NAME
       infotocap  - convert a terminfo description into a termcap

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.
