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.
