NAME
       ul - do underlining

SYNOPSIS
       terminal] [name ...]

DESCRIPTION
       reads  the named files (or standard input if none are given) and trans‐
       lates occurrences of underscores to the sequence which indicates under‐
       lining  for  the terminal in use, as specified by the environment vari‐
       able The option overrides the terminal type specified in	 the  environ‐
       ment.   The  terminfo(4) file corresponding to is read to determine the
       appropriate sequences for underlining.  If the terminal is incapable 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, under‐
       lining is ignored.

       The option causes to indicate underlining onto by a separate line  con‐
       taining	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.
