captoinfo(1M) System Administration Commands captoinfo(1M)NAMEcaptoinfo - convert a termcap description into a terminfo description
SYNOPSIScaptoinfo [-1] [-v]... [-V] [-w width] filename...
DESCRIPTIONcaptoinfo 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.
