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 characters.

       -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/?/*
