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  written  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 standard error and
            exit.

       -1   cause the fields to print out  one  to  a  line.   Otherwise,  the
            fields  will be printed several to a line to a maximum width of 60
            characters.

       -w   change the output to width characters.
