NAME
       tic - Translates terminfo files from source to compiled format

SYNOPSIS
       tic [-v[number]] [-c] [file...]

       The  tic	 command translates terminfo files from the source format into
       the compiled format.

OPTIONS
       Checks the file for errors only.	 Errors in  the	 use=  field  are  not
       detected.  Writes trace information on the progress of the tic command.
       The number parameter is an integer, from 0 to  8,  that	increases  the
       level of verbosity.  If number is omitted, the default is 1.

DESCRIPTION
       If a file is not specified, the tic command reads standard input.

       The  tic	 command  places  the  results	in the /usr/share/lib/terminfo
       directory.  If the TERMINFO environment variable is  set,  the  results
       are placed there instead of in /usr/share/lib/terminfo.

       The tic command compiles all terminfo descriptions in the file or files
       specified by the file variable. When  the  tic  command	finds  a  use=
       field,  it  searches  first  the current file, then reads in the binary
       from /usr/share/lib/terminfo to complete the entry.  If the environment
       variable	 TERMINFO  is  set,  that  directory  is  searched  instead of
       /usr/share/lib/terminfo.

       The size of a compiled entry cannot exceed  4096	 bytes	and  the  name
       field  cannot exceed 128 bytes.	Terminal names exceeding 14 characters
       are truncated to 14 characters and a warning message is printed.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
       The following environment variables affect the behavior of tic:	Causes
       the  command to behave as a System V command if the value of this envi‐
       ronment variable is set to SVR4 or  svr4.  The  options	designated  by
       [SVR4]  are  honored  while identical non-System V options are ignored.
