<H2>DESCRIPTION</H2>
The
<B></B>
utility reads the named files (or standard input if none are given)
and translates occurrences of underscores to the sequence
which indicates underlining for the terminal in use, as specified
by the environment variable
<B>TERM</B>
The file
/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,
<B></B>
degenerates to
<A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+cat">cat</A>(1).
If the terminal cannot underline, underlining is ignored.
During the translation some other special characters also get translated.
E.g. TAB gets expanded to spaces.

The following options are available:

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
<A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+nroff">nroff</A>(1)
output stream on a CRT-terminal.
<DT id="2"><B>-t </B><I>terminal</I>

Overrides the terminal type specified in the environment with

command appeared in

<H2>BUGS</H2>
The
<A HREF="/cgi-bin/man/man2html?1+nroff">nroff</A>(1)
command usually outputs a series of backspaces and underlines intermixed
with the text to indicate underlining.
No attempt is made to optimize
the backward motion.
