captoinfo(1) General Commands Manual captoinfo(1) NAME captoinfo - Converts a termcap description into a terminfo description. SYNOPSIS captoinfo [-v...] [-V] [-1] [-w options] file ... FLAGS Prints a field per line. Otherwise, multiple fields are printed on a line up to a maximum width of 60 characters. Outputs tracing informa- tion to standard error during program execution. Specifying more than one -v flag causes more detailed information to be printed. Outputs to standard error, the version of the executing program. Outputs informa- tion according to the specified width (in characters). DESCRIPTION The captoinfo command searches the specified file for termcap descrip- tions. For each description found, an equivalent terminfo description is written to standard output (along with any comments found). A de- scription 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. FILES Compiled terminal description database.
