.SH NAME
-\fBcaptoinfo\fR - convert a \fItermcap\fR description into a \fIterminfo\fR description

.SH SYNOPSIS

.SH DESCRIPTION
-\fBcaptoinfo\fR looks in \fIfile\fR for \fBtermcap\fR descriptions. For each
+\fB@CAPTOINFO@\fR looks in each given text
+\fIfile\fR for \fBtermcap\fR descriptions.
+For each
one found, an equivalent \fBterminfo\fR description is written to standard
-output. Termcap \fBtc\fR capabilities are translated directly to terminfo
+output.
+Termcap \fBtc\fR capabilities are translated directly to terminfo
\fBuse\fR capabilities.

If no \fIfile\fR is given, then the environment variable \fBTERMCAP\fR is used
-for the filename or entry. If \fBTERMCAP\fR is a full pathname to a file, only
+for the filename or entry.
+If \fBTERMCAP\fR is a full pathname to a file, only
the terminal whose name is specified in the environment variable \fBTERM\fR is
-extracted from that file. If the environment variable \fBTERMCAP\fR is not
+extracted from that file.
+If the environment variable \fBTERMCAP\fR is not
set, then the file \fB\*d\fR is read.

.SH TRANSLATIONS FROM NONSTANDARD CAPABILITIES
.PP
Some obsolete nonstandard capabilities will automatically be translated
-into standard (SVr4/XSI Curses) terminfo capabilities by \fBcaptoinfo\fR.
+into standard (SVr4/XSI Curses) terminfo capabilities by \fB@CAPTOINFO@\fR.
Whenever one of these automatic translations is done, the program
will issue an notification to stderr, inviting the user to check that
it has not mistakenly translated a completely unknown and random
.PP
XENIX termcap also used to have a set of extension capabilities
for forms drawing, designed to take advantage of the IBM PC
-high-half graphics. They were as follows:

If the single-line capabilities occur in an entry, they will automatically
-be composed into an \fBacsc\fR string. The double-line capabilities and

IBM's AIX has a terminfo facility descended from SVr1 terminfo but incompatible

Hewlett-Packard's terminfo library supports two nonstandard terminfo
capabilities \fBmeml\fR (memory lock) and \fBmemu\fR (memory unlock).
These will be discarded with a warning message.
.SH NOTES
-This utility is actually a link to \fItic\fR(1M), running in \fI-I\fR mode.
-
-The trace option isn't identical to SVr4's. Under SVr4, instead of following
-the -v with a trace level n, you repeat it n times.
+This utility is actually a link to \fB@TIC@\fR(1M), running in \fI\-I\fR mode.
+You can use other \fB@TIC@\fR options such as \fB\-f\fR and \fB\-x\fR.
+.PP
+The verbose option is not identical to SVr4's.
+Under SVr4, instead of following
+the \fB\-v\fR with a trace level n, you repeat it n times.
+.SH PORTABILITY
+X/Open Curses, Issue 7 (2009) describes \fBtic\fP briefly,
+but omits this program.
+SVr4 systems provide \fBcaptoinfo\fP as a separate application from \fBtic\fP.
+.PP
+NetBSD does not provide this application.
