+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ul
+.Nd do underlining
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Nm ul
+.Op Fl i
+.Op Fl t Ar terminal
+.Op Ar name Ar ...
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+.Nm Ul
+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
+.Ev TERM .
+The file
+.Pa /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,
+.Nm ul
+degenerates to
+.Xr cat 1 .
+If the terminal cannot underline, underlining is ignored.
+.Pp
+The following options are available:
+.Bl -tag -width Ds
+.It Fl i
+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
+.Xr nroff
+output stream on a crt-terminal.
+.It Fl t Ar terminal
+Overrides the terminal type specified in the environment with
+.Ar terminal .
+.El
+.Sh ENVIRONMENT
+The following environment variable is used:
+.Bl -tag -width TERM
+.It Ev TERM
+The
+.Ev TERM
+variable is used to relate a tty device
+with its device capability description (see
+.Xr termcap 5 ) .
+.Ev TERM
+is set at login time, either by the default terminal type
+specified in
+.Pa /etc/ttys
+or as set during the login process by the user in their
+.Pa login
+file (see
+.Xr setenv 1 ) . 
+.El
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr man 1 ,
+.Xr nroff 1 ,
+.Xr colcrt 1
+.Sh BUGS
+.Xr 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 HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+command appeared in
+.Bx 3.0 .
