TIC(C)                               UNIX System V



     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.
