-<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2><PRE>
- <STRONG>infotocap</STRONG> looks in each given text <EM>file</EM> for <STRONG>terminfo</STRONG>
- descriptions. For each terminfo description found, an
- equivalent <STRONG>termcap</STRONG> description is written to standard out-
- put. Terminfo <STRONG>use</STRONG> capabilities are translated directly to
- termcap <STRONG>tc</STRONG> capabilities.
-
- <STRONG>-v</STRONG> print out tracing information on standard error as
- the program runs.
- <STRONG>-V</STRONG> print out the version of the program in use on stan-
- dard error and exit.
+</PRE><H2><a name="h2-DESCRIPTION">DESCRIPTION</a></H2><PRE>
+ <STRONG>infotocap</STRONG> translates terminal descriptions. It looks in each given
+ text <EM>file</EM> for <EM>terminfo</EM> entries and, For each one found, it writes an
+ analogous <EM>termcap</EM> description to the standard output stream. <EM>terminfo</EM>
+ "<STRONG>use</STRONG>" capabilities translate to <EM>termcap</EM> <STRONG>tc</STRONG> capabilities. Because
+ <EM>termcap</EM> is a less expressive format than <EM>terminfo</EM>, some capabilities
+ cannot be translated.
- <STRONG>-1</STRONG> cause the fields to print out one to a line. Other-
- wise, the fields will be printed several to a line to

+ This utility is implemented as a link to <STRONG><A HREF="tic.1m.html">tic(1m)</A></STRONG>, with the latter's <STRONG>-C</STRONG>
+ option implied. You can use other <STRONG>tic</STRONG> options such as <STRONG>-1</STRONG>, <STRONG>-f</STRONG>, <STRONG>-v</STRONG>, <STRONG>-w</STRONG>,
+ and <STRONG>-x</STRONG>. The <STRONG>-V</STRONG> option reports the version of <EM>ncurses</EM> associated with
+ this program and exits with a successful status.
