toe(1m)                                                                toe(1m)
       toe - table of (terminfo) entries
       toe [-v[n]] [-ahsuUV] file...
       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:
       -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, followed
              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 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,
              showing toe's progress.
              The  optional  parameter n is a number from 1 to 10, interpreted
              as for tic(1m).  If ncurses is built  without  tracing  support,
              the optional parameter is ignored.
       -V     reports  the  version of ncurses which was used in this program,
              and exits.
       Without sorting, the -a option reports all of the names found in all of
       the   terminal  databases  found  by  the  TERMINFO  and  TERMINFO_DIRS
       environment variables:

       This  utility  is  not  provided by other implementations.  There is no
       relevant X/Open or POSIX standard for toe.
       The program name refers to a developer's pun:
       o   tic,
       o   tac (now tack),
       o   toe.
       It replaced a -T option which was  briefly  supported  by  the  ncurses
       infocmp utility in 1995.
       The  -a  and -s options were added to toe several years later (2006 and
       2011, respectively).
