           description

## SYNOPSIS

           infotocap [-vn width]  [-V] [-1] [-w width] file . . .

## DESCRIPTION

           infotocap looks in file for  terminfo  descriptions.   For
           each one found, an equivalent termcap description is writ-
           ten to standard output.   Terminfo  use  capabilities  are
           translated directly to termcap tc capabilities.

           -v   print  out  tracing  information on standard error as
                the program runs.

           -V   print out the version of the program in use on  stan-
                dard error and exit.

           -1   cause  the fields to print out one to a line.  Other-
                wise, the fields will be printed several to a line to
                a maximum width of 60 characters.

           -w   change the output to width characters.
