NAME
infotocap - convert a terminfo description into a termcap description
SYNOPSIS
infotocap [tic-option] file ...
infotocap -V
DESCRIPTION
infotocap translates terminal descriptions. It looks in each given
text file for terminfo entries and, For each one found, it writes an
analogous termcap description to the standard output stream. terminfo
"use" capabilities translate to termcap tc capabilities. Because
termcap is a less expressive format than terminfo, some capabilities
cannot be translated.
This utility is implemented as a link to tic(1M), with the latter's -C
option implied. You can use other tic options such as -1, -f, -v, -w,
and -x. The -V option reports the version of ncurses associated with
this program and exits with a successful status.
FILES

application.
