CAPINFO(C)               XENIX System V                CAPINFO(C)



     Name
          capinfo - convert termcap descriptions into terminfo
          descriptions.

     Syntax
          capinfo   capfile   infofile

     DESCRIPTION
          capinfo invokes an ex(C) script to begin the conversion of a
          termcap terminal description into the equivalent terminfo
          description.  The conversion needs to be completed by hand.
          The following areas should be given special attention:

          - Padding specifications in termcap(M) have this syntax:

               n.m*

          while those in terminfo(M) are:

               $<n.m*>

          These are not converted by capinfo.

          - Many terminfo capabilities do not have termcap equivalents.
             The XENIX extensions to termcap do not have terminfo
             equivalents.

          - The termcap capabilities cr, nl, and ht
             are noted in the ex script as being problematical.

     Notes
          This command will be improved to handle the above
          exceptions.
