System Administration Commands tic(1M)
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 stan-
dard error trace information showing tic's pro-
gress. 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 ter-
minal. 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 direc-
tory is searched instead of /usr/share/lib/terminfo.)
tic duplicates the capabilities in entry-name for the

that are explicitly defined in the current entry.

NOTES
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.
