- 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 <STRONG>-h</STRONG> option, a directory header will be
- issued as each directory is entered.
-
- There are other options intended for use by terminfo file
- maintainers:
-
- <STRONG>-a</STRONG> report on all of the terminal databases which
- ncurses would search, rather than only the first
- one that it finds.
-
- If the <STRONG>-s</STRONG> is also given, <STRONG>toe</STRONG> adds a column to the
- report, showing (like <STRONG>conflict(1)</STRONG>) which entries
- which belong to a given terminal database. An "*"
- marks entries which differ, and "+" marks equiva-
- lent entries.
