It looks in each given text \fIfile\fP for \fI\%terminfo\fP entries and, For each one found, it writes an analogous \fI\%termcap\fP description to the standard output stream. \fI\%terminfo\fP \*(``\fBuse\fP\*('' capabilities translate to \fI\%termcap\fP \fBtc\fP capabilities. Because \fI\%termcap\fP is a less expressive format than \fI\%terminfo\fP, some capabilities cannot be translated. .PP This utility is implemented as a link to \fB\%tic\fP(1), with the latter's .B \-C option implied. You can use other \fB\%tic\fP options such as .BR \-1 , .BR \-f , .BR \-v , .BR \-w , and .BR \-x . The \fB\-V\fP option reports the version of \fI\%ncurses\fP associated with this program and exits with a successful status. .SH FILES .TP .I \*d compiled terminal description database .SH PORTABILITY None of X/Open Curses, Issue 7 (2009), SVr4, or NetBSD document this application. .SH AUTHORS Eric S.
