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/termcap file to determine the appropriate sequences for
     underlining. If the terminal is incapable of underlining, but is capa-
     ble 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.

OPTIONS
     -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.
