45 convert a \fI\%terminfo\fR description into a \fI\%termcap\fR description
54 \fB\%@INFOTOCAP@\fP translates terminal descriptions.
55 It looks in each given text \fIfile\fP for \fI\%terminfo\fP entries and,
57 it writes an analogous \fI\%termcap\fP description to the standard
59 \fI\%terminfo\fP \*(``\fBuse\fP\*('' capabilities translate to
60 \fI\%termcap\fP \fBtc\fP capabilities.
61 Because \fI\%termcap\fP is a less expressive format than
63 some capabilities cannot be translated.
65 This utility is implemented as a link to \fB\%@TIC@\fP(1M),
69 You can use other \fB\%@TIC@\fP options such as
76 The \fB\-V\fP option reports the version of \fI\%ncurses\fP associated
77 with this program and exits with a successful status.
