The _terminfo_ database 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, *ul* degenerates to *cat*(1). If the terminal cannot underline, underlining is ignored. + +== OPTIONS + +*-i*, *--indicated*:: +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 *nroff* output stream on a crt-terminal. + +*-t*, *-T*, *--terminal* _terminal_:: +Override the environment variable *TERM* with the specified _terminal_ type. + +include::man-common/help-version.adoc[] + +== ENVIRONMENT + +The following environment variable is used: + +*TERM*:: +The *TERM* variable is used to relate a tty device with its device capability description (see *terminfo*(5)). *TERM* is set at login time, either by the default terminal type specified in _/etc/ttys_ or as set during the login process by the user in their _login_ file (see *setenv*(3)). + +== HISTORY + +The *ul* command appeared in 3.0BSD. + +== BUGS + +*nroff* usually outputs a series of backspaces and underlines intermixed with the text to indicate underlining. No attempt is made to optimize the backward motion. + +== SEE ALSO + +*colcrt*(1), +*login*(1), +*man*(1), +*nroff*(1), +*setenv*(3), +*terminfo*(5) + +include::man-common/bugreports.adoc[] + +include::man-common/footer.adoc[] + +ifdef::translation[] +include::man-common/translation.adoc[] +endif::[] |
