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 written to standard  out‐
       put, 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 char‐
		   acters.

       -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 standard
		   error and then exit.

       -w width
		   Change the output to width characters.

FILES
       /usr/share/lib/terminfo/?/*

	   compiled terminal description database

       /usr/share/lib/termcap

NOTES
       captoinfo should be used to convert termcap entries to terminfo entries
       because the termcap database may not be supplied in future releases.
