                     25: reads the named files (or standard input if none are given)
                     26: and translates occurrences of underscores to the sequence
                     27: which indicates underlining for the terminal in use, as specified
                     28: by the environment variable
                     29: TERM.

                     31: .B \-t
                     32: option overrides the terminal kind specified in the environment.
                     33: The file
                     34: .I /etc/termcap
                     35: is read to determine the appropriate sequences for underlining.
                     36: If the terminal is incapable of underlining, but is capable of
                     37: a standout mode then that is used instead.
                     38: If the terminal can overstrike,

                     42: .IR cat (1).
                     43: If the terminal cannot underline, underlining is ignored.
