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 characters.

       -v	       Display	tracing	 information  on the standard error as
		       the program runs. Specifying additional -v options dis‐
		       plays 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.

FILES
       /usr/share/lib/terminfo/?/*     compiled terminal description database

       /usr/share/lib/termcap
