|
|

|
.Nm ul

.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
|
|
.Nm Ul
|
|
|
|
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
|
|
|
|
.Ev TERM .
|
|
|
|
The file
|
|
|
|
.Pa /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 underlining automatically,
|

|
|
.Nm
|

|
|
|
degenerates to
|
|
|
|
.Xr cat 1 .
|
|
|
|
If the terminal cannot underline, underlining is ignored.
|
|
|
|
.Pp
|
|
|
|
The following options are available:
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
|
|
.It Fl i
|
|
|
|
Underlining is indicated by a separate line containing appropriate
|
|
|
|
dashes `\-'; this is useful when you want to look at the underlining
|
|
|
|
which is present in an
|
|
|
|
.Xr nroff
|
|
|
|
output stream on a crt-terminal.
|
|
|
|
.It Fl t Ar terminal
|

.Ar terminal .

|

.Sh ENVIRONMENT
|
|
|
|
The following environment variable is used:
|
|
|
|
.Bl -tag -width TERM
|
|
|
|
.It Ev TERM
|
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
.Ev TERM
|
|
|
|
variable is used to relate a tty device
|
|
|
|
with its device capability description (see
|
|
|
|
.Xr termcap 5 ) .
|
|
|
|
.Ev TERM
|
|
|
|
is set at login time, either by the default terminal type
|
|
|
|
specified in
|
|
|
|
.Pa /etc/ttys
|
|
|
|
or as set during the login process by the user in their
|
|
|
|
.Pa login
|
|
|
|
file (see

|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
.Xr nroff 1
|
|
|
|
command usually outputs a series of backspaces and underlines intermixed
|
1994-05-27 12:33:43 +00:00
|
|
|
with the text to indicate underlining. No attempt is made to optimize
|
|
|
|
the backward motion.
