captoinfo - convert a termcap description into a terminfo description
SKŁADNIA
captoinfo [tic-option] [file ...]
captoinfo -V
OPIS
captoinfo looks in each given text file for termcap descriptions. For each one found, it writes an
equivalent terminfo description to the standard output stream. termcap tc capabilities are translated
directly to terminfo “use” capabilities.
If no files are specified, captoinfo interprets the content of the environment variable TERMCAP as a file
name, and extracts only the entry for the terminal named in the environment variable TERM from it. If
the environment variable TERMCAP is not set, captoinfo reads /etc/termcap.
This utility is implemented as a link to tic(1M), with the latter's -I option implied. You can use other
tic options such as -1, -f, -v, -w, and -x. The -V option reports the version of ncurses associated with
this program and exits with a successful status.
Translations from nonstandard capabilities
captoinfo translates some obsolete, nonstandard capabilities into standard (SVr4/XSI Curses) terminfo
capabilities. It issues a diagnostic to the standard error stream for each, inviting the user to check
that it has not mistakenly translated an unknown or mistyped capability name.

XENIX termcap had a set of extension capabilities, corresponding to box drawing characters of CCSID
(“code page”) 437, as follows.

If the single-line capabilities occur in an entry, they are composed into an acsc string. The
double-line capabilities and GG are discarded with a warning message.
IBM's AIX has a terminfo facility descended from SVr1 terminfo, but which is incompatible with the SVr4
format. captoinfo translates the following AIX extensions.

Additionally, this program translates the AIX box1 capability to an acsc string.
The HP-UX terminfo library supports two nonstandard terminfo capabilities, meml (memory lock) and memu
(memory unlock). captoinfo discards these with a warning message.
PLIKI

UWAGI
The verbose option is not identical to SVr4's. Under SVr4, instead of following the -v with a trace
level n, you repeat it n times.
PRZENOŚNOŚĆ
X/Open Curses, Issue 7 (2009) describes tic briefly, but omits this program. SVr4 systems provide
captoinfo as a separate application from tic.
NetBSD does not provide this application.
