+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.B setterm
+writes to standard output a character string that will invoke the specified
+terminal capabilities.  Where possibile
+.I /etc/termcap
+is consulted to find the string to use.  Some options however do not
+correspond to a
+.BR termcap (5)
+capability.  In this case, if the terminal type is "minix-vc", or
+"minix-vcam" the string that invokes the specified capabilities on the PC
+Minix virtual console driver is output.  Options that are not implemented
+by the terminal are ignored.
+.SH OPTIONS
+Most options are self explanatory.  The less obvious options are as
+follows:
+.TP
+.B \-term
+can be used to override the TERM environment variable.
+.TP
+.B \-reset
+displays the terminal reset string, which typically resets the terminal to
+its power on state.
+.TP
+.B \-initialize
+displays the terminal initialization string, which typically sets the
+terminal's rendering options, and other attributes to the default values.
+.TP
+.B \-default
+sets the terminal's rendering options to the default values.
+.TP
+.B \-store
+stores the terminal's current rendering options as the default values.

+.SH BUGS
+Differences between the Minux and Linux versions are not documented.
