32 .TH @TOE@ 1M 2024-01-13 "ncurses 6.4" "User commands"
56 list table of entries of \fIterminfo\fR terminal types
71 \fB\%@TOE@\fP reports to the standard output stream the (primary) names
72 and descriptions of the terminal types available to the \fIterminfo\fP
74 Each \fIdirectory\fP is scanned;
76 \fB\%@TOE@\fP scans the default \fIterminfo\fP directory.
78 The \fB\-h\fP option can be helpful to observe where \fB\%@TOE@\fP is
79 looking for terminal descriptions.
80 Other options support maintainers of \fIterminfo\fP terminal
82 .TP 9 \" "-u file" + 2n
84 lists entries from all terminal database directories that \fIterminfo\fP
86 instead of only the first that it finds.
88 If the \fB\-s\fP option is also given,
89 \fB\%@TOE@\fP adds a column to the report,
90 showing (like \fB\%conflict\fP(1)) which entries belong to a given
92 An \*(``*\*('' marks entries that differ,
93 and \*(``+\*('' marks equivalent entries.
95 Without the \fB\-s\fP option,
96 \fB\%@TOE@\fP does not attempt to merge duplicates in its report.
99 writes a heading naming each each directory as it is accessed.
102 sorts the output by the entry names.
105 lists terminal type dependencies in \fIfile\fP,
106 a \fIterminfo\fP entry source or \fItermcap\fP database file.
107 The report summarizes the \*(``\fBuse\fP\*('' (\fIterminfo\fP) and
108 \fBtc\fP (\fItermcap\fP) relations:
109 each line comprises the primary name of a terminal type employing
110 \fBuse\fP/\fBtc\fP capabilities,
112 a space- and tab-separated list of primary names of terminal types thus
117 lists terminal type reverse dependencies in \fIfile\fP,
118 a \fIterminfo\fP entry source or \fItermcap\fP database file.
119 The report summarizes the \*(``\fBuse\fP\*('' (\fIterminfo\fP) and
120 \fBtc\fP (\fItermcap\fP) reverse relations:
121 each line comprises the primary name of a terminal type occurring in
122 \fBuse\fP/\fBtc\fP capabilities,
124 a space- and tab-separated list of primary names of terminal types
130 reports verbose status information to the standard error stream,
131 showing \fB\%@TOE@\fP's progress.
133 The optional parameter \fIn\fP is an integer between 1 and 10 inclusive,
134 interpreted as for \fB\%@TIC@\fP(1M).
135 If \fI\%ncurses\fP is built without tracing support,
139 reports the version of \fI\%ncurses\fP associated
140 with this program and exits with a successful status.
144 compiled terminal description database
146 \fB\%@TOE@\fP is not provided by other implementations.
147 There is no applicable X/Open or POSIX standard for it.
149 \fB\%@TOE@\fP replaces a \fB\-T\fP option that was briefly supported by
150 the \fI\%ncurses\fP \fB\%infocmp\fP utility in 1995.
152 The \fB\-a\fP and \fB\-s\fP options were added in 2006 and 2011,
155 The program's name originates with a developer's pun:
159 \fBtac\fP (now \fBtack\fP),
163 When not sorting with the \fB\-s\fP option,
164 the \fB\-a\fP option reports all of the names found in all of the
165 terminal database directories named in the \fI\%TERMINFO\fP and
166 \fI\%TERMINFO_DIRS\fP environment variables.
