+.SH DESCRIPTION
+The command \fBtic\fR translates a \fBterminfo\fR file from source
+format into compiled format.  The compiled format is necessary for use with
+the library routines in \fBncurses\fR(3X).
+.PP
+The results are normally placed in the system terminfo
+directory \fB\*d\fR.  There are two ways to change this behavior.
+.PP
+First, you may override the system default by setting the variable
+\fBTERMINFO\fR in your shell environment to a valid (existing) directory name.
+.PP
+Secondly, if \fBtic\fR cannot get access to \fI\*d\fR or your TERMINFO
+directory, it looks for the directory \fI$HOME/.terminfo\fR; if that directory
+exists, the entry is placed there.
+.PP
+Libraries that read terminfo entries are expected to check for a TERMINFO
+directory first, look at \fI$HOME/.terminfo\fR if TERMINFO is not set, and
+finally look in \fI\*d\fR.
+.TP
+\fB-1\fR
+restricts the output to a single column
+.TP
+\fB-a\fR
+tells \fBtic\fP to retain commented-out capabilities rather than discarding
+them.  Capabilities are commented by prefixing them with a period.
+This sets the \fB-x\fR option, because it treats the commented-out
+entries as user-defined names.
+If the source is termcap, accept the 2-character names required by version 6.
+Otherwise these are ignored.
+.TP
+\fB-C\fR
+Force source translation to termcap format.  Note: this differs from the \fB-C\fR
+option of \fB@INFOCMP@\fR(1M) in that it does not merely translate capability
+names, but also translates terminfo strings to termcap format.  Capabilities
+that are not translatable are left in the entry under their terminfo names
+but commented out with two preceding dots.
+.TP
+\fB-c\fR
+tells \fBtic\fP to only check \fIfile\fR for errors, including syntax problems and
+bad use links.  If you specify \fB-C\fR (\fB-I\fR) with this option, the code
+will print warnings about entries which, after use resolution, are more than
+1023 (4096) bytes long.  Due to a fixed buffer length in older termcap
+libraries (and a documented limit in terminfo), these entries may cause core
+dumps.
+.TP
+\fB-e \fR\fInames\fR
+Limit writes and translations to the following comma-separated list of
+terminals.
+If any name or alias of a terminal matches one of the names in
+the list, the entry will be written or translated as normal.
+Otherwise no output will be generated for it.
+The option value is interpreted as a file containing the list if it
+contains a '/'.
+(Note: depending on how tic was compiled, this option may require \fB-I\fR or \fB-C\fR.)
+.TP
+\fB-f\fR
+Display complex terminfo strings which contain if/then/else/endif expressions
+indented for readability.
+.TP
+\fB-G\fR
+Display constant literals in decimal form
+rather than their character equivalents.
+.TP
+\fB-g\fR
+Display constant character literals in quoted form
+rather than their decimal equivalents.
+.TP
+\fB-I\fR
+Force source translation to terminfo format.
+.TP
+\fB-L\fR
+Force source translation to terminfo format
+using the long C variable names listed in <\fBterm.h\fR>
+.TP
+\fB-N\fR
+Disable smart defaults. 
+Normally, when translating from termcap to terminfo, the compiler makes
+a number of assumptions about the defaults of string capabilities
+\fBreset1_string\fR, \fBcarriage_return\fR, \fBcursor_left\fR,
+\fBcursor_down\fR, \fBscroll_forward\fR, \fBtab\fR, \fBnewline\fR,
+\fBkey_backspace\fR, \fBkey_left\fR, and \fBkey_down\fR, then attempts
+to use obsolete termcap capabilities to deduce correct values.  It also
+normally suppresses output of obsolete termcap capabilities such as \fBbs\fR.
+This option forces a more literal translation that also preserves the
+obsolete capabilities.
+.TP
+\fB-o\fR\fIdir\fR
+Write compiled entries to given directory.  Overrides the TERMINFO environment
+variable.
+.TP
+\fB-R\fR\fIsubset\fR
+Restrict output to a given subset.  This option is for use with archaic
+versions of terminfo like those on SVr1, Ultrix, or HP/UX that do not support
+the full set of SVR4/XSI Curses terminfo; and outright broken ports like AIX 3.x
+that have their own extensions incompatible with SVr4/XSI.  Available subsets
+are "SVr1", "Ultrix", "HP", "BSD" and "AIX"; see \fBterminfo\fR(\*n) for details.
+.TP
+\fB-r\fR
+Force entry resolution (so there are no remaining tc capabilities) even
+when doing translation to termcap format.  This may be needed if you are
+preparing a termcap file for a termcap library (such as GNU termcap through
+version 1.3 or BSD termcap through 4.3BSD) that does not handle multiple
+tc capabilities per entry.
+.TP
+\fB-s\fR
+Summarize the compile by showing the directory into which entries
+are written, and the number of entries which are compiled.
+.TP
+\fB-T\fR
+eliminates size-restrictions on the generated text.
