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 terminfo 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:
-ufile
says to issue a report on dependencies in the given file. This 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
-Ufile
says to issue a report on reverse dependencies in the given file. This 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.
-vn
specifies that (verbose) output be written to standard error trace
information showing toe's progress. The optional integer
n is a number from 1 to 10, interpreted as for tic(1).
-V
reports the version of ncurses which was used in this program, and exits.
