NAME

       ul - do underlining

SYNOPSIS

       terminal] [name ...]

DESCRIPTION

       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 The option overrides the terminal type specified in the envi-
       ronment.   The  terminfo(4) file corresponding to is read to determine the appropriate sequences for underlining.  If the terminal is inca-
       pable of underlining, but is capable of a standout mode, the standout mode is used instead.  If the terminal  can  overstrike,  or  handles
       underlining automatically, degenerates to If the terminal cannot underline, underlining is ignored.

       The option causes to indicate underlining onto by a separate line containing appropriate dashes this is useful when you want to look at the
       underlining present in an output stream on a CRT terminal.

EXTERNAL INFLUENCES

   International Code Set Support
       Single- and multi-byte character code sets are supported with the exception that multi-byte-character file names are not supported.

WARNINGS

       usually outputs a series of backspaces and underlines intermixed with the text to indicate underlining.	No attempt is made to optimize the
       backward motion.
