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::Socket; |
|
|
340 | $rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub { |
|
|
341 | my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid; |
|
|
342 | system "rxvt -embed $xid &"; |
|
|
343 | }); |
|
|
344 | |
|
|
345 | -pty-fd *fileno* |
|
|
346 | Tells rxvt NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty pair |
|
|
347 | but instead use the given filehandle as the tty master. This is |
|
|
348 | useful if you want to drive rxvt as a generic terminal emulator |
|
|
349 | without having to run a program within it. |
|
|
350 | |
|
|
351 | If this switch is given, rxvt will not create any utmp/wtmp entries |
|
|
352 | and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that |
|
|
353 | yourself if you want that. |
|
|
354 | |
|
|
355 | Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be |
|
|
356 | used (a longer example is in doc/pty-fd): |
|
|
357 | |
|
|
358 | use IO::Pty; |
|
|
359 | use Fcntl; |
|
|
360 | |
|
|
361 | my $pty = new IO::Pty; |
|
|
362 | fcntl $pty, F_SETFD, 0; # clear close-on-exec |
|
|
363 | system "rxvt -pty-fd " . (fileno $pty) . "&"; |
|
|
364 | close $pty; |
|
|
365 | |
|
|
366 | # now communicate with rxvt |
|
|
367 | my $slave = $pty->slave; |
|
|
368 | while (<$slave>) { print $slave "got <$_>\n" } |

735 | If *string* takes the form of "proto:STRING", the specified STRING |
832 | If *string* takes the form of "command:STRING", the specified STRING |
736 | is interpreted and executed as rxvt's control sequence. For example, |
833 | is interpreted and executed as rxvt's control sequence. For example |
737 | "proto:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007" means: change the current locale to |
834 | the following means "change the current locale to "zh_CN.GBK" when |
738 | "zh_CN.GBK". |
835 | Control-Meta-c is being pressed": |
|
|
836 | |

|
|
838 | |
|
|
839 | Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key |
|
|
840 | mapping will match if at *at least* the specified identifiers are |
|
|
841 | being set, and no other key mappings with those and more bits are |
|
|
842 | being defined. That means that defining a key map for "a" will |
|
|
843 | automatically provide definitions for "Meta-a", "Shift-a" and so on, |
|
|
844 | unless some of those are defined mappings themselves. |
|
|
845 | |
|
|
846 | Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example |
|
|
847 | if you overwrite the "Insert" key you will disable rxvt's |
|
|
848 | "Shift-Insert" mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into |
|
|
849 | the user-defined keymap using the "builtin:" replacement: |
|
|
850 | |
|
|
851 | URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence> |
|
|
852 | URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin: |
|
|
853 | |
|
|
854 | The first line defines a mapping for "Insert" and *any* combination |
|
|
855 | of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for |
|
|
856 | "Shift-Insert". |
|
|
857 | |
|
|
858 | The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to |
|
|
859 | the fonts "suxuseuro" and "9x15bold", so you can have some limited |
|
|
860 | font-switching at runtime: |
|
|
861 | |
|
|
862 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 |
|
|
863 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007 |
|
|
864 | |
|

865 | Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see rxvt(7) for more |
|
|
866 | info): |

1029 | ENVIRONMENT |
897 | rxvt sets the environment variables TERM, COLORTERM and COLORFGBG. The |
1030 | rxvt sets and/or uses the following environment variables: |
898 | environment variable WINDOWID is set to the X window id number of the |
1031 | |
899 | rxvt window and it also uses and sets the environment variable DISPLAY |
1032 | TERM |
900 | to specify which display terminal to use. rxvt uses the environment |
1033 | Normally set to "rxvt-unicode", unless overwritten at configure |
901 | variables RXVTPATH and PATH to find XPM files. |
1034 | time, via resources or on the commandline. |
|
|
1035 | |
|
|
1036 | COLORTERM |
|
|
1037 | Either "rxvt", "rxvt-xpm", depending on wether rxvt was compiled |
|
|
1038 | with XPM support, and optionally with the added extension "-mono" to |
|
|
1039 | indicate that rxvt-unicode runs on a monochrome screen. |
|
|
1040 | |
|
|
1041 | COLORFGBG |
|
|
1042 | Set to a string of the form "fg;bg" or "fg;xpm;bg", where "fg" is |
|
|
1043 | the colour code used as default foreground/text colour (or the |
|
|
1044 | string "default" to indicate that the default-colour escape sequence |
|
|
1045 | is to be used), "bg" is the colour code used as default background |
|
|
1046 | colour (or the string "default"), and "xpm" is the string "default" |
|
|
1047 | if rxvt was compiled with XPM support. Libraries like "ncurses" and |
|
|
1048 | "slang" can (and do) use this information to optimize screen output. |
|
|
1049 | |
|
|
1050 | WINDOWID |
|
|
1051 | Set to the (decimal) X Window ID of the rxvt window (the toplevel |
|
|
1052 | window, which usually has subwindows for the scrollbar, the terminal |
|
|
1053 | window and so on). |
|
|
1054 | |
|
|
1055 | TERMINFO |
|
|
1056 | Set to the terminfo directory iff rxvt was configured with |
|
|
1057 | "--with-terminfo=PATH". |
|
|
1058 | |
|
|
1059 | DISPLAY |
|
|
1060 | Used by rxvt to connect to the display and set to the correct |
|

|
|

|
|
1066 | RXVTPATH |
|
|
1067 | The path where rxvt looks for support files such as menu and xpm |

1079 | Used to locate the default directory for the unix domain socket for |
