This is the same program as infotocap and captoinfo; usually those are
linked to, or copied from this program:
translating from terminfo to termcap, untranslatable
capabilities are commented-out.
- <STRONG>-U</STRONG> tells <STRONG>tic</STRONG> to not post-process the data after parsing the source
- file. Normally, it infers data which is commonly missing in older
- terminfo data, or in termcaps.

Treat unknown capabilities as user-defined (see <STRONG><A HREF="user_caps.5.html">user_caps(5)</A></STRONG>).
- That is, if you supply a capability name which <STRONG>tic</STRONG> does not
- recognize, it will infer its type (boolean, number or string) from
- the syntax and make an extended table entry for that. User-
- defined capability strings whose name begins with "k" are treated
