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, +.B ul +degenerates to +.BR cat (1). +If the terminal cannot underline, underlining is ignored. +.SH OPTIONS +.TP +\fB\-i\fR, \fB\-\-indicated\fR +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 +.B nroff +output stream on a crt-terminal. +.TP +\fB\-t\fR, \fB\-T\fR, \fB\-\-terminal\fR \fIterminal\fR +Override the environment variable +.B TERM +with the specified +.I terminal +type. +.TP +\fB\-V\fR, \fB\-\-version\fR +Display version information and exit. +.TP +\fB\-h\fR, \fB\-\-help\fR +Display help text and exit. +.SH ENVIRONMENT +The following environment variable is used: +.TP +.B TERM +The +.B TERM +variable is used to relate a tty device with its device capability +description (see +.BR terminfo (5)). +.B TERM +is set at login time, either by the default terminal type specified in +.I /etc/ttys +or as set during the login process by the user in their +.B login +file (see +.BR setenv (3)). +.SH HISTORY +The +.B ul +command appeared in 3.0BSD. +.SH BUGS +.B 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. +.SH SEE ALSO +.BR colcrt (1), +.BR login (1), +.BR man (1), +.BR nroff (1), +.BR setenv (3), +.BR terminfo (5) +.SH AVAILABILITY +The ul command is part of the util-linux package and is available from +.UR https://\:www.kernel.org\:/pub\:/linux\:/utils\:/util-linux/ +Linux Kernel Archive +.UE . |
