- With no options, <STRONG>toe</STRONG> lists all available terminal types by
- 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.
-
- Without the <STRONG>-s</STRONG> option, <STRONG>toe</STRONG> does not attempt to
- merge duplicates in its report
-
- <STRONG>-s</STRONG> sort the output by the entry names.
-
- <STRONG>-u</STRONG> <EM>file</EM>
- says to write a report to the standard output,
- listing dependencies in the given terminfo/termcap
- source file. The report condenses the "use" rela-
- tion: each line consists of the primary name of a
- terminal that has use capabilities, followed by a
- colon, followed by the whitespace-separated primary
- names of all terminals which occur in those use
- capabilities, followed by a newline
-
- <STRONG>-U</STRONG> <EM>file</EM>
- says to write a report to the standard output,
- listing reverse dependencies in the given ter-
- minfo/termcap source file. The report reverses the
- "use" relation: each line consists of the primary
- name of a terminal that occurs in use capabilities,
- followed by a colon, followed by the whitespace-
- separated primary names of all terminals which
- depend on it, followed by a newline.
-
- <STRONG>-v</STRONG><EM>n</EM> specifies that (verbose) output be written to stan-
- dard error, showing <STRONG>toe</STRONG>'s progress.
-
- The optional parameter <EM>n</EM> is a number from 1 to 10,
- interpreted as for <STRONG><A HREF="tic.1m.html">tic(1m)</A></STRONG>. If ncurses is built
- without tracing support, the optional parameter is
- ignored.
-
- <STRONG>-V</STRONG> reports the version of ncurses which was used in
- this program, and exits.
