NAME

       tget - get termcap values

SYNOPSIS

       tget [-flag id] [-num id] [-str id] [-goto col line] [[-echo] string]

DESCRIPTION

       Tget  allows  shell  scripts access to the termcap(3) functions.  Flags, numbers and strings can be queried from the termcap database under
       the entry denoted by the environment variable $TERM.

OPTIONS

       -flag id
	      Set the exit status to zero if the flag id is set.  All other options except -echo set the exit status to id being available or not.
	      The last option sets the final exit code.

       -num id
	      Print the value of the numeric variable id.

       -str id
	      Print the value of the string variable id.

       -goto col line
	      Generates instructions to go to the given column and line if the cm capability exists.

       -echo string
	      Prints string.  Any other argument that does not start with a dash is also printed.

EXAMPLE

       Try this: tget -str so 'Reverse Video' -str se

ENVIRONMENT

       TERM	      Terminal type.

       TERMCAP	      Path to the termcap database, by default /etc/termcap:/usr/etc/termcap.

NAME

       captoinfo - convert a termcap description into a terminfo description

SYNOPSIS

       captoinfo [-1] [-v...] [-V] [-w width] filename...

DESCRIPTION

       captoinfo  looks in filename for  termcap descriptions. For each one found, an equivalent  terminfo description is written to standard out-
       put, along with any comments found. A description which is expressed as relative to another description (as specified in the termcap  tc  =
       field) is reduced to the minimum superset before being displayed.

       If no  filename 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 TERMCAP
       is not set, then the file /usr/share/lib/termcap is read.

OPTIONS

       -1	       Display	the  fields one to a line. Otherwise, the fields are printed several to a line, with a maximum width of 60 charac-
		       ters.

       -v	       Display tracing information on the standard error as the program runs.  Specifying  additional  -v  options  displays  more
		       detailed information.

       -V	       Display the version of the program in use on the standard error and then exit.

       -w width        Change the output to width characters.

FILES

       /usr/share/lib/terminfo/?/*     compiled terminal description database
