System: NetBSD hpmicro.a.back-street.net 5.99.39 NetBSD 5.99.39 (HPMICRO) #10: Sat Sep 25 13:03:13 JST 2010 taca@hpmicro.a.back-street.net:/var/obj/sys/arch/amd64/compile/HPMICRO amd64
Architecture: x86_64

>Description:
	getcap(3) is described in curses(3) and <curses.h>, but there
	is no function in libcuress.*.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Compile and link a program which use getcap(3).

getcap-test.c:

--------------------------------------------------------------------

#include <curses.h>

int
main()
{
	WINDOW *w;
	char *s;

	w = initscr();
	if (w != NULL) {
		s = getcap("cm");
		printf("getcap(cm) %s NULL\n",
		       (s == NULL)? "returns": "dosen't return");
	}
}

--------------------------------------------------------------------

% cc getcap-test.c -lcurses

	It succeeds on NetBSD 4.0_STABLE or NetBSD 5.1_RC4 but on 5.99.39:

/var/tmp//ccXwtLxn.o: In function `main':
getcap-test.c:(.text+0x1e): undefined reference to `getcap'

>Fix:
	I don't know getcap(3) is really deprecated or accidently
	removed from curses(3).  If former, we shoudn't have getcap()
	in curses.h.  I belive it was accidently removed...

      getcap(3) is a termcap related function.  Since NetBSD now uses
 termlib and not termcap, the manpage and the curses.h entries should
 probably just be eliminated since getcap() doesn't make any sense in
 a termlib world.

 But it hasn't been pulled up to -6 it seems.
