NAME
\%@INFOTOCAP@ - convert a \%terminfo description into a \%termcap description
SYNOPSIS
@INFOTOCAP@ [ tic-option ] file .\|.\|.

"@INFOTOCAP@ -V"

DESCRIPTION
\%@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@(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.

FILES
