60 <STRONG>infotocap</STRONG> translates terminal descriptions. It looks in each given
61 text <EM>file</EM> for <EM>terminfo</EM> entries and, For each one found, it writes an
62 analogous <EM>termcap</EM> description to the standard output stream. <EM>terminfo</EM>
63 "<STRONG>use</STRONG>" capabilities translate to <EM>termcap</EM> <STRONG>tc</STRONG> capabilities. Because
64 <EM>termcap</EM> is a less expressive format than <EM>terminfo</EM>, some capabilities
65 cannot be translated.

68 option implied. You can use other <STRONG>tic</STRONG> options such as <STRONG>-1</STRONG>, <STRONG>-f</STRONG>, <STRONG>-v</STRONG>, <STRONG>-w</STRONG>,
69 and <STRONG>-x</STRONG>. The <STRONG>-V</STRONG> option reports the version of <EM>ncurses</EM> associated with
70 this program and exits with a successful status.
