DESCRIPTION The tic command translates/compiles terminfo files from the source format into the compiled format. tic places the results in the directory /usr/lib/terminfo. If the environment variable TERMINFO is set, the results are placed there instead of in /usr/lib/terminfo. The tic command compiles all terminfo descriptions in files. When tic finds a use= field, it searches first the current file, then the master file, ./terminfo.src. The total compiled entries cannot exceed 4096 bytes and the name field cannot exceed 128 bytes. FLAG -vnum Writes trace information on the progress of tic. num is an integer that increases the level of the verbosity. FILES /usr/lib/terminfo/?/* Compiled terminal capability data base.
