<h1><a name="synopsis">SYNOPSIS</a></h1>
<p><strong>rxvt</strong> [options] [-e command [ args ]]</p>
<p>
</p>
<hr />
<h1><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></h1>
<p><strong>rxvt-unicode</strong>, version <strong></strong>, is a colour vt102 terminal
emulator intended as an <em>xterm</em>(1) replacement for users who do not
require features such as Tektronix 4014 emulation and toolkit-style
configurability. As a result, <strong>rxvt-unicode</strong> uses much less swap space --
a significant advantage on a machine serving many X sessions.</p>
<p>
</p>
<hr />
<h1><a name="frequently_asked_questions">FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS</a></h1>
<p>See <code>rxvt(7)</code> (try <code>man 7 rxvt</code>) for a list of
frequently asked questions and answer to them and some common
problems. That document is also accessible on the World-Wide-Web at
<a href="http://cvs.schmorp.de/browse/*checkout*/rxvt-unicode/doc/rxvt.7.html">http://cvs.schmorp.de/browse/*checkout*/rxvt-unicode/doc/rxvt.7.html</a>.</p>
<p>
</p>
<hr />
<h1><a name="rxvtunicode_vs__rxvt">RXVT-UNICODE VS. RXVT</a></h1>
<p>Unlike the original rxvt, <strong>rxvt-unicode</strong> stores all text in Unicode
internally. That means it can store and display most scripts in the
world. Being a terminal emulator, however, some things are very difficult,
especially cursive scripts such as arabic, vertically written scripts
like mongolian or scripts requiring extremely complex combining rules,
like tibetan or devenagari. Don't expect pretty output when using these
scripts. Most other scripts, latin, cyrillic, kanji, thai etc. should work
fine, though. A somewhat difficult case are left-to-right scripts, such
as hebrew: <strong>rxvt-unicode</strong> adopts the view that bidirectional algorithms
belong into the application, not the terminal emulator (too many things --
such as cursor-movement while editing -- break otherwise), but that might
change.</p>
<p>If you are looking for a terminal that supports more exotic scripts, let
me recommend <code>mlterm</code>, which is a very userfriendly, lean and clean
terminal emulator. In fact, the reason rxvt-unicode was born was solely
because the author couldn't get <code>mlterm</code> to use one font for latin1 and
another for japanese.</p>
<p>Therefore another design rationale was the use of multiple fonts to
display characters: The idea of a single unicode font which many other
programs force onto it's users never made sense to me: You should be able
to choose any font for any script freely.</p>
<p>Apart from that, rxvt-unicode is also much better internationalised than
it's predecessor, supports things such as XFT and ISO 14755 that are handy
in i18n-environments, is faster, and has a lot less bugs than the original
rxvt. This all in addition to dozens of other small improvements.</p>
<p>It is still faithfully following the original rxvt idea of being lean
and nice on resources: for example, you can still configure rxvt-unicode
without most of it's features to get a lean binary. It also comes with
a client/daemon pair that lets you open any number of terminal windows
from within a single process, which makes startup time very fast and
drastically reduces memory usage. See <code>rxvtd(1)</code> (daemon) and
<code>rxvtc(1)</code> (client).</p>
<p>It also makes technical information about escape sequences (which have
been extended) easier accessible: see <code>rxvt(7)</code> for technical
reference documentation (escape sequences etc.).</p>

<h1><a name="options">OPTIONS</a></h1>
<p>The <strong>rxvt</strong> options (mostly a subset of <em>xterm</em>'s) are listed
below. In keeping with the smaller-is-better philosophy, options may be
eliminated or default values chosen at compile-time, so options and
defaults listed may not accurately reflect the version installed on
your system. `rxvt -h' gives a list of major compile-time options on
the <em>Options</em> line. Option descriptions may be prefixed with which
compile option each is dependent upon. e.g. `Compile <em>XIM</em>:' requires
<em>XIM</em> on the <em>Options</em> line. Note: `rxvt -help' gives a list of all
command-line options compiled into your version.</p>
<p>Note that <strong>rxvt</strong> permits the resource name to be used as a
long-option (--/++ option) so the potential command-line options are
far greater than those listed. For example: `rxvt --loginShell --color1
Orange'.</p>
<p>The following options are available:</p>

