- NAME
- tic - Compile the terminfo database
-
- SYNOPSIS
- /usr/lib/terminfo/tic [-v[n]] source-file
-
- DESCRIPTION
- Tic is the program which translates the source files in
- the terminfo terminal capability database into their
- object format. The given file is expected to contain one
- or more terminfo entries, as described in terminfo(5).
- This file is expected to be self-contained, i.e., it may
- not contain ``use'' entries which refer to terminals not
- described fully in the same file.
-
- The object files are normally placed in subdirectories of
- the directory /usr/lib/terminfo (see term(5)), but if the
- environment variable TERMINFO is defined, it is taken to
- be the name of an alternate directory to use.
-
- Debugging and tracing information may be obtained by use
- of the -v flag. The number after the flag controls the
- amount of debugging information given, according to the
- following table:
-
- 1 Names of files created and linked
-
- 2 Information related to the ``use'' facility
-
- 3 Statistics from the hashing algorithm
-
- 5 String-table memory allocations
-
- 7 Entries into the string-table
-
- 8 List of tokens encountered by scanner
-
- 9 All values computed in construction of the hash
- table
-
- If n is not given, it is taken to be one.
-
- FILES
- /usr/lib/terminfo/* Default location of object files
-
- SEE ALSO
- terminfo(5), term(5), untic(1).
