NAME
       captoinfo - Converts a termcap description into a terminfo description.

SYNOPSIS
       captoinfo [-v ...] [-V] [-1] [-w options] file...

OPTIONS
       Prints  a  field per line.  Otherwise, multiple fields are printed on a
       line up to a maximum width of 60 characters.  Outputs tracing  informa‐
       tion  to standard error during program execution.  Specifying more than
       one -v option causes more detailed information to be printed.   Outputs
       to  standard  error,  the  version  of  the executing program.  Outputs
       information according to the specified width (in characters).

DESCRIPTION
       The captoinfo command searches the specified file for termcap  descrip‐
       tions.	For each description found, an equivalent terminfo description
       is written to standard output  (along  with  any	 comments  found).   A
       description  that is expressed as relative to another description (such
       as termcap tc = field) is reduced to the minimum superset before	 being
       output.

       If  a  file  is not specified, the environment variable TERMCAP is used
       for the filename or entry.  If TERMCAP is a full pathname  to  a	 file,
       only  the  name	of  the terminal specified by the environment variable
       TERM is extracted.  If the environment variable	TERMCAP	 is  not  set,
       then the file /usr/share/lib/termcap is read.

FILES
       Compiled terminal description database.
