The \fIterminfo\fP 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, \fBul\fP degenerates to \fBcat\fP(1). If the terminal cannot underline, underlining is ignored. +.SH "OPTIONS" +.sp +\fB\-i\fP, \fB\-\-indicated\fP +.RS 4 +Underlining is indicated by a separate line containing appropriate dashes `\-\*(Aq; this is useful when you want to look at the underlining which is present in an \fBnroff\fP output stream on a crt\-terminal. +.RE +.sp +\fB\-t\fP, \fB\-T\fP, \fB\-\-terminal\fP \fIterminal\fP +.RS 4 +Override the environment variable \fBTERM\fP with the specified \fIterminal\fP type. +.RE +.sp +\fB\-h\fP, \fB\-\-help\fP +.RS 4 +Display help text and exit. +.RE +.sp +\fB\-V\fP, \fB\-\-version\fP +.RS 4 +Print version and exit. +.RE +.SH "ENVIRONMENT" +.sp +The following environment variable is used: +.sp +\fBTERM\fP +.RS 4 +The \fBTERM\fP variable is used to relate a tty device with its device capability description (see \fBterminfo\fP(5)). \fBTERM\fP is set at login time, either by the default terminal type specified in \fI/etc/ttys\fP or as set during the login process by the user in their \fIlogin\fP file (see \fBsetenv\fP(3)). +.RE +.SH "HISTORY" +.sp +The \fBul\fP command appeared in 3.0BSD. +.SH "BUGS" +.sp +\fBnroff\fP usually outputs a series of backspaces and underlines intermixed with the text to indicate underlining.
