captoinfo(1M)
captoinfo --
convert a termcap description into a terminfo description
Synopsis
captoinfo [-v . . . ]
[-V] [-1] [-w width]
file . . .
Description
captoinfo
looks in
file
for termcap descriptions.
For each one found, an equivalent
terminfo(4)
description is written 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)
will be reduced to the minimum superset before being output.
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
TERMCAP
is not set,
then the file /usr/share/lib/termcap is read.
-v-
print out tracing information on standard error as the program runs.
Specifying additional -v options will
cause more detailed information to be printed.
-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 characters.
-w-
change the output to width characters.
Files
/usr/share/lib/terminfo/?/-
compiled terminal description database

described on
oldterminfo(4).

Notices
captoinfo should be used to convert termcap
entries to terminfo entries because the
termcap database (from earlier versions of UNIX System V)
may not be supplied in future releases.
