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(M).

          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
          Use of the -p option is not recommended. The functionality
          may change in future versions of .
