infotocap - convert a terminfo description
into a termcap description
infotocap [tic-option] file
. . .
infotocap -V
infotocap translates terminal descriptions. It looks
in each given text file for terminfo entries and, For
each one found, it writes an analogous termcap description to
the standard output stream. terminfo use
capabilities translate to termcap tc
capabilities. Because termcap is a less expressive format than
terminfo, some capabilities cannot be translated.
This utility is implemented as a link to tic(1),
with the latter's -C option implied. You can use other
tic options such as -1,
-f, -v, -w, and
-x. The -V option reports the version
of ncurses associated with this program and exits with a
successful status.
