NAME

bsfilt - a colcrt-like backspace filter  

SYNOPSIS

bsfilt [ - ] [ -U ] [ file ... ]  

DESCRIPTION

Bsfilt filters backspace sequences from the input file(s) (standard input if none) in an approximation of colcrt(1). Both the backspace and the character it returns to are removed, unless they form an underline sequence. Underline sequences are treated according to the settings of the - and -U options.  

OPTIONS

-
specifies that no underlining of any kind is to be propagated. Without this option or the -U option, bsfilt approximates underlining with minus signs (`-') in following lines.
-U
specifies that underlining with underscore (`_') and backspace (`', intended to look like a bullet, is reduced to `+'.
