NAME
captoinfo - convert a termcap description into a terminfo description
SYNOPSIS
captoinfo [-vn width] [-V] [-1] [-w width] file . . .
DESCRIPTION
captoinfo looks in each given text 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
TERMCAP 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 characters.
-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
GC intersection
G6 upper left
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 is not identical to SVr4's. Under SVr4, instead of following the -v with
a trace level n, you repeat it n times.
