| <STRONG>captoinfo</STRONG> looks in each given text <EM>file</EM> for <STRONG>termcap</STRONG> descriptions. For |
| each one found, an equivalent <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG> description is written to |
| standard output. Termcap <STRONG>tc</STRONG> capabilities are translated directly to |
| terminfo <STRONG>use</STRONG> capabilities. |
| |
| If no <EM>file</EM> is given, then the environment variable <STRONG>TERMCAP</STRONG> is used for |
| the filename or entry. If <STRONG>TERMCAP</STRONG> is a full pathname to a file, only |
| the terminal whose name is specified in the environment variable <STRONG>TERM</STRONG> |
| is extracted from that file. If the environment variable <STRONG>TERMCAP</STRONG> is |
| not set, then the file <STRONG>/usr/share/terminfo</STRONG> is read. |
| |
| <STRONG>-v</STRONG> print out tracing information on standard error as the program |
| runs. |
| |
| <STRONG>-V</STRONG> print out the version of the program in use on standard error and |
| exit. |
| |
| <STRONG>-1</STRONG> cause the fields to print out one to a line. Otherwise, the |
| fields will be printed several to a line to a maximum width of 60 |
| characters. |
| |
| <STRONG>-w</STRONG> change the output to <EM>width</EM> characters. |

| Some obsolete nonstandard capabilities will automatically be translated |
| into standard (SVr4/XSI Curses) terminfo capabilities by <STRONG>captoinfo</STRONG>. |
| Whenever one of these automatic translations is done, the program will |
| issue an notification to stderr, inviting the user to check that it has |
| not mistakenly translated a completely unknown and random capability |
| and/or syntax error. |

| XENIX termcap also used to have a set of extension capabilities for |
| forms drawing, designed to take advantage of the IBM PC high-half |
| graphics. They were as follows: |
| |
| Cap Graphic |

| G2 upper left |
| G3 lower left |
| G1 upper right |
| G4 lower right |
| GR pointing right |
| GL pointing left |

| Gr tee pointing left |
| Gu tee pointing up |
| Gd tee pointing down |
| Gh horizontal line |
| Gv vertical line |
| Gc intersection |
| GG acs magic cookie count |
| |
| If the single-line capabilities occur in an entry, they will |
| automatically be composed into an <STRONG>acsc</STRONG> string. The double-line |
| capabilities and <STRONG>GG</STRONG> are discarded with a warning message. |
| |
| IBM's AIX has a terminfo facility descended from SVr1 terminfo but |
| incompatible with the SVr4 format. The following AIX extensions are |
| automatically translated: |
| |
| IBM XSI |

| ksel kslt |
| kbtab kcbt |
| font0 s0ds |
| font1 s1ds |
| font2 s2ds |
| font3 s3ds |
| |
| Additionally, the AIX <EM>box1</EM> capability will be automatically translated |
| to an <STRONG>acsc</STRONG> string. |
| |
| Hewlett-Packard's terminfo library supports two nonstandard terminfo |
| capabilities <STRONG>meml</STRONG> (memory lock) and <STRONG>memu</STRONG> (memory unlock). These will |
| be discarded with a warning message. |

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

| X/Open Curses, Issue 7 (2009) describes <STRONG>tic</STRONG> briefly, but omits this |
| program. SVr4 systems provide <STRONG>captoinfo</STRONG> as a separate application from |
| <STRONG>tic</STRONG>. |
| |
| NetBSD does not provide this application. |
