termcap str + params -> control seq. How?

[Risto Kankkunen]

What is the standard way to apply parameters to the termcap strings you
have read with tgetent? After a quick browse through manuals I didn't
find any functions that would take a string capability and some
parameters and return a string where those % escapes were replaced with
the parameters in the right form. Something like tgoto, but not tied to
cm capability.
