NAME
tic - terminfo compiler
SYNOPSIS
tic [-v [n]] [-c] file
DESCRIPTION
The command tic translates a terminfo file from the source format into the compiled format. The results are placed in the directory /usr/share/lib/terminfo. The compiled format is necessary for use with the library routines in curses(3CURSES).
If the environment variable TERMINFO is set, the compiled results are placed there instead of /usr/share/lib/terminfo.
Total compiled entries cannot exceed 4096 bytes. The name field cannot exceed 128 bytes. Terminal names exceeding 14 characters will be truncated to 14 characters and a warning message will be printed.
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-c
Specifies to check only file for errors. Errors in use= links are not detected.
-v[n]
Specify that (verbose) output be written to standard error trace information showing tic's progress. The optional integer n is a number from 1 to 10, 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.
OPERANDS
file
Contains one or more terminfo terminal descriptions in source format [see terminfo(4)].
Each description in the file describes the capabilities of a particular terminal. When a use=entry-name field is discovered in a terminal entry currently being compiled, tic reads in the binary from /usr/share/lib/terminfo
to complete the entry. (Entries created from file will be used first. If the environment variable TERMINFO is set, that directory is searched instead of /usr/share/lib/terminfo.) tic duplicates the capabilities
in entry-name for the current entry, with the exception of those capabilities that are explicitly defined in the current entry.

ATTRIBUTES
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
When an entry, for example, entry_name_1, contains a use=entry_name_2 field, any canceled capabilities in entry_name_2 must also appear in entry_name_1 before use= for
these capabilities to be canceled in entry_name_1.
