## 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 out-
           put.  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 stan-
                dard error and exit.

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

           -w   change the output to width characters.

## FILES

                               base.

## NOTES

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