TIC(1)			  BSD General Commands Manual			TIC(1)

NAME
     tic — terminfo compiler

SYNOPSIS
     tic [-acSsx] [-o file] source [term1 term2 ...]

DESCRIPTION
     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		 Do not discard commented out capabilities.

     -c		 Only check for errors, don't write the final database.

     -o file	 Write the database to file instead of source.cdb.

     -S		 For term1, term2, ... output a C structure containing name,
		 compiled description, and compiled size.  This can be used to
		 embed terminal descriptions into a program.

     -s		 Display the number of terminal descriptions written to the
		 database.

     -x		 Include non standard capabilities defined in the source.

   Extensions To Terminfo
     When tic discovers a use=term capability, the terminal description for
     term is merged in.	 Capabilities do not overwrite previously disovered
     ones and capabilities ending with @ are marked as absent so the terminal
     does not inherit the capability from used terminals.

EXIT STATUS
     The tic utility exits 0 on success, and >0 if an error occurs.

EXAMPLES
     To maintain your private terminfo definitions, if the system supplied
     ones do not support your terminal:

	   tic ~/.terminfo

SEE ALSO
     infocmp(1), tput(1), curses(3), terminfo(5)

STANDARDS
     The tic utility works with terminfo files that conform to the X/Open
     Curses Issue 4, Version 2 (“XCURSES4.2”) standard.
