If you had written

then tic should show

        /usr/ports/x11/kitty/work-py36/stage/usr/local/lib/kitty/terminfo.db

given that

        /usr/ports/x11/kitty/work-py36/stage/usr/local/lib/kitty

exists and you can write to that directory.


No, it fails:

$ tic -o /usr/ports/x11/kitty/work-py36/stage/usr/local/lib/kitty/terminfo/ ./work-py36/kitty-0.11.3-111-g9bd9cf80/terminfo/kitty.terminfo -D
tic: Too many file names.  Usage:
    tic [-e names] [-o dir] [-R name] [-v[n]] [-V] [-w[n]] [-1aCDcfGgIKLNrsTtUx] source-file


And this also fails:

$ tic -D -o /usr/ports/x11/kitty/work-py36/stage/usr/local/lib/kitty/terminfo/ ./work-py36/kitty-0.11.3-111-g9bd9cf80/terminfo/kitty.terminfo
tic: /usr/local/share/misc/terminfo (no permission)

- it ignores -o xx, and still tries to write into the system directory.
