- <STRONG>-V</STRONG> reports the version of ncurses which was used in
- this program, and exits.
-
- <STRONG>-v</STRONG><EM>n</EM> specifies that (verbose) output be written to stan-
- dard error trace information showing <STRONG>tic</STRONG>'s
- progress. The optional integer <EM>n</EM> is a number from
- 1 to 10, inclusive, indicating the desired level of
- detail of information. If <EM>n</EM> is omitted, the
- default level is 1. If <EM>n</EM> is specified and greater
- than 1, the level of detail is increased.
-
- <STRONG>-w</STRONG><EM>n</EM> specifies the width of the output.
-
- <STRONG>-x</STRONG> Treat unknown capabilities as user-defined. That
- is, if you supply a capability name which <STRONG>tic</STRONG> does
- not recognize, it will infer its type (boolean,
- number or string) from the syntax and make an
- extended table entry for that.
-
- <EM>file</EM> contains one or more <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG> terminal descriptions
- in source format [see <STRONG><A HREF="terminfo.5.html">terminfo(5)</A></STRONG>]. Each descrip-
- tion in the file describes the capabilities of a
- particular terminal.
+ <STRONG>-U</STRONG> tells <STRONG>tic</STRONG> to not post-process the data after parsing

+
+ <STRONG>-w</STRONG><EM>n</EM> specifies the width of the output. The parameter is
+ optional. If it is omitted, it defaults to 60.
+
+ <STRONG>-x</STRONG> Treat unknown capabilities as user-defined. That is,
+ if you supply a capability name which <STRONG>tic</STRONG> does not
+ recognize, it will infer its type (boolean, number or
+ string) from the syntax and make an extended table
+ entry for that. User-defined capability strings
+ whose name begins with ``k'' are treated as function
