36: .SH NAME
37: \fBcaptoinfo\fR - convert a \fItermcap\fR description into a \fIterminfo\fR description
38: .SH SYNOPSIS
1.4 millert 39: \fBcaptoinfo\fR [\fB-v\fR\fIn\fR \fIwidth\fR] [\fB-V\fR] [\fB-1\fR] [\fB-w\fR \fIwidth\fR] \fIfile\fR . . .
1.1 millert 40: .SH DESCRIPTION
41: \fBcaptoinfo\fR looks in \fIfile\fR for \fBtermcap\fR descriptions. For each
42: one found, an equivalent \fBterminfo\fR description is written to standard
43: output. Termcap \fBtc\fR capabilities are translated directly to terminfo
44: \fBuse\fR capabilities.
45:
46: If no \fIfile\fR is given, then the environment variable \fBTERMCAP\fR is used
47: for the filename or entry. If \fBTERMCAP\fR is a full pathname to a file, only
48: the terminal whose name is specified in the environment variable \fBTERM\fR is
49: extracted from that file. If the environment variable \fBTERMCAP\fR is not
50: set, then the file \fB\*d\fR is read.
51: .TP 5
1.4 millert 52: \fB-v\fR
1.1 millert 53: print out tracing information on standard error as the program runs.
54: .TP 5
55: \fB-V\fR
56: print out the version of the program in use on standard error and exit.
57: .TP 5
58: \fB-1\fR
59: cause the fields to print out one to a line. Otherwise, the fields
60: will be printed several to a line to a maximum width of 60
61: characters.
62: .TP 5
63: \fB-w\fR
64: change the output to \fIwidth\fR characters.

68: Compiled terminal description database.
69: .SH TRANSLATIONS FROM NONSTANDARD CAPABILITIES
70: .PP
71: Some obsolete nonstandard capabilities will automatically be translated
72: into standard (SVr4/XSI Curses) terminfo capabilities by \fBcaptoinfo\fR.
73: Whenever one of these automatic translations is done, the program
74: will issue an notification to stderr, inviting the user to check that
75: it has not mistakenly translated a completely unknown and random
76: capability and/or syntax error.

149: If the single-line capabilities occur in an entry, they will automatically
150: be composed into an \fBacsc\fR string. The double-line capabilities and
151: \fBGG\fR are discarded with a warning message.

170: Additionally, the AIX \fBbox1\fR capability will be automatically translated to
171: an \fBacsc\fR string.

1.4 millert 173: Hewlett-Packard's terminfo library supports two nonstandard terminfo
1.1 millert 174: capabilities \fBmeml\fR (memory lock) and \fBmemu\fR (memory unlock).
175: These will be discarded with a warning message.
176: .SH NOTES
177: This utility is actually a link to \fItic\fR(1), running in \fI-I\fR mode.
1.5 millert 178: You can use other \fItic\fR options such as \fB-f\fR and \fB-x\fR.
1.1 millert 179:
180: The trace option isn't identical to SVr4's. Under SVr4, instead of following
181: the -v with a trace level n, you repeat it n times.
