.SH NAME
\fB\%infotocap\fP \-
convert a \fI\%terminfo\fR description into a \fI\%termcap\fR description
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B infotocap
.RI [ tic-option ]
.I file
\&.\|.\|.
.P
.B "infotocap \-V"
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fB\%infotocap\fP translates terminal descriptions.
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.
