NAME
      captoinfo - convert a termcap description  into  a  terminfo
      description
 


SYNOPSIS
      captoinfo [ -1 ]  [ -v ... ]  [ -V ]  [ -w width ]  filename
      ...
 


DESCRIPTION
      captoinfo looks in filename for  termcap  descriptions.  For
      each one found, an equivalent  terminfo description is writ-
      ten 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)  is
      reduced to the minimum superset before being displayed.
 
      If no  filename 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.
 


OPTIONS
      -1    Display the fields  one  to  a  line.  Otherwise,  the
            fields  are  printed several to a line, with a maximum
            width of 60 characters.
 
      -v    Display tracing information on the standard  error  as
            the  program  runs.  Specifying  additional -v options
            displays more detailed information.
 
      -V    Display the version of the program in use on the stan-
            dard error and then exit.
 
      -w width
            Change the output to width characters.

NOTES

      minfo  entries  because the termcap database may not be sup-
      plied in future releases.
