.SH SYNOPSIS
.B @CAPTOINFO@
.RI [ tic-option ]
\fB\%@CAPTOINFO@\fP translates terminal descriptions.
It looks in each given text \fIfile\fP for \fI\%termcap\fP entries and,
for each one found,
-writes an equivalent \fI\%terminfo\fP description to the standard output
-stream.
-\fI\%termcap\fP \fBtc\fP capabilities translate to \fI\%terminfo\fP

+\fI\%termcap\fP \fBtc\fP capabilities translate to \fI\%\%term\%info\fP
\*(``\fBuse\fP\*('' capabilities.
.PP
If no \fIfile\fPs are specified,
\fB\%@CAPTOINFO@\fP translates some obsolete,
nonstandard capabilities into standard
(SVr4/XSI Curses)
-\fI\%terminfo\fP capabilities.

It issues a diagnostic to the standard error stream for each,
inviting the user to check that it has not mistakenly translated an
unknown or mistyped capability name.

-.SH NOTES
-The verbose option is not identical to SVr4's.
-Under SVr4,
-instead of following the \fB\-v\fP with a trace level \fIn\fP,
-you repeat it \fIn\fP times.
.SH PORTABILITY
X/Open Curses,
Issue 7 (2009) describes \fBtic\fP briefly,
but omits this program.
+.PP
SVr4 systems provide \fB\%captoinfo\fP as a separate application from
\fBtic\fP.
+Its
+.B \-v
+option does not accept a trace level argument
+.I n;
+repeat
+.B \-v
+.I n
+times instead.
.PP
NetBSD does not provide this application.
