This is the same program as @INFOTOCAP@ and @CAPTOINFO@;
usually those are linked to, or copied from this program:
.bP
tells \fB@TIC@\fP to discard commented-out capabilities.
Normally when translating from terminfo to termcap,
untranslatable capabilities are commented-out.
-.TP 5
+.TP
\fB\-U\fP
tells \fB@TIC@\fP to not post-process the data after parsing the source file.
Normally, it infers data which is commonly missing in older terminfo data,
\fB\-x\fP
Treat unknown capabilities as user-defined (see \fBuser_caps\fP(5)).
That is, if you supply a capability name which \fB@TIC@\fP does not recognize,
-it will infer its type (boolean, number or string) from the syntax and
+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 as function keys.
-.SS PARAMETERS

.TP
\fIfile\fP
contains one or more \fBterminfo\fP terminal descriptions in source
.IP
If \fIfile\fP is \*(``-\*('', then the data is read from the standard input.
The \fIfile\fP parameter may also be the path of a character-device.
-.SS PROCESSING

All but one of the capabilities recognized by \fB@TIC@\fP are documented
in \fBterminfo\fP(5).
The exception is the \fBuse\fP capability.
