.Sh DESCRIPTION
2002-04-20 12:18:28 +00:00
The
.Nm
utility reads the named files (or standard input if none are given)
1994-05-27 12:33:43 +00:00
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
1994-05-27 12:33:43 +00:00
degenerates to
.Xr cat 1 .
If the terminal cannot underline, underlining is ignored.
.Pp
The following options are available:
