toe(1)

NAME

   toe - table of (terminfo) entries

SYNOPSIS

   toe [-v[n]] [-ahsuUV] file...

DESCRIPTION

   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:

   -a     report  on  all  of  the  terminal databases which ncurses would
          search, rather than only the first one that it finds.

          If the -s is also given,  toe  adds  a  column  to  the  report,
          showing (like conflict(1)) which entries which belong to a given
          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.

   -u file
          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

   -U file
          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: 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.

   -vn    specifies that (verbose) output be written  to  standard  error,
          showing  toe's  progress.   The optional parameter n is a number
          from 1 to 10, interpreted as for tic(1).

   -V     reports the version of ncurses which was used in  this  program,
          and exits.
