.SH NAME
\fB@TOE@\fR \- table of (terminfo) entries
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fB@TOE@\fR [\fB\-v\fR[\fIn\fR]] [\fB\-ahsuUV\fR] \fIfile...\fR
.br
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
With no options,
\fB@TOE@\fR 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 \fB\-h\fR option,
a directory header will be issued as each
directory is entered.
.PP
There are other options intended for use by terminfo file maintainers:
.TP
\fB\-a\fR
report on all of the terminal databases which ncurses would search,
rather than only the first one that it finds.
.IP
If the \fB\-s\fR is also given, \fB@TOE@\fR
adds a column to the report,
showing (like \fBconflict\fP(1)) which entries which
belong to a given terminal database.
An "*" marks entries which differ, and "+" marks equivalent entries.
.IP
Without the \fB\-s\fP option, \fB@TOE@\fR does not attempt to merge
duplicates in its report
.TP
\fB\-s\fR
sort the output by the entry names.
.TP
\fB\-u\fR \fIfile\fR
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
.TP
\fB\-U\fR \fIfile\fR
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.
.TP
\fB\-v\fR\fIn\fR
specifies that (verbose) output be written to standard error,
showing \fB@TOE@\fR's progress.
.IP
The optional parameter \fIn\fR is a number from 1 to 10,
interpreted as for \fB@TIC@\fR(1M).
If ncurses is built without tracing support, the optional parameter is ignored.
.TP
\fB\-V\fR
reports the version of ncurses which was used in this program,
and exits.
.SH EXAMPLES
.PP
Without sorting, the \fB\-a\fP option reports all of the names found
in all of the terminal databases found by the \fBTERMINFO\fP and
\fBTERMINFO_DIRS\fP environment variables:
.NS
MtxOrb162 16x2 Matrix Orbital LCD display
MtxOrb204 20x4 Matrix Orbital LCD display
MtxOrb Generic Matrix Orbital LCD display
qvt101+ qume qvt 101 PLUS product
qvt119+-25 QVT 119 PLUS with 25 data lines
qansi-g QNX ANSI
qvt103 qume qvt 103
qnxw QNX4 windows
qansi-w QNX ansi for windows
qnxm QNX4 with mouse events
qvt203-25-w QVT 203 PLUS with 25 by 132 columns
qansi-t QNX ansi without console writes
\&.\ .\ .

.PP
Use the \fB\-a\fP and \fB\-s\fP options together to show where each terminal
description was found:

\fB\*d/?/*\fR
Compiled terminal description database.
.SH HISTORY
This utility is not provided by other implementations.
There is no relevant X/Open or POSIX standard for \fB@TOE@\fP.
.PP
The program name refers to a developer's pun:
.bP
\fBtic\fP,
.bP
\fBtac\fP (now \fBtack\fP),
.bP
\fBtoe\fP.
.PP
It replaced a \fB\-T\fP option which was briefly supported by
the ncurses \fBinfocmp\fP utility in 1995.
.PP
The \fB\-a\fP and \fB\-s\fP options were added to
\fB@TOE@\fR several years later (2006 and 2011, respectively).
