.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
-With no options, \fBtoe\fR 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 \fB-h\fR option, a directory header will be issued as each
+With no options,
+\fB@TOE@\fR 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 \fB\-h\fR option,
+a directory header will be issued as each
directory is entered.
.PP
There are other options intended for use by terminfo file maintainers:
.TP
-\fB-u\fR \fIfile\fR
-says to issue a report on dependencies in the given file. This report condenses
-the `use' relation: each line consists of the primary name of a terminal that
-has use capabilities, followed by a colon, followed by the
+\fB\-a\fR
+report on all of the terminal databases which ncurses would search,
+rather than only the first one that it finds.
+.IP
+If the \fB\-s\fR is also given, \fB@TOE@\fR
+adds a column to the report,
+showing (like \fBconflict\fP(1)) which entries which
+belong to a given terminal database.
+An "*" marks entries which differ, and "+" marks equivalent entries.
+.IP
+Without the \fB\-s\fP option, \fB@TOE@\fR does not attempt to merge
+duplicates in its report
+.TP
+\fB\-s\fR
+sort the output by the entry names.
+.TP
+\fB\-u\fR \fIfile\fR
+says to write a report to the standard output,
+listing dependencies in the given terminfo/termcap source file.
+The report condenses the \*(``use\*('' relation:
+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
+capabilities,
+followed by a newline
.TP
-\fB-U\fR \fIfile\fR
-says to issue a report on reverse dependencies in the given file. This 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
+\fB\-U\fR \fIfile\fR
+says to write a report to the standard output,
+listing reverse dependencies in the given terminfo/termcap source file.
+The report reverses the \*(``use\*('' relation:

+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.
.TP
-\fB-v\fR\fIn\fR
-specifies that (verbose) output be written to standard error trace
-information showing \fBtoe\fR's progress. The optional integer
-\fIn\fR is a number from 1 to 10, interpreted as for \fBtic\fR(1).
-.TP 5
-\fB-V\fR
-reports the version of ncurses which was used in this program, and exits.
+\fB\-v\fR\fIn\fR
+specifies that (verbose) output be written to standard error,
+showing \fB@TOE@\fR's progress.
+.IP
+The optional parameter \fIn\fR is a number from 1 to 10,
+interpreted as for \fB@TIC@\fR(1M).
+If ncurses is built without tracing support, the optional parameter is ignored.
+.TP
+\fB\-V\fR
+reports the version of ncurses which was used in this program,

\fB\*d/?/*\fR
Compiled terminal description database.
+.SH HISTORY
+This utility is not provided by other implementations.
+There is no relevant X/Open or POSIX standard for \fB@TOE@\fP.
+.PP
+The program name refers to a developer's pun:
+.bP
+\fBtic\fP,
+.bP
+\fBtac\fP (now \fBtack\fP),
+.bP
+\fBtoe\fP.
+.PP
+It replaced a \fB\-T\fP option which was briefly supported by
+the ncurses \fBinfocmp\fP utility in 1995.
+.PP
+The \fB\-a\fP and \fB\-s\fP options were added to
+\fB@TOE@\fR several years later (2006 and 2011, respectively).
