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 directo‐
       ries to be scanned; if no such arguments are given, your default terminfo directory is scanned.  If you also specify the  -h  op‐
       tion, 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,  fol‐
              lowed 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  capabili‐
              ties,  followed  by  a colon, followed by the whitespace-separated primary names of all terminals which depend on it, fol‐
              lowed 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(1).  If ncurses is built  without  tracing  sup‐
              port, the optional parameter is ignored.

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