  61 <H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
  62        <STRONG>captoinfo</STRONG> looks  in  each  given  text  <EM>file</EM>  for  <STRONG>termcap</STRONG>
  63        descriptions.   For each one found, an equivalent <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG>
  64        description is written to  standard  output.   Termcap  <STRONG>tc</STRONG>
  65        capabilities are translated directly to terminfo <STRONG>use</STRONG> capa-
  66        bilities.
  67
  68        If no <EM>file</EM> is given, then the environment variable <STRONG>TERMCAP</STRONG>
  69        is  used  for the filename or entry.  If <STRONG>TERMCAP</STRONG> is a full
  70        pathname to a file, only the terminal whose name is speci-
  71        fied  in  the  environment variable <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> is extracted from
  72        that file.  If the environment  variable  <STRONG>TERMCAP</STRONG>  is  not
  73        set, then the file <STRONG>/usr/share/terminfo</STRONG> is read.
  74
  75        <STRONG>-v</STRONG>   print  out  tracing  information on standard error as
  76             the program runs.
  77
  78        <STRONG>-V</STRONG>   print out the version of the program in use on  stan-
  79             dard error and exit.
  80
  81        <STRONG>-1</STRONG>   cause  the fields to print out one to a line.  Other-
  82             wise, the fields will be printed several to a line to
  83             a maximum width of 60 characters.
  84
  85        <STRONG>-w</STRONG>   change the output to <EM>width</EM> characters.

  95 <H2>TRANSLATIONS FROM NONSTANDARD CAPABILITIES</H2><PRE>
  96        Some obsolete nonstandard capabilities will  automatically
  97        be  translated  into  standard  (SVr4/XSI Curses) terminfo
  98        capabilities by <STRONG>captoinfo</STRONG>.  Whenever one  of  these  auto-
  99        matic  translations  is  done,  the  program will issue an
 100        notification to stderr, inviting the user to check that it
 101        has  not  mistakenly  translated  a completely unknown and
 102        random capability and/or syntax error.

 138        XENIX termcap also used to have a set of  extension  capa-
 139        bilities  for forms drawing, designed to take advantage of
 140        the IBM PC high-half graphics.  They were as follows:

 168
 169        If the single-line capabilities occur in  an  entry,  they
 170        will  automatically  be composed into an <EM>acsc</EM> string.  The
 171        double-line capabilities and <STRONG>GG</STRONG> are discarded with a warn-
 172        ing message.
 173
 174        IBM's AIX has a terminfo facility descended from SVr1 ter-
 175        minfo but incompatible with the SVr4 format.  The  follow-
 176        ing AIX extensions are automatically translated:

 187
 188        Additionally,  the  AIX  <EM>box1</EM> capability will be automati-
 189        cally translated to an <EM>acsc</EM> string.

 191        Hewlett-Packard's terminfo library supports  two  nonstan-
 192        dard  terminfo  capabilities  <EM>meml</EM>  (memory lock) and <EM>memu</EM>
 193        (memory unlock).  These will be discarded with  a  warning
 194        message.

 198 <H2>NOTES</H2><PRE>
 199        This  utility is actually a link to <STRONG><A HREF="tic.1m.html">tic(1m)</A></STRONG>, running in <EM>-I</EM>
 200        mode.  You can use other <STRONG>tic</STRONG> options such as <STRONG>-f</STRONG> and  <STRONG>-x</STRONG>.
 201
 202        The trace option is not identical to SVr4's.  Under  SVr4,
 203        instead  of  following  the  <STRONG>-v</STRONG>  with a trace level n, you
 204        repeat it n times.
