-0 | format translation output all capabilities on one line | help + man |
-1 | format translation output one capability per line | help + man |
-a | tells tic to retain commented-out capabilities rather than discarding them. | help + man |
-C | Force source translation to termcap format. | help + man |
-D | tells tic to print the database locations that it knows about, and exit. | help + man |
-c | tells tic to perform only validation of file, including syntax problems and invalid “use” references; | help + man |
-e names | Limit writes and translations to the comma-separated list of terminal types. | help + man |
-f | Display complex terminfo strings which contain if/then/else/endif expressions indented for readability. | help + man |
-G | Display constant literals in decimal form rather than their character equivalents. | help + man |
-g | Display constant character literals in quoted form rather than their decimal equivalents. | help + man |
-I | Force source translation to terminfo format. | help + man |
-K | Suppress some longstanding ncurses extensions to termcap format, e.g., "s" for space. | help + man |
-L | Force source translation to terminfo format using the long C variable names listed in <term.h> | help + man |
-N | disable smart defaults for source translation | help + man |
-o dir | set output directory for compiled entry writes | help |
-Q n | dump compiled description | help |
-q | Suppress comments and blank lines when showing translated source. | help + man |
-R name | restrict translation to given terminfo/termcap version | help |
-r | Force entry resolution (so there are no remaining tc capabilities) even when doing translation to termcap format. | help + man |
-s | Summarize the compile by showing the database location into which entries are written, and the number of entries which are compiled. | help + man |
-T | eliminates size-restrictions on the generated text. | help + man |
-t | tells tic to discard commented-out capabilities. | help + man |
-U | tells tic to not post-process the data after parsing the source file. | help + man |
-V | reports the version of ncurses which was used in this program, and exits. | help + man |
-W | By itself, the -w option will not force long strings to be wrapped. | help + man |
-v n | set verbosity level | help |
-w n | set format width for translation output | help |
-x | Treat unknown capabilities as user-defined (see user_caps(5)). | help + man |
-odir | Write compiled entries to given database location. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-Qn | Rather than show source in terminfo (text) format, print the compiled (binary) format in hexadecimal or base64 form, depending on the option's value: (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-Rsubset | Restrict output to a given subset. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-vn | specifies that (verbose) output be written to standard error trace information showing tic's progress. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
-wn | specifies the width of the output. (in the manual page but not in --help) | man |
