NAME
tic - terminfo compiler
SYNOPSIS
tic [-v[n]]file ...
DESCRIPTION
tic translates terminfo files from the source format into the
compiled format. The results are placed in the directory
/usr/lib/terminfo.
The -v (verbose) flag option causes tic to output trace information
showing its progress. If the optional integer is appended, the
level of verbosity can be increased.
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 there instead of /usr / lib/terminfo.
Some limitations: total compiled entries cannot exceed 4096
bytes. The name field cannot exceed 128 bytes.
FILES
/usr/bin/tic
/usr/lib/terminfo/*/*
SEE ALSO
curses(3X), terminfo(4).
BUGS
Instead of searching. /terminfo. src, tic should check for
an existing compiled entry.
