NAME
     captoinfo - convert a termcap description  into  a  terminfo
     description

SYNOPSIS
     captoinfo [-1] [-v]... [-V] [-w width] filename...


DESCRIPTION
     captoinfo looks in filename for  termcap  descriptions.  For
     each one found, an equivalent  terminfo description is writ-
     ten to standard output, along with  any  comments  found.  A
     description  which  is  expressed  as  relative  to  another
     description (as specified in the  termcap  tc  =  field)  is
     reduced to the minimum superset before being displayed.


     If no  filename is  given,  then  the  environment  variable
     TERMCAP  is used for the filename or entry. If TERMCAP  is a
     full pathname to a file,  only the terminal  whose  name  is
     specified in the environment variable TERM is extracted from
     that file. If the environment variable TERMCAP  is not  set,
     then the file /usr/share/lib/termcap is read.

OPTIONS
     -1          Display the fields one to a line. Otherwise, the
                 fields  are  printed  several  to a line, with a
                 maximum width of 60 characters.


     -v          Display  tracing  information  on  the  standard
                 error as the program runs. Specifying additional
                 -v options displays more detailed information.


     -V          Display the version of the program in use on the
                 standard error and then exit.


     -w width    Change the output to width characters.
