ul(1)                    USER COMMANDS                      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 vari-
     able 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  avail-
     able:

     -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 contain-
                 ing  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.
