NAME
toe - table of (terminfo) entries
SYNOPSIS
toe [-v[n]] [-ahuUV] 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 direc-
tory 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.
-u file
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 whitespace-separated primary names
of all terminals which occur in those use capabilities, followed
by a newline
-U file
says to issue a report on reverse dependencies in the given
file. This report reverses the ‘use’ relation: each line con-
sists of the primary name of a terminal that occurs in use capa-
bilities, followed by a colon, followed by the whitespace-sepa-
rated primary names of all terminals which depend on it, fol-
lowed 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.
