- With no options, toe 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 -h option, a directory header will be
- issued as each directory is entered.
-
- There are other options intended for use by terminfo file
- maintainers:
-
- -ufile
- 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 termi-
- nal that has use capabilities, followed by a colon,
- followed by the whitespace-separated primary names
- of all terminals which occur in those use capabili-
- ties, followed by a newline
-
- -Ufile
- 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, fol-
- lowed by a colon, followed by the whitespace-sepa-
- rated primary names of all terminals which depend
- on it, followed by a newline.
-
- -vn specifies that (verbose) output be written to stan-
- dard error trace information showing toe's
- progress. The optional integer n is a number from
- 1 to 10, interpreted as for tic(1).
-
- -V prints out the version of the program in use on stan-
- dard error and exits.

+
+ If the -s is also given, toe adds a column to the report, show-

+ terminal database. An "*" marks entries which differ, and "+"
+ marks equivalent entries.
+
+ Without the -s option, toe does not attempt to merge duplicates
+ in its report
+
+ -s sort the output by the entry names.

+ -ufile
+ says to write a report to the standard output, listing dependen-
+ cies in the given terminfo/termcap source file. The report con-
+ denses the "use" relation: each line consists of the primary

+ the optional parameter is ignored.
+
+ -V reports the version of ncurses which was used in this program,
