The command is any command that sends the correct escape sequence to the screen. The sequence doesn't change.
Shell:
AWK:
If your terminal isn't standard, it may not support underlining, or may require a different sequence. These days, such terminals are rare, but you may be able to get the sequence with tput.. Read the man pages for tput and terminfo and/or termcap.

tput
TPUT(1) BSD General Commands Manual TPUT(1)NAME
tput, clear -- terminal capability interface
SYNOPSIS
tput [-T term] attribute ...
clear
DESCRIPTION
The tput utility makes terminal-dependent information available to users or shell applications. When invoked as the clear utility, the
screen will be cleared as if
tput clear
had been executed. The options to tput are as follows:
-T The terminal name as specified in the termcap(5) database, for example, ``vt100'' or ``xterm''. If not specified, tput retrieves the
``TERM'' variable from the environment.
The tput utility outputs a string for each attribute that is of type string; a number for each of type integer. Otherwise, tput exits 0 if
the terminal has the capability and 1 if it does not, without further action.
If an attribute is of type string, and takes arguments (e.g. cursor movement, the termcap ``cm'' sequence) the arguments are taken from the
command line immediately following the attribute.
The following special attributes are available:
clear Clear the screen (the termcap(5) ``cl'' sequence).
init Initialize the terminal (the termcap(5) ``is'' sequence).
longname Print the descriptive name of the user's terminal type.
reset Reset the terminal (the termcap(5) ``rs'' sequence).
EXIT STATUS
The exit status of tput is as follows:
0 If the last attribute attribute argument is of type string or integer, its value was successfully written to standard output. If the
argument is of type boolean, the terminal has this attribute.
1 This terminal does not have the specified boolean attribute.
2 Usage error.
3 No information is available about the specified terminal type.
SEE ALSO termcap(5), terminfo(5)STANDARDS
The tput utility conforms to IEEE Std 1003.1-2001 (``POSIX.1'').
HISTORY
The tput utility appeared in 4.4BSD.
BUGS
The tput utility cannot really distinguish between different types of attributes.
Some termcap entries depend upon having a '%' in them that is just a '%' and nothing more. Right now we just warn about them if they do not
have a valid type declaration. These warnings are sent to stderr.
