NAME
tic - terminfo compiler
SYNOPSIS
tic [-v [n]] [-c
] file ...
DESCRIPTION
tic translates terminfo files from source format into the compiled format. Results are placed in the
directory /usr/share/lib/terminfo
.
-vn Specifies that (verbose) output be written to standard error trace information showing tic’s pro-
gress. The optional integer n is a number from 1 to 10, inclusive, indicating the desired level of
detail of information. If n is omitted, the default level is 1. If
n is specified and greater than 1,
the level of detail is increased.
-c Specifies to check only file for errors. Errors in
use=links are not detected.
tic compiles all terminfo descriptions in the given files. When a
use= field is discovered, tic searches
first the current file, then the master file which is
./terminfo.src
.
If the environment variable
TERMINFO is set, the results are placed in the location specified by
TER-
MINFO instead of in /usr/share/lib/terminfo
.
Limitations: total compiled entries cannot exceed 4096 bytes. The name field cannot exceed 128 bytes.
FILES
/usr/share/lib/terminfo/?/*
compiled terminal capability data base
SEE ALSO

BUGS
Instead of searching
./terminfo.src
, tic should check for an existing compiled entry.
