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(1),
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
- /etc/terminfo
-
compiled terminal description database
PORTABILITY
