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).
If ncurses is built without tracing support, the optional parameter is ignored.
- -V
-
reports the version of ncurses which was used in this program,
and exits.
FILES
- /etc/terminfo/?/*
-
Compiled terminal description database.
