NAME

       captoinfo - Converts a termcap description into a terminfo description.

SYNOPSIS

       captoinfo [-v ...] [-V] [-1] [-w options] file...

OPTIONS

       Prints  a field per line.  Otherwise, multiple fields are printed on a line up to a maximum width of 60 characters.  Outputs tracing infor-
       mation to standard error during program execution.  Specifying more than one -v option causes more  detailed  information  to  be  printed.
       Outputs to standard error, the version of the executing program.  Outputs information according to the specified width (in characters).

DESCRIPTION

       The captoinfo command searches the specified file for termcap descriptions.  For each description found, an equivalent terminfo description
       is written to standard output (along with any comments found).  A description that is expressed as relative to another description (such as
       termcap tc = field) is reduced to the minimum superset before being output.

       If  a  file is not specified, the environment variable TERMCAP is used for the filename or entry.  If TERMCAP is a full pathname to a file,
       only the name of the terminal specified by the environment variable TERM is extracted.  If the environment variable  TERMCAP  is  not  set,
       then the file /usr/share/lib/termcap is read.

FILES

       Compiled terminal description database.

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
