The tic utility compiles source terminfo descriptions. The
compiled entry is installed under the /usr/lib/terminfo directory
hierarchy. If the TERMINFO environment variable is set, results are
placed in the directory it points to instead. Entries are stored in directories
that match the first character of their name. The entry for the VT-100
terminal, for example, is stored in /usr/lib/terminfo/v/vt100.
When a use= specification is found in the source file,
tic adds the binary of the appropriate capabilities to the compiled
file.
The tic utility can only be used to compile single files. Multiple
files can be compiled by concatenating individual files together.
Compiled entries cannot exceed 4098 bytes. The name field cannot exceed 128
bytes. Terminal names that are longer than 14 characters are truncated to 14
characters, and a warning message is printed.
Syntax
tic.hpbin.sys [-v[n]]-c file
Parameters
- -v[n]
