.SH NAME
\fB\%@INFOTOCAP@\fP \-
convert a \fI\%terminfo\fR description into a \fI\%termcap\fR description
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B @INFOTOCAP@
.RI [ tic-option ]
.I file
\&.\|.\|.
.P
.B "@INFOTOCAP@ \-V"
.SH DESCRIPTION
.B \%@INFOTOCAP@
translates terminal descriptions.
It looks in each given text
.I file
for
.I \%terminfo
entries and,
for each one found,
writes an analogous
.I \%termcap
description to the standard output stream.
.I \%terminfo
.RB \*(`` use \*(''
capabilities translate to
.I \%termcap
.B tc
capabilities.
Because
.I \%termcap
is a less expressive format than
.IR \%terminfo ,
some capabilities cannot be translated.
.PP
This utility is implemented as a link to \fB\%@TIC@\fP(1M),
with the latter's
.B \-C
option implied.
You can use other
.B \%@TIC@
options such as
.BR \-1 ,
.BR \-f ,
.BR \-v ,
.BR \-w ,
and
.BR \-x .
The
.B \-V
option reports the version of
.I \%ncurses
associated with this program and exits with a successful status.
.SH FILES
.TP
.I @TERMINFO@
compiled terminal description database
.SH EXTENSIONS
This command is an
.I \%ncurses
extension.
.SH PORTABILITY
X/Open Curses Issue\ 7 (2009) does not specify this command.
SVr4 and NetBSD
.I curses
do not implement it.
