+.SH NAME
+\fBcaptoinfo\fP \- convert a \fItermcap\fP description into a \fIterminfo\fP description
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+\fBcaptoinfo\fR [\fB\-v\fIn\fR \fIwidth\fR] [\fB\-V\fR] [\fB\-1\fR] [\fB\-w\fR \fIwidth\fR] \fIfile\fR ...
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+\fBcaptoinfo\fP looks in each given text
+\fIfile\fP for \fBtermcap\fP descriptions.
+For each
+one found, an equivalent \fBterminfo\fP description is written to standard
+output.
+Termcap \fBtc\fP capabilities are translated directly to terminfo
+\fBuse\fP capabilities.
+.PP
+If no \fIfile\fP is given, then the environment variable \fBTERMCAP\fP is used
+for the filename or entry.
+If \fBTERMCAP\fP is a full pathname to a file, only
+the terminal whose name is specified in the environment variable \fBTERM\fP is
+extracted from that file.
+If the environment variable \fBTERMCAP\fP is not
+set, then the file \fB\*d\fP is read.
+.TP 5
+\fB\-v\fP
+print out tracing information on standard error as the program runs.
+.TP 5
+\fB\-V\fP
+print out the version of the program in use on standard error and exit.
+.TP 5
+\fB\-1\fP
+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.
+.TP 5
+\fB\-w\fP
+change the output to \fIwidth\fP characters.
+.SH FILES
+.TP 20
+\*d
+Compiled terminal description database.
+.SH TRANSLATIONS FROM NONSTANDARD CAPABILITIES
+.PP
+Some obsolete nonstandard capabilities will automatically be translated
+into standard (SVr4/XSI Curses) terminfo capabilities by \fBcaptoinfo\fP.
+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.

+.PP
+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:

+.PP
+If the single-line capabilities occur in an entry, they will automatically
+be composed into an \fBacsc\fP string.
+The double-line capabilities and
+\fBGG\fP are discarded with a warning message.
+.PP
+IBM's AIX has a terminfo facility descended from SVr1 terminfo but incompatible
+with the SVr4 format.
+The following AIX extensions are automatically
+translated:

+c c
+l l.

+kbtab kcbt
+font0 s0ds
+font1 s1ds
+font2 s2ds
+font3 s3ds
+.TE
+.PP
+Additionally, the AIX \fIbox1\fP capability will be automatically translated to
+an \fBacsc\fP string.
+.PP
+Hewlett-Packard's terminfo library supports two nonstandard terminfo
+capabilities \fBmeml\fP (memory lock) and \fBmemu\fP (memory unlock).
+These will be discarded with a warning message.
+.SH NOTES
+This utility is actually a link to \fBtic\fP(1M), running in \fI\-I\fP mode.
+You can use other \fBtic\fP options such as \fB\-f\fP and \fB\-x\fP.
+.PP
+The verbose option is not identical to SVr4's.
+Under SVr4, instead of following
+the \fB\-v\fP with a trace level n, you repeat it n times.
+.SH PORTABILITY
+X/Open Curses, Issue 7 (2009) describes \fBtic\fP briefly,
+but omits this program.
+SVr4 systems provide \fBcaptoinfo\fP as a separate application from \fBtic\fP.
+.PP
+NetBSD does not provide this application.
