DESCRIPTION

       translates terminfo files from source format into the compiled format.  Results are placed in the directory

       Specifies that (verbose) output be written to standard
		 error	trace information showing tic's progress. The optional integer is a number from 1 to 10, inclusive, indicating the desired
		 level of detail of information.  If is omitted, the default level is 1. If is specified and greater than 1, the level	of  detail
		 is increased.

       Specifies to check only file for errors. Errors in

NAME

       tic - Translates terminfo files from source to compiled format

SYNOPSIS

       tic [-v[number]] [-c] [file...]

       The tic command translates terminfo files from the source format into the compiled format.

OPTIONS

       Checks  the file for errors only.  Errors in the use= field are not detected.  Writes trace information on the progress of the tic command.
       The number parameter is an integer, from 0 to 8, that increases the level of verbosity.	If number is omitted, the default is 1.

DESCRIPTION

       If a file is not specified, the tic command reads standard input.

       The tic command places the results in the /usr/share/lib/terminfo directory.  If the TERMINFO environment variable is set, the results  are
       placed there instead of in /usr/share/lib/terminfo.

       The  tic  command compiles all terminfo descriptions in the file or files specified by the file variable. When the tic command finds a use=
       field, it searches first the current file, then reads in the binary from /usr/share/lib/terminfo to complete the entry.	If the environment
       variable TERMINFO is set, that directory is searched instead of /usr/share/lib/terminfo.

       The  size  of a compiled entry cannot exceed 4096 bytes and the name field cannot exceed 128 bytes.  Terminal names exceeding 14 characters
       are truncated to 14 characters and a warning message is printed.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       The following environment variables affect the behavior of tic: Causes the command to behave as a System V command if  the  value  of  this
       environment  variable  is  set  to  SVR4  or  svr4.  The options designated by [SVR4]  are honored while identical non-System V options are
       ignored. Command output and error messages  also follow System V conventions.

FILES

       Terminal information database.
