ul(1BSD)             (BSD System Compatibility)             ul(1BSD)


       NAME
             ul - (BSD) underline

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

       DESCRIPTION
             The ul command reads the named files (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.
