1.1 millert 34: .SH NAME
35: \fBcaptoinfo\fR - convert a \fItermcap\fR description into a \fIterminfo\fR description
36: .SH SYNOPSIS
1.4 millert 37: \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 38: .SH DESCRIPTION
39: \fBcaptoinfo\fR looks in \fIfile\fR for \fBtermcap\fR descriptions. For each
40: one found, an equivalent \fBterminfo\fR description is written to standard
41: output. Termcap \fBtc\fR capabilities are translated directly to terminfo
42: \fBuse\fR capabilities.
1.8 ! nicm 43: .PP
1.1 millert 44: If no \fIfile\fR is given, then the environment variable \fBTERMCAP\fR is used
45: for the filename or entry. If \fBTERMCAP\fR is a full pathname to a file, only
46: the terminal whose name is specified in the environment variable \fBTERM\fR is
47: extracted from that file. If the environment variable \fBTERMCAP\fR is not
48: set, then the file \fB\*d\fR is read.
49: .TP 5
1.4 millert 50: \fB-v\fR
1.1 millert 51: print out tracing information on standard error as the program runs.
52: .TP 5
53: \fB-V\fR
54: print out the version of the program in use on standard error and exit.
55: .TP 5
56: \fB-1\fR
57: cause the fields to print out one to a line. Otherwise, the fields
58: will be printed several to a line to a maximum width of 60
59: characters.
60: .TP 5
61: \fB-w\fR
62: change the output to \fIwidth\fR characters.

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

147: If the single-line capabilities occur in an entry, they will automatically

1.1 millert 149: \fBGG\fR are discarded with a warning message.

151: IBM's AIX has a terminfo facility descended from SVr1 terminfo but incompatible

1.8 ! nicm 167: Additionally, the AIX \fIbox1\fR capability will be automatically translated to

1.4 millert 170: Hewlett-Packard's terminfo library supports two nonstandard terminfo
1.8 ! nicm 171: capabilities \fImeml\fR (memory lock) and \fImemu\fR (memory unlock).
1.1 millert 172: These will be discarded with a warning message.
173: .SH NOTES
1.8 ! nicm 174: This utility is actually a link to \fBtic\fR(1), running in \fI-I\fR mode.
! 175: You can use other \fBtic\fR options such as \fB-f\fR and \fB-x\fR.
! 176: .PP
! 177: The trace option is not identical to SVr4's. Under SVr4, instead of following
! 178: the \fB-v\fR with a trace level n, you repeat it n times.
