                     19: reads the named files (or standard input if none are given)
                     20: and translates occurrences of underscores to the sequence
                     21: which indicates underlining for the terminal in use, as specified
                     22: by the environment variable
                     23: TERM.

                     28: .I /etc/termcap
                     29: is read to determine the appropriate sequences for underlining.
                     30: If the terminal is incapable of underlining, but is capable of
                     31: a standout mode then that is used instead.
                     32: If the terminal can overstrike,
                     33: or handles underlining automatically,

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