.SH NAME
\fBtoe\fR \- table of (terminfo) entries
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBtoe\fR [\fB\-v\fR[\fIn\fR]] [\fB\-ahsuUV\fR] \fIfile...\fR
.br
.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
With no options,
\fBtoe\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, \fBtoe\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, \fBtoe\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 \fBtoe\fR's progress.
.IP
The optional parameter \fIn\fR is a number from 1 to 10,
interpreted as for \fBtic\fR(1).
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 FILES
.TP 5
\fB\*d/?/*\fR
Compiled terminal description database.
