.Sh NAME
.Nm infocmp
.Nd compare or print compiled terminfo descriptions
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm infocmp
.Op Fl 1acnqux
.Op Fl A Ar database
.Op Fl B Ar database
.Op Fl w Ar cols
.Op Ar term ...
.Sh DESCRIPTION
The
.Nm
reconstructs the first available
.Xr terminfo 5
definition found for
.Ar term
and prints the result in a
.Xr terminfo 5
format.
Capability types are grouped together and new types start new lines,
first flags, then numbers, then strings.
Capabilities are sorted by their name.
If a second
.Ar term
is given then the capabilities are compared against each other.
.Pp
The following options are available:
.Bl -tag -width Ev
.It Fl 1
Print one capability per line.
.It Fl A Ar database
Use this database to load the first terminal definition.
.It Fl B Ar database
Use this database to load subsequent terminal definitions.
.It Fl a
Include commented out capabilities.
This only works if the database was compiled with the
.Fl a
flag passed to
.Xr tic 1 .
This also sets the
.Fl x
flag as
.Nm
retains commented out capabilities as non standard.
.It Fl c
Print capabilities common to each definition.
.It Fl n
Print capabilities that do not exist in either definition.
.It Fl q
Make the comparison listing shorter by omitting subheadings and using
- for absent capabilities, @ for canceled capabilities rather than
.Dv NULL .
.It Fl u
Build a new terminal description for the first terminal description,
using subsequent terminal descriptions.
This also sets the
.Fl a
flag.
.It Fl w Ar cols
Limit the width to
.Ar cols .
.It Fl x
Include non-standard capabilities.
More
.Fl x
only handles non-standard capabilities.
This only works if the database was compiled with the
.Fl x
flag passed to
.Xr tic 1 .
.El
.Sh ENVIRONMENT
.Bl -tag -width Ev
.It Ev COLUMNS
Override columns returned by the output terminal.
.Fl w
.Ar cols
supersedes this.
.It Ev TERM
.Nm
uses the contents of the
.Ev TERM
environment variable if no terminal name is given on the command line.
.El
.Sh EXIT STATUS
.Ex -std infocmp
.Sh SEE ALSO
.Xr tic 1 ,
.Xr terminfo 5
.Sh STANDARDS
The
.Nm
utility outputs information that conforms to the
.St -xcurses4.2
standard.
