For each +one found, an equivalent \fBterminfo\fR description is written to standard +output. Termcap \fBtc\fR capabilities are translated directly to terminfo +\fBuse\fR capabilities. +.PP +If no \fIfile\fR is given, then the environment variable \fBTERMCAP\fR is used +for the filename or entry. If \fBTERMCAP\fR is a full pathname to a file, only +the terminal whose name is specified in the environment variable \fBTERM\fR is +extracted from that file. If the environment variable \fBTERMCAP\fR is not +set, then the file \fB\*d\fR is read. +.TP 5 +\fB-v\fR +print out tracing information on standard error as the program runs. +.TP 5 +\fB-V\fR +print out the version of the program in use on standard error and exit. +.TP 5 +\fB-1\fR +cause the fields to print out one to a line.
