424 | Rxvt and URxvt. The class name Rxvt allows resources common to both rxvt |
| 390 | XAPPLOADDIR/URxvt (compile-time defined: usually |
425 | and the original *rxvt* to be easily configured, while the class name |
| 391 | /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/URxvt) and resources set in ~/.Xdefaults, or |

|
|
940 | Comma-separated list(s) of perl extension scripts (default: |
|
|
941 | "default") to use in this terminal instance; option -pe. |
|
|
942 | |
|
|
943 | Extension names can be prefixed with a "-" sign to prohibit using |
|
|
944 | them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions |
|
|
945 | loaded by default, or specified via the "perl-ext-common" resource. |
|
|
946 | For example, "default,-selection" will use all the default extension |
|
|
947 | except "selection". |
|
|
948 | |
|
|
949 | Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle |
|
|
950 | brackets (e.g. "searchable-scrollback<M-s>", which binds the hotkey |
|
|
951 | for searchable scorllback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same |
|
|
952 | extension multiple times with different arguments will pass multiple |
|
|
953 | arguments to the extension. |
|
|
954 | |
|
|
955 | Each extension is looked up in the library directories, loaded if |
|
|
956 | necessary, and bound to the current terminal instance. |
|
|
957 | |
|
|
958 | If both of these resources are the empty string, then the perl |
|
|
959 | interpreter will not be initialized. The idea behind two options is |
|
|
960 | that perl-ext-common will be used for extensions that should be |
|
|

|
|
962 | instances. |

|

972 | resource, rxvt will first look in these directories and then in |
|
