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. |
FILES
| /usr/share/terminfo/?/* | Compiled terminal description database. |
