toe(1)                               General Commands Manual                               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 con‐
              flict(1)) which entries which belong to a given terminal database.   An  "*"  marks
              entries which differ, and "+" marks equivalent entries.

       -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 ter‐
              minals 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.
