说明
captoinfo converts termcap terminal capability descriptions into the terminfo format. For each termcap entry found in the input file, an equivalent terminfo description is written to standard output. It also translates some obsolete, nonstandard capabilities into standard (SVr4/XSI Curses) terminfo capabilities. If no files are specified, captoinfo reads from the file named in the TERMCAP environment variable and extracts only the entry for the terminal named in TERM. If TERMCAP is not set, it reads from /etc/termcap by default. The utility is implemented as a link to tic(1) with the -I option implied. Other tic options like -1, -f, -v, -w, and -x can be used.
