307 | *WM_COMMAND* in some window managers. |
327 | -embed *windowid* |
|
|
328 | Tells rxvt to embed it's windows into an already-existing window, |
|
|
329 | which enables applications to easily embed a terminal. |
|
|
330 | |
|
|
331 | Right now, rxvt will first unmap/map the specified window, so it |
|
|
332 | shouldn't be a top-level window. rxvt will also reconfigure it quite |
|
|
333 | a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to |
|
|
334 | create an extra subwindow for rxvt and leave it alone. |
|
|
335 | |
|
|
336 | The window will not be destroyed when rxvt exits. |
|
|
337 | |
|
|
338 | It might be useful to know that rxvt will not close file descriptors |
|
|
339 | passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you can use |
|
|
340 | file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the |
|
|
341 | terminal. This works regardless of wether the "-embed" option was |
|
|
342 | used or not. |
|
|
343 | |
|
|
344 | Here is a short Gtk2-perl snippet that illustrates how this option |
|
|
345 | can be used (a longer example is in doc/embed): |
|
|
346 | |
|
|
347 | my $rxvt = new Gtk2::Socket; |
|
|
348 | $rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub { |
|
|
349 | my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid; |
|
|
350 | system "rxvt -embed $xid &"; |
|
|
351 | }); |
|
|
352 | |
|
|
353 | -pty-fd *fileno* |
|
|
354 | Tells rxvt NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty pair |
|
|
355 | but instead use the given filehandle as the tty master. This is |
|
|
356 | useful if you want to drive rxvt as a generic terminal emulator |
|
|
357 | without having to run a program within it. |
|
|
358 | |
|
|
359 | If this switch is given, rxvt will not create any utmp/wtmp entries |
|
|
360 | and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that |
|
|
361 | yourself if you want that. |
|
|
362 | |
|
|
363 | Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be |
|
|
364 | used (a longer example is in doc/pty-fd): |
|
|
365 | |
|
|
366 | use IO::Pty; |
|
|
367 | use Fcntl; |
|
|
368 | |
|
|
369 | my $pty = new IO::Pty; |
|
|
370 | fcntl $pty, F_SETFD, 0; # clear close-on-exec |
|
|
371 | system "rxvt -pty-fd " . (fileno $pty) . "&"; |
|
|
372 | close $pty; |
|
|
373 | |
|
|
374 | # now communicate with rxvt |
|
|
375 | my $slave = $pty->slave; |
|
|
376 | while (<$slave>) { print $slave "got <$_>\n" } |

846 | If *string* takes the form of "command:STRING", the specified STRING |

847 | 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 |
848 | the following means "change the current locale to "zh_CN.GBK" when |

|
|
853 | Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key |
|
|
854 | mapping will match if at *at least* the specified identifiers are |
|
|
855 | being set, and no other key mappings with those and more bits are |
|
|
856 | being defined. That means that defining a key map for "a" will |
|
|
857 | automatically provide definitions for "Meta-a", "Shift-a" and so on, |
|
|
858 | unless some of those are defined mappings themselves. |
|
|
859 | |
|
|
860 | Unfortunately, this will override built-in key mappings. For example |
|
|
861 | if you overwrite the "Insert" key you will disable rxvt's |
|
|
862 | "Shift-Insert" mapping. To re-enable that, you can poke "holes" into |
|
|
863 | the user-defined keymap using the "builtin:" replacement: |
|
|
864 | |
|
|
865 | URxvt.keysym.Insert: <my insert key sequence> |
|
|
866 | URxvt.keysym.S-Insert: builtin: |
|
|
867 | |
|
|
868 | The first line defines a mapping for "Insert" and *any* combination |
|
|
869 | of modifiers. The second line re-establishes the default mapping for |
|
|
870 | "Shift-Insert". |
|
|
871 | |
|
|
872 | The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to |
|
|
873 | the fonts "suxuseuro" and "9x15bold", so you can have some limited |
|
|
874 | font-switching at runtime: |
|
|
875 | |
|
|
876 | URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007 |

1048 | time, via resources or on the commandline. |
|
|
1049 | |
|
|
1050 | COLORTERM |
|
|
1051 | Either "rxvt", "rxvt-xpm", depending on wether rxvt was compiled |
|
|
1052 | with XPM support, and optionally with the added extension "-mono" to |
|
|
1053 | indicate that rxvt-unicode runs on a monochrome screen. |
|
|
1054 | |
|
|
1055 | COLORFGBG |
|
|
1056 | Set to a string of the form "fg;bg" or "fg;xpm;bg", where "fg" is |
|
|
1057 | the colour code used as default foreground/text colour (or the |
|
|
1058 | string "default" to indicate that the default-colour escape sequence |
|
|
1059 | is to be used), "bg" is the colour code used as default background |
|
|
1060 | colour (or the string "default"), and "xpm" is the string "default" |
|
|
1061 | if rxvt was compiled with XPM support. Libraries like "ncurses" and |
|
|
1062 | "slang" can (and do) use this information to optimize screen output. |
|
|
1063 | |
|
|
1064 | WINDOWID |
|
|
1065 | Set to the (decimal) X Window ID of the rxvt window (the toplevel |
|
|
1066 | window, which usually has subwindows for the scrollbar, the terminal |
|
|
1067 | window and so on). |
|
|
1068 | |
|
|
1069 | TERMINFO |
|
|
1070 | Set to the terminfo directory iff rxvt was configured with |

|
|
1072 | |
|
|
1073 | DISPLAY |
