captoinfo(1M)

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 trnslated 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 TERMCAP is not set, then the file @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 characters.

-w  change the output to width characters.

FILES

@TERMINFO@
    Compiled terminal description database.

NOTES
This utility is actually a link to tic(1M), running in -I mode. 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.
