-.SH DESCRIPTION
-.I tconv
-converts between the three terminal descriptions,
-termcap, terminfo source, and terminfo binary,
-that the
-.I tinfo
-library uses.
-It performs the same functions of
-.IR captoinfo (1M)
-and
-.IR tic (1M)
-of System V.
-It also can be used to generate a terminfo source listing from a terminfo
-binary, one of the functions of System V's
-.IR infocmp (1M).
-.SS Translation Options
-.PD 0

-.B \-c

-If a file is specified, one of
-.B \-c
-or
-.B \-i
-must specified and the whole file while be translated.
-If no file is specified then the input options will only restrict looking
-for the terminal to be translated in places likely have descriptions
-of the desired type
-(ie. with the
-.B -c
-option in the
-.B TERMCAP
-environment variable, and in
-.IR /etc/termcap ,
-with the
-.B -i
-option in the
-.B TERMINFO
-environment variable, and in
-.IR /usr/lib/terminfo ),
-otherwise
-.I tconv
-will look in all available databases.
-If neither
-.B \-I
-or
-.B \-B
-are given the
-.B \-I
-option will be assumed.
-If the
-.B \-B
-option is used, the compiled output will be put in the the
-terminfo database, otherwise standard output is used.
-.PP
-You cannot translate from terminfo binary to terminfo binary.
-Translating from terminfo source to terminfo source is possible,
-but not of much use in most cases, as
-.B use=
-fields will be followed and incorporated into the output terminal
-description.
-.PP
-.I tconv
-should be able translate all standard termcap parameterized strings
-terminfo format, but complex strings using GNU's %a code may be
-too hard to translate.
-If
-.I tconv
-thinks a termcap string is already in terminfo format (if a %p
-code appears in the string), it won't try to translate it.
-String capabilities that don't take parameters won't be translated.
-.PP
-.B
-.SS Termcap options
-The following options are available when translating termcap entries
-(\fB\-c\fR options is used).
-.PP
-.PD 0
-.TP
-.B \-d
-don't supply any defaults for missing capabilities
-.TP
-.B \-O
-include obsolete termcap capabilities
-.TP
-.B \-G

-include UW capabilities
-.PD
-.SS Other Options
-.PD 0
-.TP
-.B \-k
-keep comments when translating a file
-.TP
-.B \-V
-print version information and exit
-.TP
-.BI \-D " " dir
-directory to put terminfo binaries in
-.TP
-.BI \-t " " term
-terminal name to translate
-.PD
-.PP
-If no terminal specified with the
-.B \-t
-option, then the terminal name to to translate will be taken from the
-environment variable
-.BR TERM .
-.SH FILES
-.PD 0
-.TP 2i
-.B /usr/lib/terminfo
-The default location to get and put terminfo binaries.
-.TP
-.B /usr/lib/terminfo/terminfo.src
-The default filename of the terminfo source file.
-.TP
-.B /etc/termcap
-The default filename of the termcap database.

-.SH DIAGNOSTICS
-The line number of a warning message when translating a file
-may refer to the last line of an entry instead of the line in the entry
-that generated the warning.
-.SH BUGS
-More warning messages could be generated.
-.I tconv
-can't translate to termcap. Binaries generated will have cancelled
-capabilities marked as cancelled, which is incompatible with
-System V Release 2.0 terminfo.
