+ 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 termcaptc capabilities. Because
+ termcap is a less expressive format than terminfo, some capabilities
+ cannot be translated.
- -w change the output to width characters.
+ This utility is implemented as a link to tic(1m), 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.
