ul(1) General Commands Manual ul(1) Name ul - process underscores for terminal Syntax ul [-i] [-t terminal] [name...] Description The command reads the named files (or 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. The -t option overrides the terminal kind specified in the environment. The file /etc/termcap is read 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 under- lining automatically, degenerates to If the terminal cannot underline, underlining is ignored. The -i option causes to 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 output stream on a crt-terminal. Options -i Displays underscoring on separate line containing appropriate dashes (-). -t terminal Uses type of specified terminal in place your terminal's type. Restrictions The command usually outputs a series of backspaces and underlines intermixed with the text to indicate underlining. No attempt is made to optimize the backward motion.
