<STRONG>captoinfo</STRONG> translates terminal descriptions. It looks in each given
text <EM>file</EM> for <EM>termcap</EM> entries and, for each one found, writes an
equivalent <EM>terminfo</EM> description to the standard output stream. <EM>termcap</EM>
<STRONG>tc</STRONG> capabilities translate to <EM>terminfo</EM> "<STRONG>use</STRONG>" capabilities.
If no <EM>file</EM>s are specified, <STRONG>captoinfo</STRONG> interprets the content of the
environment variable <EM>TERMCAP</EM> as a file name, and extracts only the
entry for the terminal named in the environment variable <EM>TERM</EM> from it.
If the environment variable <EM>TERMCAP</EM> is not set, <STRONG>captoinfo</STRONG> reads
<EM>/etc/termcap</EM>.
This utility is implemented as a link to <STRONG><A HREF="tic.1m.html">tic(1m)</A></STRONG>, with the latter's <STRONG>-I</STRONG>
option implied. You can use other <STRONG>tic</STRONG> options such as <STRONG>-1</STRONG>, <STRONG>-f</STRONG>, <STRONG>-v</STRONG>, <STRONG>-w</STRONG>,
and <STRONG>-x</STRONG>. The <STRONG>-V</STRONG> option reports the version of <EM>ncurses</EM> associated with
this program and exits with a successful status.
</PRE><H3><a name="h3-Translations-from-Nonstandard-Capabilities">Translations from Nonstandard Capabilities</a></H3><PRE>
<STRONG>captoinfo</STRONG> translates some obsolete, nonstandard capabilities into
standard (SVr4/XSI Curses) <EM>terminfo</EM> 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 <EM>termcap</EM> had a set of extension capabilities, corresponding to box

<STRONG>captoinfo</STRONG> composes single-line capabilities into an <STRONG>acsc</STRONG> string, and
discards <STRONG>GG</STRONG> and double-line capabilities with a warning diagnostic.
IBM's AIX has a <EM>terminfo</EM> facility descended from SVr1 <EM>terminfo</EM>, but
which is incompatible with the SVr4 format. <STRONG>captoinfo</STRONG> translates the
following AIX extensions.

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

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>. Its
<STRONG>-v</STRONG> option does not accept a trace level argument <EM>n</EM>; repeat <STRONG>-v</STRONG> <EM>n</EM> times
instead.
NetBSD does not provide this application.
