infocmp -- Command De-compile a terminfo file infocmp [file ... ] infocmp reads a set of compiled terminal information, decodes its contents, and writes the decoded information to the standard output. It does its best to recreate the terminfo source from which the set of information had been compiled. file must hold compiled terminfo information. If no file is named on the command line, infocmp reads the standard input. infocmp first seeks file in the directory named by the environmental variable TERMINFO. If this variable has not been set, it seeks file in the default directory /usr/lib/terminfo. Thus, you can type the command infocmp ansipc in any directory and infocmp builds the appropriate path on its own. In case of emergency, the output of infocmp can be piped to the terminfo compiler tic. See Also commands, term, tic, terminfo Notes infocmp was written by Pavel Curtis of Cornell University. It was ported to COHERENT by Udo Munk, with additional changes by Mark Williams Company.
