31 .TH @TOE@ 1M 2023-09-16 "ncurses 6.4" "User commands"
63 list table of entries of \fIterminfo\fR terminal types
65 \fB@TOE@\fP [\fB\-v\fP[\fIn\fP]] [\fB\-ahsuUV\fP] \fIfile...\fP
68 \fB@TOE@\fP lists all available terminal types by primary name
70 File arguments specify the directories to be scanned; if no
71 such arguments are given,
72 your default terminfo directory is scanned.
73 If you also specify the \fB\-h\fP option,
74 a directory header will be issued as each
77 There are other options intended for use by terminfo file maintainers:
80 report on all of the terminal databases which ncurses would search,
81 rather than only the first one that it finds.
83 If the \fB\-s\fP is also given, \fB@TOE@\fP
84 adds a column to the report,
85 showing (like \fBconflict\fP(1)) which entries which
86 belong to a given terminal database.
87 An "*" marks entries which differ, and "+" marks equivalent entries.
89 Without the \fB\-s\fP option, \fB@TOE@\fP does not attempt to merge
90 duplicates in its report
93 sort the output by the entry names.
96 says to write a report to the standard output,
97 listing dependencies in the given terminfo/termcap source file.
98 The report condenses the \*(``use\*('' relation:
99 each line consists of the primary name of a terminal that
100 has use capabilities,
103 whitespace-separated primary names of all terminals which occur in those use
105 followed by a newline
108 says to write a report to the standard output,
109 listing reverse dependencies in the given terminfo/termcap source file.
110 The report reverses the \*(``use\*('' relation:
111 each line consists of the primary name of a
112 terminal that occurs in use capabilities,
115 whitespace-separated primary names of all terminals which depend on it,
116 followed by a newline.
119 specifies that (verbose) output be written to standard error,
120 showing \fB@TOE@\fP's progress.
122 The optional parameter \fIn\fP is a number from 1 to 10,
123 interpreted as for \fB@TIC@\fP(1M).
124 If ncurses is built without tracing support, the optional parameter is ignored.
127 reports the version of ncurses which was used in this program,
130 Without sorting, the \fB\-a\fP option reports all of the names found
131 in all of the terminal databases found by the \fBTERMINFO\fP and
132 \fBTERMINFO_DIRS\fP environment variables:
134 MtxOrb162 16x2 Matrix Orbital LCD display
135 MtxOrb204 20x4 Matrix Orbital LCD display
136 MtxOrb Generic Matrix Orbital LCD display
137 qvt101+ qume qvt 101 PLUS product

142 qansi-w QNX ansi for windows
143 qnxm QNX4 with mouse events
144 qvt203-25-w QVT 203 PLUS with 25 by 132 columns
145 qansi-t QNX ansi without console writes
149 Use the \fB\-a\fP and \fB\-s\fP options together to show where each terminal

170 Compiled terminal description database.
172 This utility is not provided by other implementations.
173 There is no relevant X/Open or POSIX standard for \fB@TOE@\fP.
175 The program name refers to a developer's pun:
179 \fBtac\fP (now \fBtack\fP),
183 It replaced a \fB\-T\fP option which was briefly supported by
184 the ncurses \fBinfocmp\fP utility in 1995.
186 The \fB\-a\fP and \fB\-s\fP options were added to
187 \fB@TOE@\fP several years later (2006 and 2011, respectively).
189 \fB@CAPTOINFO@\fP(1M),
191 \fB@INFOTOCAP@\fP(1M),
196 This describes \fBncurses\fP
197 version @NCURSES_MAJOR@.@NCURSES_MINOR@ (patch @NCURSES_PATCH@).
