HISTORY
capfile described the capabilities of terminals, used by programs such as
vi(1) and hack(6). These programs still use capfile today, but their
capability requests are mapped onto terminfo(5) ones instead. As such,
the termcap database file is no longer shipped with NetBSD.
capfile should be replaced by termcap here ?
