NAME toe - list table of entries of terminfo terminal types
SYNOPSIS toe [-ahs] [-v [n]] [directory ...]
toe [-u|-U] file
toe -V
DESCRIPTION toe reports to the standard output stream the (primary) names and descriptions of the terminal types available to the terminfo library. Each directory is scanned; if none are given, toe scans the default terminfo directory.
OPTIONS The -h option can be helpful to observe where toe is looking for terminal descriptions. Other options support maintainers of terminfo terminal descriptions.
-a lists entries from all terminal database directories that terminfo would search, instead of only the first that it finds.
If -s is also given, toe additionally reports, like conflict(1), which entries correspond to a given terminal database. An "*" marks entries that differ, and "+" marks equivalent entries.
Without the -s option, toe does not attempt to merge duplicates in its report.
-h writes a heading naming each each directory as it is accessed.
-s sorts the output by the entry names.
-u file lists terminal type dependencies in file, a terminfo entry source or termcap database file. The report summarizes the "use" (terminfo) and tc (termcap) relations: each line comprises the primary name of a terminal type employing use/tc capabilities, a colon, a space- and tab-separated list of primary names of terminal types thus named, and a newline.
-U file lists terminal type reverse dependencies in file, a terminfo entry source or termcap database file. The report summarizes the "use" (terminfo) and tc (termcap) reverse relations: each line comprises the primary name of a terminal type occurring in use/tc capabilities, a colon, a space- and tab-separated list of primary names of terminal types naming them thus, and a newline.
-v [n] reports verbose status information to the standard error stream, showing toe's progress.
The optional parameter n is an integer between 1 and 10 inclusive, interpreted as for tic(1M). If ncurses is built
compiled terminal description database
PORTABILITY toe is not provided by other implementations. There is no applicable X/Open or POSIX standard for it.
HISTORY toe replaces a -T option that was briefly supported by the ncurses infocmp utility in 1995.
The -a and -s options were added in 2006 and 2011, respectively.
The program's name originates with a developer's pun:
o tic,
o tac (now tack),
o toe.
EXAMPLES When not sorting with the -s option, the -a option reports all of the names found in all of the terminal database directories named in the TERMINFO and TERMINFO_DIRS environment variables.
