infotocap - convert a terminfo description into a termcap description

Authors

       Eric S. Raymond <esr@snark.thyrsus.com> and
       Thomas E. Dickey <dickey@invisible-island.net>

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.   terminfouse”  capabilities  translate  to  termcaptc 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.
