captoinfo(1M)

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 writ-
     ten to standard output, 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 stan-
           dard error and then exit.

     -w width
           Change the output to width characters.

     plied in future releases.
