toe(1M) toe(1M) 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(1M). 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.

FILES /usr/share/misc/terminfo/?/* Compiled terminal description database. HISTORY This utility is not provided by other implementations. There is no relevant X/Open or POSIX standard for toe. The program name refers to a developer's pun: o tic, o tac (now tack), o toe. It replaced a -T option which was briefly supported by the ncurses infocmp utility in 1995. The -a and -s options were added to toe several years later (2006 and 2011, respectively). SEE ALSO captoinfo(1M), infocmp(1M), infotocap(1M), tic(1M), curses(3X), terminfo(5). This describes ncurses version 6.2 (patch 20210220). toe(1M)
