ul(1) User Commands ul(1) NAME ul - do underlining SYNOPSIS ul [-i] [-t terminal] [filename...] DESCRIPTION ul reads the named filenames (or the standard input if none are given) and translates occurrences of underscores to the sequence which indi- cates underlining for the terminal in use, as specified by the environ- ment variable TERM. ul uses the /usr/share/lib/terminfo entry to de- termine 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(1). If the terminal cannot under- line, underlining is ignored. OPTIONS -t terminal Override the terminal kind specified in the environment. If the terminal cannot underline, underlining is ignored. If the termi- nal name is not found, no underlining is attempted. -i Indicate underlining by a separate line containing appropriate dashes `-'; this is useful when you want to look at the underlin- ing which is present in an nroff(1) output stream on a CRT-termi- nal. RETURN VALUES ul returns exit code 1 if the file specified is not found.
