| 15 | .SH DESCRIPTION | |
| 16 | .I Ul | |
| 17 | reads the named files (or standard input if none are given) | |
| 18 | and translates occurances of underscores to the sequence | |
| 19 | which indicates underlining. | |
| 20 | If | |
| 21 | .B \-t | |
| 22 | is present, | |
| 23 | .I terminal | |
| 24 | is used as the terminal kind. | |
| 25 | Otherwise, the environment is looked in and | |
| 26 | .I /etc/termcap | |
| 27 | read to determine | |
| 28 | the appropriate sequences for underlining. | |
| 29 | If none of the fields | |
| 30 | .BR us , | |
| 31 | .BR ue , | |
| 32 | or | |
| 33 | .BR uc | |
| 34 | is present, and if | |
| 35 | .B so | |
| 36 | and | |
| 37 | .B se | |
| 38 | are present, standout mode is used to indicate underlining. | |
| 39 | If the terminal can overstrike, | |
| 40 | or handles underlining automatically, | |
| 41 | .I ul | |
| 42 | behaves like | |
| 43 | .IR cat (1). | |
| 44 | If the terminal cannot underline, underlining is ignored. | |

| 49 | .SH BUGS | |
| 50 | .I Nroff | |
| 51 | usually outputs a series of backspaces and underlines intermixed | |
| 52 | with the text to indicate underlining. No attempt is made to optimize | |
| 53 | the backward motion. |
