307 | *WM_COMMAND* in some window managers. |
319 | -embed *windowid* |
|
|
320 | Tells rxvt to embed it's windows into an already-existing window, |
|
|
321 | which enables applications to easily embed a terminal. |
|
|
322 | |
|
|
323 | Right now, rxvt will first unmap/map the specified window, so it |
|
|
324 | shouldn't be a top-level window. rxvt will also reconfigure it quite |
|
|
325 | a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to |
|
|
326 | create an extra subwindow for rxvt and leave it alone. |
|
|
327 | |
|
|
328 | The window will not be destroyed when rxvt exits. |
|
|
329 | |
|
|
330 | It might be useful to know that rxvt will not close file descriptors |
|
|
331 | passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you can use |
|
|
332 | file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the |
|
|
333 | terminal. This works regardless of wether the "-embed" option was |
|
|
334 | used or not. |
|
|
335 | |
|
|
336 | Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option |
|
|
337 | can be used (a longer example is in doc/embed): |
|
|
338 | |
|
|
339 | my $rxvt = new Gtk2::DrawingArea; |
|
|
340 | $...->add ($rxvt); # important to add it somewhere first |
|
|
341 | $rxvt->realize; # now it can be realized |
|
|
342 | my $xid = $rxvt->window->get_xid; |
|
|
343 | |
|
|
344 | system "rxvt -embed $xid &"; |
|
|
345 | |
|
|
346 | -pty-fd *fileno* |
|
|
347 | Tells rxvt NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty pair |
|
|
348 | but instead use the given filehandle as the tty master. This is |
|
|
349 | useful if you want to drive rxvt as a generic terminal emulator |
|
|
350 | without having to run a program within it. |
|
|
351 | |
|
|
352 | If this switch is given, rxvt will not create any utmp/wtmp entries |
|
|
353 | and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that |
|
|
354 | yourself if you want that. |
|
|
355 | |
|
|
356 | Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be |
|
|
357 | used (a longer example is in doc/pty-fd): |
|
|
358 | |
|
|
359 | use IO::Pty; |
|
|
360 | use Fcntl; |
|
|
361 | |
|
|
362 | my $pty = new IO::Pty; |
|
|
363 | fcntl $pty, F_SETFD, 0; # clear close-on-exec |
|
|
364 | |
|
|
365 | system "rxvt -pty-fd " . (fileno $pty) . "&"; |
|
|
366 | |
|
|
367 | # now communicate with rxvt |
|
|
368 | my $slave = $pty->slave; |
|
|

887 | ENVIRONMENT |
1000 | ENVIRONMENT |
888 | rxvt sets the environment variables TERM, COLORTERM and COLORFGBG. The |
1001 | rxvt sets and/or uses the following environment variables: |
889 | environment variable WINDOWID is set to the X window id number of the |
1002 | |
890 | rxvt window and it also uses and sets the environment variable DISPLAY |
1003 | TERM |
891 | to specify which display terminal to use. rxvt uses the environment |
1004 | Normally set to "rxvt-unicode", unless overwritten at configure |
892 | variables RXVTPATH and PATH to find XPM files. |
1005 | time, via resources or on the commandline. |
|
|
1006 | |
|
|
1007 | COLORTERM |
|
|
1008 | Either "rxvt", "rxvt-xpm", depending on wether rxvt was compiled |
|
|
1009 | with XPM support, and optionally with the added extension "-mono" to |
|
|
1010 | indicate that rxvt-unicode runs on a monochrome screen. |
|
|
1011 | |
|
|
1012 | COLORFGBG |
|
|
1013 | Set to a string of the form "fg;bg" or "fg;xpm;bg", where "fg" is |
|
|
1014 | the colour code used as default foreground/text colour (or the |
|
|
1015 | string "default" to indicate that the default-colour escape sequence |
|
|
1016 | is to be used), "bg" is the colour code used as default background |
|
|
1017 | colour (or the string "default"), and "xpm" is the string "default" |
|
|
1018 | if rxvt was compiled with XPM support. Libraries like "ncurses" and |
|
|
1019 | "slang" can (and do) use this information to optimize screen output. |
|
|
1020 | |
|
|
1021 | WINDOWID |
|
|
1022 | Set to the (decimal) X Window ID of the rxvt window (the toplevel |
|
|
1023 | window, which usually has subwindows for the scrollbar, the terminal |
|
|
1024 | window and so on). |
|
|
1025 | |
|
|
1026 | TERMINFO |
|
|
1027 | Set to the terminfo directory iff rxvt was configured with |
|
|
1028 | "--with-terminfo=PATH". |
|
|
1029 | |
|
|
1030 | DISPLAY |
|
|
1031 | Used by rxvt to connect to the display and set to the correct |
|
|
1032 | display in it's child processes. |
|
|
1033 | |
|
|
1034 | SHELL |
|
|
1035 | The shell to be used for command execution, defaults to "/bin/sh". |
|
|
1036 | |
|
|
1037 | RXVTPATH |
|
|
1038 | The path where rxvt looks for support files such as menu and xpm |
|
|
1039 | files. |
|
|
1040 | |
|
|
1041 | PATH |

|
1042 | Used in the same way as "RXVTPATH". |
|
|
1043 | |
|
|
1044 | RXVT_SOCKET |
|

1045 | The unix domain socket path used by rxvtc(1) and rxvtd(1). |
|

1046 | |
|
|
1047 | Default "$HOME/.rxvt-unicode-<nodename". |
|
|
1048 | |
|
|
1049 | HOME |
|
|
1050 | Used to locate the default directory for the unix domain socket for |
|
|
1051 | daemon communications and to locate various resource files (such as |
|
|
1052 | ".Xdefaults") |
|
|
1053 | |
|
|
1054 | XAPPLRESDIR |
|
|
1055 | Directory where various X resource files are being located. |
|
|
1056 | |
|
|
1057 | XENVIRONMENT |
|
|
1058 | If set and accessible, gives the name of a X resource file to be |
