NAME

   infotocap - convert a terminfo description into a termcap description

SYNOPSIS

   infotocap [-vn width]  [-V] [-1] [-w width] file . . .

DESCRIPTION

   infotocap looks in each given text file for terminfo descriptions.  For
   each terminfo description found, an equivalent termcap  description  is
   written  to  standard output.  Terminfo use capabilities are translated
   directly to termcap tc capabilities.

   -v   print out tracing information on standard  error  as  the  program
        runs.

   -V   print  out the version of the program in use on standard error and
        exit.

   -1   cause the fields to print out  one  to  a  line.   Otherwise,  the
        fields  will be printed several to a line to a maximum width of 60
        characters.

   -w   change the output to width characters.

FILES

   /etc/terminfo       Compiled terminal description database.

NOTES

   This utility is actually a link to tic, running in -C  mode.   You  can
   use other tic options such as -f and  -x.
