| <H2>NAME</H2><PRE> |
| <STRONG>captoinfo</STRONG> - convert a <EM>termcap</EM> description into a <EM>terminfo</EM> |
| description |
| |
| |
| </PRE> |
| <H2>SYNOPSIS</H2><PRE> |
| <STRONG>captoinfo</STRONG> [<STRONG>-v</STRONG><EM>n</EM> <EM>width</EM>] [<STRONG>-V</STRONG>] [<STRONG>-1</STRONG>] [<STRONG>-w</STRONG> <EM>width</EM>] <EM>file</EM> . . . |
| |
| |
| </PRE> |
| <H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE> |
| <STRONG>captoinfo</STRONG> looks in <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 speci- |
| fied 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 stan- |
| dard error and exit. |
| |
| <STRONG>-1</STRONG> cause the fields to print out one to a line. Other- |
| wise, 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. |

| <H2>TRANSLATIONS FROM NONSTANDARD CAPABILITIES</H2><PRE> |
| Some obsolete nonstandard capabilities will automatically |
| be translated into standard (SVr4/XSI Curses) terminfo |
| capabilities by <STRONG>captoinfo</STRONG>. Whenever one of these auto- |
| matic 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 capa- |
| bilities for forms drawing, designed to take advantage of |
| the IBM PC high-half graphics. They were as follows: |
| |

| Cap Graphic |

| G1 upper right |
| G4 lower right |
| GR pointing right |

| Gu tee pointing up |
| Gd tee pointing down |
| Gh horizontal line |
| Gv vertical line |

| GG acs magic cookie count |
| |
| If the single-line capabilities occur in an entry, they |
| will automatically be composed into an <EM>acsc</EM> string. The |
| double-line capabilities and <STRONG>GG</STRONG> are discarded with a warn- |
| ing message. |
| |
| IBM's AIX has a terminfo facility descended from SVr1 ter- |
| minfo 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 automati- |
| cally translated to an <EM>acsc</EM> string. |
| |
| Hewlett-Packard's terminfo library supports two nonstan- |
| dard terminfo capabilities <EM>meml</EM> (memory lock) and <EM>memu</EM> |
| (memory unlock). These will be discarded with a warning |
| message. |

| <H2>NOTES</H2><PRE> |
| 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 trace 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. |
