NAME
       ul - do underlining and emboldening for a terminal

SYNOPSIS
       ul [ -i ] [ -t terminal ] [ name ...  ]

   where:
       terminal  Terminfo database terminal type
       name      Name of a file

DESCRIPTION
       Ul reads the named files (or 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 also translates overstruck characters to bold. Ul
       uses information from the terminfo database to determine the
       appropriate sequences for underlining and emboldening.

       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(1).  If the terminal cannot underline, underlining is ignored.

   Options
       -i     Do the underlining and embolding on a separate line.  The low-
              line character indicates underlining.  The exclamation mark
              indicates emboldening.

       -t     Overrides the terminal type specified in the environment.

EXAMPLES
       $ ul file01

       This command reads the file file01 and translates occurrences of
       underscores to the sequence which indicates underlining for the
       terminal in use.  If the terminal does not support underlining, ul
       displays the file just as cat would.
