NAME
     tic - terminfo compiler

USAGE
     tic [ -v ] [n ]file(s)

DESCRIPTION
     Tic translates terminfo files from the source format into
     the compiled format.  The results are placed in the direc-
     tory /usr/lib/terminfo.

     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 in
     /usr/lib/terminfo.

OPTIONS
     -v   (verbose) option causes tic to output trace information
          that shows its progress.  If the integer argument n is
          included, the degree of verbosity is increased.

NOTES
     Total compiled entries cannot exceed 4096 bytes.
     The name field cannot exceed 128 bytes.

FILES
     /usr/lib/terminfo/*/*    compiled terminal capability data-
     base
