toe(1M)                                                                                              toe(1M)



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  ter-minfo terminfo
       minfo  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 ter-minfo/termcap terminfo/termcap
              minfo/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 ter-minfo/termcap terminfo/termcap
              minfo/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 new-line. newline.
              line.

       -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).

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