.SH DESCRIPTION
These routines are included as a conversion aid for programs that use
the \fItermcap\fR library.
-Their parameters are the same and the
+Their parameters are the same, but the
routines are emulated using the \fIterminfo\fR database.
Thus, they
can only be used to query the capabilities of entries for which a
termcap library interfaces.
