termcap description is written to standard output. Terminfo
use
capabilities are translated directly to termcap
tc capabilities.

- 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.
- /etc/terminfo
- Compiled terminal description database.
