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