Gurus,
I've been on computers for a while, but I've yet to have the behind-the-scenes knowledge. I'm not sure if this is so much a Unix question as it is a nitty gritty computer one.

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:
Cap Graphic
-----------------------------
G2 upper left
G3 lower left
G1 upper right
G4 lower right
GR pointing right
GL pointing left
GU pointing up
GD pointing down
GH horizontal line
GV vertical line

G7 lower left
G5 upper right
G8 lower right
Gr tee pointing right
Gr tee pointing left
Gu tee pointing up
Gd tee pointing down
Gh horizontal line
Gv vertical line
Gc intersection
GG acs magic cookie count
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:
IBM XSI
-------------
ksel kslt
kbtab kcbt
font0 s0ds
font1 s1ds
font2 s2ds
font3 s3ds
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(1M), running in -I mode. You can use other tic options such as -f and -x.
The trace option isn't identical to SVr4's. Under SVr4, instead of following the -v with a trace level n, you repeat it n times.
