! 34: .SH NAME
! 35: \fBcaptoinfo\fR - convert a \fItermcap\fR description into a \fIterminfo\fR description
! 36: .SH SYNOPSIS
! 37: \fBcaptoinfo\fR [\fB-v\fR\fIn\fR \fIwidth\fR] [\fB-V\fR] [\fB-1\fR] [\fB-w\fR \fIwidth\fR] \fIfile\fR . . .
! 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.
! 43: .PP
! 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
! 50: \fB-v\fR
! 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
! 148: be composed into an \fIacsc\fR string. The double-line capabilities and
! 149: \fBGG\fR are discarded with a warning message.
! 150: .PP
! 151: IBM's AIX has a terminfo facility descended from SVr1 terminfo but incompatible
! 152: with the SVr4 format. The following AIX extensions are automatically

! 167: Additionally, the AIX \fIbox1\fR capability will be automatically translated to
! 168: an \fIacsc\fR string.
! 169: .PP
! 170: Hewlett-Packard's terminfo library supports two nonstandard terminfo
! 171: capabilities \fImeml\fR (memory lock) and \fImemu\fR (memory unlock).
! 172: These will be discarded with a warning message.
! 173: .SH NOTES
! 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.
