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: |
|
captoinfo - convert a termcap description into a terminfo description |
|
captoinfo [-vn width] [-V] [-1] [-w width] file . . . |
|
captoinfo looks in file for termcap descriptions. For each one found, an equivalent terminfo description is written to standard output. Termcap tc capabilities are translated directly to terminfo use capabilities. If no file 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/terminfo is read. |
|
-v |
print out tracing information on standard error as the program runs. |
||
|
-V |
print out the version of the program in use on standard error and exit. |
||
|
-1 |
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. |
||
|
-w |
change the output to width characters. |
|
/usr/share/terminfo |
Compiled terminal description database. |
|
Some obsolete nonstandard capabilities will automatically be translated into standard (SVr4/XSI Curses) terminfo capabilities by captoinfo. 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. |
