NAME    [Toc]    [Back]

       captoinfo - Converts a termcap description into a terminfo
       description.

SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]

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

OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]

       Prints a field per line.  Otherwise, multiple  fields  are
       printed  on a line up to a maximum width of 60 characters.
       Outputs tracing information 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    [Toc]    [Back]

       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.
