|
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,
|
1997-08-20 11:01:59 +00:00
|
|
|
.Nm
|
1994-05-27 12:33:43 +00:00
|
|
|
degenerates to
|
|
|
|
.Xr cat 1 .
|
|
|
|
If the terminal cannot underline, underlining is ignored.

The following options are available:

Underlining is indicated by a separate line containing appropriate
|
2007-02-27 12:06:02 +00:00
|
|
|
dashes
|
|
|
|
.Ql \- ;

.Sh BUGS
|
1996-04-08 04:18:31 +00:00
|
|
|
The
|
|
|
|
.Xr nroff 1
|
|
|
|
command usually outputs a series of backspaces and underlines intermixed
|
2004-07-02 22:22:35 +00:00
|
|
|
with the text to indicate underlining.
|
|
|
|
No attempt is made to optimize
|
1994-05-27 12:33:43 +00:00
|
|
|
the backward motion.
