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
       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.

       -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).

       -V     reports the version of ncurses which was used in  this  program,
              and exits.
