ul(1)                   (BSD Compatibility Package)                   ul(1)


   NAME
         ul - underline

   SYNOPSIS
         /usr/ucb/ul [ -i ] [ -t terminal ] [ filename...  ]

   DESCRIPTION
         The ul command reads the named filenames (or the standard input if
         none are given) and translates occurrences of underscores to the
         sequence which indicates underlining for the terminal in use, as
         specified by the environment variable TERM.  ul uses the
         /usr/share/lib/terminfo file to determine the appropriate sequences
         for underlining.  If the terminal is incapable of underlining, but is
         capable of a standout mode then that is used instead.  If the
         terminal can overstrike, or handles underlining automatically, ul
         degenerates to cat.  If the terminal cannot underline, underlining is
         ignored.

         The following options are available:

         -t terminal Override the terminal kind specified in the environment.
                     If the terminal cannot underline, underlining is ignored.

         -i          Indicate underlining by a separate line containing
                     appropriate dashes -; this is useful when you want to
                     look at the underlining which is present in an nroff
                     output stream on a CRT-terminal.
