32 .TH @TOE@ 1M 2023-10-21 "ncurses 6.4" "User commands"
57 list table of entries of \fIterminfo\fR terminal types
72 \fB\%@TOE@\fP reports to the standard output stream the (primary) names
73 and descriptions of the terminal types available to the \fIterminfo\fP
75 Each \fIdirectory\fP operand is scanned;
77 \fB\%@TOE@\fP scans the the default \fIterminfo\fP directory.
79 The \fB\-h\fP option can be helpful to observe where \fB\%@TOE@\fP is
80 looking for terminal descriptions.
81 Other options support maintainers of \fIterminfo\fP terminal
83 .TP 9 \" "-u file" + 2n
85 lists entries from all terminal database directories that \fIterminfo\fP
87 instead of only the first that it finds.
89 If the \fB\-s\fP option is also given,
90 \fB\%@TOE@\fP adds a column to the report,
91 showing (like \fB\%conflict\fP(1)) which entries belong to a given
93 An \*(``*\*('' marks entries that differ,
94 and \*(``+\*('' marks equivalent entries.
96 Without the \fB\-s\fP option,
97 \fB\%@TOE@\fP does not attempt to merge duplicates in its report.
100 writes a heading naming each each directory as it is accessed.
103 sorts the output by the entry names.
106 lists terminal type dependencies in \fIfile\fP,
107 a \fIterminfo\fP entry source or \fItermcap\fP database file.
108 The report summarizes the \*(``\fBuse\fP\*('' (\fIterminfo\fP) and
109 \fBtc\fP (\fItermcap\fP) relations:
110 each line comprises the primary name of a terminal type employing
111 \fBuse\fP/\fBtc\fP capabilities,
113 a space- and tab-separated list of primary names of terminal types thus
118 lists terminal type reverse dependencies in \fIfile\fP,
119 a \fIterminfo\fP entry source or \fItermcap\fP database file.
120 The report summarizes the \*(``\fBuse\fP\*('' (\fIterminfo\fP) and
121 \fBtc\fP (\fItermcap\fP) reverse relations:
122 each line comprises the primary name of a terminal type occurring in
123 \fBuse\fP/\fBtc\fP capabilities,
125 a space- and tab-separated list of primary names of terminal types
131 reports verbose status information to the standard error stream,
132 showing \fB\%@TOE@\fP's progress.
134 The optional parameter \fIn\fP is an integer between 1 and 10 inclusive,
135 interpreted as for \fB\%@TIC@\fP(1M).
136 If \fIncurses\fP is built without tracing support,
140 reports the version of \fIncurses\fP associated
141 with this program and exits with a successful status.
143 When not sorting with the \fB\-s\fP option,
144 the \fB\-a\fP option reports all of the names found in all of the
145 terminal database directories named in the \fB\%TERMINFO\fP and
146 \fB\%TERMINFO_DIRS\fP environment variables.

208 \fB\%@TOE@\fP is not provided by other implementations.
209 There is no applicable X/Open or POSIX standard for it.
211 It replaces a \fB\-T\fP option that was briefly supported by
212 the \fIncurses\fP \fB\%infocmp\fP utility in 1995.
214 The \fB\-a\fP and \fB\-s\fP options were added in 2006 and 2011,
217 The program's name originates with a developer's pun:
221 \fBtac\fP (now \fBtack\fP),
225 \fB\%@CAPTOINFO@\fP(1M),
226 \fB\%@INFOCMP@\fP(1M),
