| 423 | If compiled with internal Xresources support (i.e. rxvt -h lists |
434 | Note that when reading X resources, rxvt recognizes two class names: |
| 424 | .Xdefaults) then rxvt accepts application defaults set in |
435 | Rxvt and URxvt. The class name Rxvt allows resources common to both rxvt |
| 425 | XAPPLOADDIR/URxvt (compile-time defined: usually |
436 | and the original *rxvt* to be easily configured, while the class name |
| 426 | /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/URxvt) and resources set in ~/.Xdefaults, or |
437 | URxvt allows resources unique to rxvt, to be shared between different |
| 427 | ~/.Xresources if ~/.Xdefaults does not exist. Note that when reading X |
|

| 428 | resources, rxvt recognizes two class names: XTerm and URxvt. The class |
