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.
