NAME

6       captoinfo - convert a termcap description into a terminfo description
7

SYNOPSIS

9       captoinfo [-1] [-v]... [-V] [-w width] filename...
10
11

DESCRIPTION

13       captoinfo  looks  in  filename  for  termcap descriptions. For each one
14       found, an equivalent  terminfo description is written to standard  out‐
15       put, along with any comments found. A description which is expressed as
16       relative to another description (as  specified  in  the  termcap  tc  =
17       field) is reduced to the minimum superset before being displayed.
18
19
20       If  no   filename  is  given, then the environment variable TERMCAP  is
21       used for the filename or entry. If TERMCAP  is a  full  pathname  to  a
22       file,   only  the  terminal  whose name is specified in the environment
23       variable TERM is extracted from that file. If the environment  variable
24       TERMCAP  is not set, then the file /usr/share/lib/termcap is read.
