.SH SYNOPSIS

.SH DESCRIPTION
-\fBcaptoinfo\fR looks in \fIfile\fR for \fBtermcap\fR descriptions. For each
+\fB@CAPTOINFO@\fR looks in \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
\fBuse\fR capabilities.

+.PP
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
the terminal whose name is specified in the environment variable \fBTERM\fR is
.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
.TE
.PP
If the single-line capabilities occur in an entry, they will automatically
-be composed into an \fBacsc\fR string. The double-line capabilities and
+be composed into an \fIacsc\fR string. The double-line capabilities and
\fBGG\fR are discarded with a warning message.
.PP
IBM's AIX has a terminfo facility descended from SVr1 terminfo but incompatible
with the SVr4 format. The following AIX extensions are automatically
translated:
-.PP
.TS
c c
l l.
font3 s3ds
.TE
.PP
-Additionally, the AIX \fBbox1\fR capability will be automatically translated to
-an \fBacsc\fR string.
+Additionally, the AIX \fIbox1\fR capability will be automatically translated to
+an \fIacsc\fR string.
.PP
Hewlett-Packard's terminfo library supports two nonstandard terminfo
-capabilities \fBmeml\fR (memory lock) and \fBmemu\fR (memory unlock).
+capabilities \fImeml\fR (memory lock) and \fImemu\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.
-You can use other \fItic\fR options such as \fB-f\fR and \fB-x\fR.

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.