<h1><a name="resources__available_also_as_longoptions_">RESOURCES (available also as long-options)</a></h1>
<p>Note: `rxvt --help' gives a list of all resources (long
options) compiled into your version.</p>
<p>There are two different methods that rxvt can use to get the
Xresource data: using the X libraries (Xrm*-functions) or internal
Xresources reader (<strong>~/.Xdefaults</strong>). For the first method (ie.
<strong>rxvt -h</strong> lists <strong>XGetDefaults</strong>), you can set and change the
resources using X11 tools like <strong>xrdb</strong>. Many distribution do also load
settings from the <strong>~/.Xresources</strong> file when X starts. rxvt
will consult the following files/resources in order, with later settings
overwriting earlier ones:</p>
<pre>
  1. system-wide app-defaults file, either locale-dependent OR global
  2. app-defaults file in $XAPPLRESDIR
  3. RESOURCE_MANAGER property on root-window OR $HOME/.Xdefaults
  4. SCREEN_RESOURCES for the current screen
  5. $XENVIRONMENT file OR $HOME/.Xdefaults-&lt;nodename&gt;</pre>
<p>If compiled with internal Xresources support (i.e. <strong>rxvt -h</strong>
lists <strong>.Xdefaults</strong>) then <strong>rxvt</strong> accepts application defaults
set in XAPPLOADDIR/URxvt (compile-time defined: usually
<strong>/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/URxvt</strong>) and resources set in
<strong>~/.Xdefaults</strong>, or <strong>~/.Xresources</strong> if <strong>~/.Xdefaults</strong> does not exist.
Note that when reading X resources, <strong>rxvt</strong> recognizes two
class names: <strong>XTerm</strong> and <strong>URxvt</strong>. The class name <strong>Rxvt</strong> allows
resources common to both <strong>rxvt</strong> and the original <em>rxvt</em> to be
easily configured, while the class name <strong>URxvt</strong> allows resources
unique to <strong>rxvt</strong>, notably colours and key-handling, to be
shared between different <strong>rxvt</strong> configurations. If no
resources are specified, suitable defaults will be used. Command-line
arguments can be used to override resource settings. The following
resources are allowed:</p>
<dl>
<dt><strong><a name="item_geometry_3a_geom"><strong>geometry:</strong> <em>geom</em></a></strong><br />

whatever modifier the NumLock key, Meta/Alt keys or ISO Level3 Shift/AltGr
keys are being mapped. <strong>AppKeypad</strong> is a synthetic modifier mapped to the
current application keymap mode state.</p>
</dd>
<dd>
<p>The spellings of <em>key</em> can be obtained by using <strong>xev</strong>(1) command or
searching keysym macros from <strong>/usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h</strong> and
omitting the prefix <strong>XK_</strong>. Alternatively you can specify <em>key</em> by its hex
keysym value (<strong>0x0000 - 0xFFFF</strong>). Note that the lookup of <em>sym</em>s is not
performed in an exact manner; however, the closest match is assured.</p>
</dd>
<dd>
<p><em>string</em> may contain escape values (<code>\a</code>: bell, <code>\b</code>: backspace,
<code>\e</code>, <code>\E</code>: escape, <code>\n</code>: newline, <code>\r</code>: carriage return, <code>\t</code>: tab,
<code>\000</code>: octal number) or verbatim control characters (<code>^?</code>: delete,
<code>^@</code>: null, <code>^A</code> ...) and may be enclosed with double quotes so that it
can start or end with whitespace.</p>
</dd>
<dd>
<p>Please note that you need to double the <code>\</code> when using
<code>--enable-xgetdefault</code>, as X itself does it's own de-escaping (you can
use <code>\033</code> instead of <code>\e</code> (and so on), which will work with both Xt and
rxvt's own processing).</p>
</dd>
<dd>
<p>You can define a range of keysyms in one shot by providing a <em>string</em>
with pattern <strong>list/PREFIX/MIDDLE/SUFFIX</strong>, where the delimeter `/'
should be a character not used by the strings.</p>
</dd>
<dd>
<p>Its usage can be demonstrated by an example:</p>
</dd>
<dd>
<pre>
  URxvt.keysym.M-C-0x61:    list|\033&lt;M-C-|abc|&gt;</pre>
</dd>
<dd>
<p>The above line is equivalent to the following three lines:</p>
</dd>
<dd>
<pre>
  URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x61:    \033&lt;M-C-a&gt;
  URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x62:    \033&lt;M-C-b&gt;
  URxvt.keysym.Meta-Control-0x63:    \033&lt;M-C-c&gt;</pre>
</dd>
<dd>
<p>If <em>string</em> takes the form of <code>command:STRING</code>, the specified <strong>STRING</strong>
is interpreted and executed as rxvt's control sequence. For
example the following means ``change the current locale to <code>zh_CN.GBK</code>
when Control-Meta-c is being pressed'':</p>
</dd>
<dd>
<pre>
  URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007</pre>
</dd>
<dd>
<p>The following example will map Control-Meta-1 and Control-Meta-2 to
the fonts <code>suxuseuro</code> and <code>9x15bold</code>, so you can have some limited
font-switching at runtime:</p>
</dd>
<dd>
<pre>
  URxvt.keysym.M-C-1: command:\033]50;suxuseuro\007
  URxvt.keysym.M-C-2: command:\033]50;9x15bold\007</pre>
</dd>
<dd>
<p>Other things are possible, e.g. resizing (see <code>rxvt(7)</code> for more
info):</p>
</dd>
<dd>
<pre>
  URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t
  URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t</pre>

