How does one list the names of terminals in the file
/usr/share/misc/terminfo.db?

Thanks,

Did not find a way to list the content of this file,
but you could look into the source code of that file.

/usr/src/share/termtypes/termtypes.master

There are some other interesting files in the same directory.

I was hoping not to have to do what you suggest, but I guess
I will have to. There is a program in ncurses 5.6 - toe -
that lists all the terminal types in the database, but
that program does not work with terminfo.db (so far, at least).

I notice that Oracle is now the home of sleepycat.com.
I don't see how to build the db software there.
I suspect the days of Berkeley DB are numbered now.
