TIC(C) XENIX System V TIC(C)
Name
tic - Terminfo compiler.
Syntax
tic [-v [n] [-p permlist] ] 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) option causes tic to output trace
information showing its progress. If the optional digit n
is appended, the level of verbosity can be increased.
The -p option directs tic to create a permissions file
permlist for use with fixperm(ADM).
tic compiles all terminfo descriptions in the given files.
When a use= field is discovered, tic first searches the
current file and then the master file ./terminfo.src.
If the environment variable TERMINFO is set, the results are
placed there instead of /usr/lib/terminfo.
Some limitations: the total size of a description cannot
exceed 4096 bytes; the name field cannot exceed 128 bytes.
Files
/usr/lib/terminfo/*/* -Compiled terminal capability
database.

Notes

may change in future versions of .