+This is mainly useful for testing and analysis, since the compiled
+descriptions are limited (e.g., 1023 for termcap, 4096 for terminfo).
+.TP
+\fB-t\fR
+tells \fBtic\fP to discard commented-out capabilities.
+Normally when translating from terminfo to termcap,
+untranslatable capabilities are commented-out.
+.TP 5
+\fB-U\fR
+tells \fBtic\fP to not post-process the data after parsing the source file.
+Normally, it infers data which is commonly missing in older terminfo data,
+or in termcaps.
+.TP
+\fB-V\fR
+reports the version of ncurses which was used in this program, and exits.
+.TP
+\fB-v\fR\fIn\fR
+specifies that (verbose) output be written to standard error trace
+information showing \fBtic\fR's progress.
+The optional parameter \fIn\fR is a number from 1 to 10, inclusive,
+indicating the desired level of detail of information.
+If \fIn\fR is omitted, the default level is 1.
+If \fIn\fR is specified and greater than 1, the level of
+detail is increased.
+.TP
+\fB-w\fR\fIn\fR
+specifies the width of the output.
+The parameter is optional.
+If it is omitted, it defaults to 60.
+.TP
+\fB-x\fR
+Treat unknown capabilities as user-defined.
+That is, if you supply a capability name which \fBtic\fP does not recognize,
+it will infer its type (boolean, number or string) from the syntax and
+make an extended table entry for that.
+User-defined capability strings
+whose name begins with ``k'' are treated as function keys.
+.TP
+\fIfile\fR
+contains one or more \fBterminfo\fR terminal descriptions in source
+format [see \fBterminfo\fR(\*n)].  Each description in the file
+describes the capabilities of a particular terminal.
+.PP
+The debug flag levels are as follows:
+.TP
+1
+Names of files created and linked
+.TP
+2
+Information related to the ``use'' facility
+.TP
+3
+Statistics from the hashing algorithm
+.TP
+5
+String-table memory allocations
+.TP
+7
+Entries into the string-table
+.TP
+8
+List of tokens encountered by scanner
+.TP
+9
+All values computed in construction of the hash table
+.LP
+If the debug level \fIn\fR is not given, it is taken to be one.
+.PP
+All but one of the capabilities recognized by \fBtic\fR are documented
+in \fBterminfo\fR(\*n).  The exception is the \fBuse\fR capability.
+.PP
+When a \fBuse\fR=\fIentry\fR-\fIname\fR field is discovered in a
+terminal entry currently being compiled, \fBtic\fR reads in the binary
+from \fB\*d\fR to complete the entry.  (Entries created from
+\fIfile\fR will be used first.  If the environment variable
+\fBTERMINFO\fR is set, that directory is searched instead of
+\fB\*d\fR.)  \fBtic\fR duplicates the capabilities in
+\fIentry\fR-\fIname\fR for the current entry, with the exception of
+those capabilities that explicitly are defined in the current entry.
+.PP
+When an entry, e.g., \fBentry_name_1\fR, contains a
+\fBuse=\fR\fIentry\fR_\fIname\fR_\fI2\fR field, any canceled
+capabilities in \fIentry\fR_\fIname\fR_\fI2\fR must also appear in
+\fBentry_name_1\fR before \fBuse=\fR for these capabilities to be
+canceled in \fBentry_name_1\fR.
+.PP
+If the environment variable \fBTERMINFO\fR is set, the compiled
+results are placed there instead of \fB\*d\fR.
+.PP
+Total compiled entries cannot exceed 4096 bytes.  The name field cannot
+exceed 512 bytes.  Terminal names exceeding the maximum alias length
+(32 characters on systems with long filenames, 14 characters otherwise)
+will be truncated to the maximum alias length and a warning message will be printed.
+.SH COMPATIBILITY
+There is some evidence that historic \fBtic\fR implementations treated
+description fields with no whitespace in them as additional aliases or
+short names.  This \fBtic\fR does not do that, but it does warn when
+description fields may be treated that way and check them for dangerous
+characters.
+.SH EXTENSIONS
+Unlike the stock SVr4 \fBtic\fR command, this implementation can actually
+compile termcap sources.  In fact, entries in terminfo and termcap syntax can
+be mixed in a single source file.  See \fBterminfo\fR(\*n) for the list of
+termcap names taken to be equivalent to terminfo names.
+.PP
+The SVr4 manual pages are not clear on the resolution rules for \fBuse\fR
+capabilities.
+This implementation of \fBtic\fR will find \fBuse\fR targets anywhere
+in the source file, or anywhere in the file tree rooted at \fBTERMINFO\fR (if
+\fBTERMINFO\fR is defined), or in the user's \fI$HOME/.terminfo\fR directory
+(if it exists), or (finally) anywhere in the system's file tree of
+compiled entries.
+.PP
+The error messages from this \fBtic\fR have the same format as GNU C
+error messages, and can be parsed by GNU Emacs's compile facility.
