ul(1)              UNIX System V(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/termcap 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.
