For each one found, an equivalent \fBterminfo\fR description is written to standard output. Termcap \fBtc\fR capabilities are translated directly to terminfo \fBuse\fR capabilities. .PP 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 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 set, then the file \fB\*d\fR is read. .TP 5 \fB-v\fR print out tracing information on standard error as the program runs. .TP 5 \fB-V\fR print out the version of the program in use on standard error and exit. .TP 5 \fB-1\fR 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\fR change the output to \fIwidth\fR 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 \fB@CAPTOINFO@\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 capability and/or syntax error. .PP .TS H c c c c c c c c l l l l.

The double-line capabilities and \fBGG\fR 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: .TS c c l l. IBM XSI _ ksel kslt kbtab kcbt font0 s0ds font1 s1ds font2 s2ds font3 s3ds .TE .PP Additionally, the AIX \fIbox1\fR capability will be automatically translated to an \fIacsc\fR string. .PP Hewlett-Packard's terminfo library supports two nonstandard terminfo capabilities \fImeml\fR (memory lock) and \fImemu\fR (memory unlock). These will be discarded with a warning message. .SH NOTES This utility is actually a link to \fB@TIC@\fR(1M), running in \fI-I\fR mode. You can use other \fB@TIC@\fR options such as \fB-f\fR and \fB-x\fR. .PP The trace option is not identical to SVr4's. Under SVr4, instead of following the \fB-v\fR with a trace level n, you repeat it n times. .SH SEE ALSO \fB@INFOCMP@\fR(1M), \fBcurses\fR(3X), \fBterminfo\fR(\*n) .PP This describes \fBncurses\fR version @NCURSES_MAJOR@.@NCURSES_MINOR@ (patch @NCURSES_PATCH@). .SH AUTHOR Eric S.
