-\fBcaptoinfo\fR - convert a \fItermcap\fR description into a \fIterminfo\fR description

.SH SYNOPSIS

.SH DESCRIPTION
-\fBcaptoinfo\fR looks in \fIfile\fR for \fBtermcap\fR descriptions. For each
+\fB@CAPTOINFO@\fR looks in each given text
+\fIfile\fR for \fBtermcap\fR descriptions.
+For each
one found, an equivalent \fBterminfo\fR description is written to standard
-output. Termcap \fBtc\fR capabilities are translated directly to terminfo
+output.
+Termcap \fBtc\fR capabilities are translated directly to terminfo
\fBuse\fR capabilities.

If no \fIfile\fR is given, then the environment variable \fBTERMCAP\fR is used
-for the filename or entry. If \fBTERMCAP\fR is a full pathname to a file, only
+for the filename or entry.
+If \fBTERMCAP\fR is a full pathname to a file, only
the terminal whose name is specified in the environment variable \fBTERM\fR is
-extracted from that file. If the environment variable \fBTERMCAP\fR is not
+extracted from that file.
+If the environment variable \fBTERMCAP\fR is not
set, then the file \fB\*d\fR is read.

.SH TRANSLATIONS FROM NONSTANDARD CAPABILITIES
.PP
Some obsolete nonstandard capabilities will automatically be translated
-into standard (SVr4/XSI Curses) terminfo capabilities by \fBcaptoinfo\fR.

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

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:

Hewlett-Packard's terminfo library supports two nonstandard terminfo
capabilities \fBmeml\fR (memory lock) and \fBmemu\fR (memory unlock).
These will be discarded with a warning message.
.SH NOTES
-This utility is actually a link to \fItic\fR(1M), running in \fI-I\fR mode.
-You can use other \fItic\fR options such as \fB-f\fR and \fB-x\fR.
-
-The trace option isn't identical to SVr4's. Under SVr4, instead of following
-the -v with a trace level n, you repeat it n times.
