captoinfo(1)						      General Commands Manual						      captoinfo(1)

NAME

       captoinfo - convert a termcap description into a terminfo description

SYNOPSIS

       captoinfo [-vn width]  [-V] [-1] [-w width] file . . .

DESCRIPTION

       captoinfo  looks  in  file for termcap descriptions.  For each one found, an equivalent terminfo description is written to standard output.
       Termcap tc capabilities are translated directly to terminfo use capabilities.

       If no file is given, then the environment variable TERMCAP is used for the filename or entry.  If TERMCAP is a full  pathname  to  a  file,
       only  the terminal whose name is specified in the environment variable TERM is extracted from that file.  If the environment variable TERM-
       CAP is not set, then the file /usr/share/terminfo is read.

       -v   print out tracing information on standard error as the program runs.

       -V   print out the version of the program in use on standard error and exit.

       -1   cause the fields to print out one to a line.  Otherwise, the fields will be printed several to a line to a maximum width of 60 charac-
	    ters.

       -w   change the output to width characters.

FILES

       /usr/share/terminfo Compiled terminal description database.

TRANSLATIONS FROM NONSTANDARD CAPABILITIES

       Some obsolete nonstandard capabilities will automatically be translated into standard (SVr4/XSI Curses) terminfo capabilities by captoinfo.
       Whenever one of these automatic translations is done, the program will issue an notification to stderr, inviting the user to check that	it
       has not mistakenly translated a completely unknown and random capability and/or syntax error.

       XENIX  termcap  also  used  to  have  a set of extension capabilities for forms drawing, designed to take advantage of the IBM PC high-half
       graphics.  They were as follows:

       If the single-line capabilities occur in an entry, they will automatically be composed into an acsc string.  The  double-line  capabilities
       and GG are discarded with a warning message.

       IBM's  AIX  has	a  terminfo  facility descended from SVr1 terminfo but incompatible with the SVr4 format. The following AIX extensions are
       automatically translated:

       Additionally, the AIX box1 capability will be automatically translated to an acsc string.

       Hewlett-Packard's terminfo library supports two nonstandard terminfo capabilities meml (memory lock) and memu (memory unlock).  These  will
       be discarded with a warning message.

NOTES

       This utility is actually a link to tic(1), running in -I mode.  You can use other tic options such as -f and  -x.

       The trace option is not identical to SVr4's.  Under SVr4, instead of following the -v with a trace level n, you repeat it n times.
