tic: Check terminfo file for errors.
$ tic -c ${path-to-terminal-info}
try on your machine
The command "tic -c ${path-to-terminal-info}" is a shell command that is used to compile a terminal definition file into a binary format.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
- "tic" is the name of the command-line utility that is used to compile terminal information.
- "-c" is an option or flag that specifies the compile mode. In this case, it stands for "compile terminal definition".
- "${path-to-terminal-info}" is a placeholder for the actual path to the terminal information file that you want to compile. You need to replace it with the actual path when running the command.
By running this command, the "tic" utility will read the terminal information file specified by "${path-to-terminal-info}" and then compile it into a binary format. This binary format is used by terminal emulators to understand and correctly display characters and control sequences specific to that terminal.
