  34. .Nm tic
  35. .Nd terminfo compiler
  36. .Sh SYNOPSIS
  37. .Nm tic
  38. .Op Fl acSsx
  39. .Op Fl o Ar file
  40. .Ar source
  41. .Op Ar term1 term2 ...
  42. .Sh DESCRIPTION
  43. The
  44. .Nm
  45. utility compiles
  46. .Xr terminfo 5
  47. source into a database for use by other programs.
  48. The created database path name is the same as the source but with .cdb appended.
  49. .Pp
  50. The following options are available:
  51. .Bl -tag -width Fl
  52. .It Fl a
  53. Do not discard commented out capabilities.
  54. .It Fl c
  55. Only check for errors, don't write the final database.
  56. .It Fl o Ar file
  57. Write the database to
  58. .Ar file
  59. instead of
  60. .Ar source Ns .cdb .
  61. .It Fl S
  62. For
  63. .Ar term1 , term2 , ...
  64. output a C structure containing name, compiled description, and compiled size.
  65. This can be used to embed terminal descriptions into a program.
  66. .It Fl s
  67. Display the number of terminal descriptions written to the database.
  68. .It Fl x
  69. Include non standard capabilities defined in the
  70. .Ar source .
  71. .El
  72. .Ss Extensions To Terminfo
  73. When
  74. .Nm
  75. discovers a
  76. .Sy use Ns = Ns Va term
  77. capability, the terminal description for
  78. .Va term
  79. is merged in.
  80. Capabilities do not overwrite previously discovered ones and capabilities
  81. ending with @ are marked as absent so the terminal does not inherit the
  82. capability from
  83. .Sy use Ns d
  84. terminals.
  85. .Sh EXIT STATUS
  86. .Ex -std tic
  87. .Sh EXAMPLES
  88. To maintain your private terminfo definitions, if the system supplied
  89. ones do not support your terminal:
  90. .Bd -literal -offset indent
  91. .Ic tic ~/.terminfo
  92. .Ed

  94. .Xr infocmp 1 ,
  95. .Xr tput 1 ,
  96. .Xr curses 3 ,
  97. .Xr terminfo 5
  98. .Sh STANDARDS
  99. The
  100. .Nm
  101. utility works with terminfo files that conform to the
  102. .St -xcurses4.2
  103. standard.
