <STRONG>o</STRONG> <STRONG>toe</STRONG>.
163 It replaced a <STRONG>-T</STRONG> option which was briefly supported by the ncurses
164 <STRONG>infocmp</STRONG> utility in 1995.
166 The <STRONG>-a</STRONG> and <STRONG>-s</STRONG> options were added to <STRONG>toe</STRONG> several years later (2006 and
