DESCRIPTION

12       infotocap looks in each given text file for terminfo descriptions.  For
13       each terminfo description found, an equivalent termcap  description  is
14       written  to  standard output.  Terminfo use capabilities are translated
15       directly to termcap tc capabilities.
16
17       -v   print out tracing information on standard  error  as  the  program
18            runs.
19
20       -V   print  out the version of the program in use on standard error and
21            exit.
22
23       -1   cause the fields to print out  one  to  a  line.   Otherwise,  the
24            fields  will be printed several to a line to a maximum width of 60
25            characters.
26
27       -w   change the output to width characters.
