What does this command do.
In the man page it is written that captoinfo converts a termcap
description into a terminfo description.
But wat is termcap description and a terminfo description.
Please give an explanation. (1 Reply)
My ncurses program has been displaying "OP" (junk) on pressing F1 (instead of catching it). I have finally discovered that it runs fine (traps F1) when run under screen (program), but not in my login terminal (xterm-color)
I did a check of "Set" and "env" under screen, there is a "TERMCAP"... (0 Replies)

My understanding is that /usr/share/terminfo/x/ is populated from a standard set of files and not by compiling, i.e. tic, termcaps.
I am getting from both regular user and root when issuing:
man tic ------> WARNING: terminal is not fully functional
tset -q --------> xterm: unknown terminal type... (2 Replies)
