tic
— terminfo
compiler
tic |
[-acSsx ] [-o
file] source
[term1 term2 ...] |
The tic
utility compiles
terminfo(5) source into a
database for use by other programs. The created database path name is the
same as the source but with .cdb appended.
The following options are available:
-a
-c
-o
file-S
-s
-x
When tic
discovers a
use=term capability, the terminal
description for term is merged in. Capabilities do not
overwrite previously discovered ones and capabilities ending with @ are
marked as absent so the terminal does not inherit the capability from
used terminals.
The tic
utility exits 0 on success,
and >0 if an error occurs.
To maintain your private terminfo definitions, if the system supplied ones do not support your terminal:
tic ~/.terminfo
The tic
utility works with terminfo files
that conform to the X/Open Curses Issue 4,
Version 2 (“XCURSES4.2”) standard.