<h1><a name="the_scrollbar">THE SCROLLBAR</a></h1>
<p>Lines of text that scroll off the top of the <strong>rxvt</strong> window
(resource: <strong>saveLines</strong>) and can be scrolled back using the scrollbar
or by keystrokes. The normal <strong>rxvt</strong> scrollbar has arrows and
its behaviour is fairly intuitive. The <strong>xterm-scrollbar</strong> is without
arrows and its behaviour mimics that of <em>xterm</em></p>
<p>Scroll down with <strong>Button1</strong> (<strong>xterm-scrollbar</strong>) or <strong>Shift-Next</strong>.
Scroll up with <strong>Button3</strong> (<strong>xterm-scrollbar</strong>) or <strong>Shift-Prior</strong>.
Continuous scroll with <strong>Button2</strong>.</p>
<p>
</p>
<hr />
<h1><a name="mouse_reporting">MOUSE REPORTING</a></h1>
<p>To temporarily override mouse reporting, for either the scrollbar or
the normal text selection/insertion, hold either the Shift or the Meta
(Alt) key while performing the desired mouse action.</p>
<p>If mouse reporting mode is active, the normal scrollbar actions are
disabled -- on the assumption that we are using a fullscreen
application. Instead, pressing Button1 and Button3 sends <strong>ESC [ 6 ~</strong>
(Next) and <strong>ESC [ 5 ~</strong> (Prior), respectively. Similarly, clicking on the
up and down arrows sends <strong>ESC [ A</strong> (Up) and <strong>ESC [ B</strong> (Down),
respectively.</p>

<h1><a name="changing_fonts">CHANGING FONTS</a></h1>
<p>Changing fonts (or font sizes, respectively) via the keypad is not yet
supported in rxvt-unicode. Bug me if you need this.</p>
<p>You can, however, switch fonts at runtime using escape sequences (and
therefore using the menubar), e.g.:</p>
<pre>
   printf '\e]701;%s\007' &quot;9x15bold,xft:Kochi Gothic&quot;</pre>
<p>rxvt-unicode will automatically re-apply these fonts to the output so far.</p>
<p>
</p>
<hr />
<h1><a name="iso_14755_support">ISO 14755 SUPPORT</a></h1>
<p>ISO 14755 is a standard for entering and viewing unicode characters
and character codes using the keyboard. It consists of 4 parts. The
first part is available rxvt-unicode has been compiled with
<code>--enable-frills</code>, the rest is available when rxvt-unicode was compiled
with <code>--enable-iso14755</code>.</p>
<ul>
<li><strong><a name="item_5_2e1_3a_basic_method">5.1: Basic method</a></strong><br />
</li>
This allows you to enter unicode characters using their hexcode.
<p>Start by pressing and holding both <code>Control</code> and <code>Shift</code>, then enter
hex-digits (between one and six). Releasing <code>Control</code> and <code>Shift</code> will
commit the character as if it were typed directly. While holding down
<code>Control</code> and <code>Shift</code> you can also enter multiple characters by pressing
<code>Space</code>, which will commit the current character and lets you start a new
one.</p>
<p>As an example of use, imagine a business card with a japanese e-mail
address, which you cannot type. Fortunately, the card has the e-mail
address printed as hexcodes, e.g. <code>671d 65e5</code>. You can enter this easily
by pressing <code>Control</code> and <code>Shift</code>, followed by <code>6-7-1-D-SPACE-6-5-E-5</code>,
followed by releasing the modifier keys.</p>
<p></p>
<li><strong><a name="item_5_2e2_3a_keyboard_symbols_entry_method">5.2: Keyboard symbols entry method</a></strong><br />
</li>
This mode lets you input characters representing the keycap symbols of
your keyboard, if representable in the current locale encoding.
<p>Start by pressing <code>Control</code> and <code>Shift</code> together, then releasing
them. The next special key (cursor keys, home etc.) you enter will not
invoke it's usual function but instead will insert the corresponding
keycap symbol. The symbol will only be entered when the key has been
released, otherwise pressing e.g. <code>Shift</code> would enter the symbol for
<code>ISO Level 2 Switch</code>, although your intention might have been to enter a
reverse tab (Shift-Tab).</p>
<p></p>
<li><strong><a name="item_5_2e3_3a_screen_2dselection_entry_method">5.3: Screen-selection entry method</a></strong><br />
</li>
While this is implemented already (it's basically the selection
mechanism), it could be extended by displaying a unicode character map.
<p></p>
<li><strong><a name="item_5_2e4_3a_feedback_method_for_identifying_displayed">5.4: Feedback method for identifying displayed characters for later input</a></strong><br />
</li>
This method lets you display the unicode character code associated with
characters already displayed.
<p>You enter this mode by holding down <code>Control</code> and <code>Shift</code> together, then
pressing and holding the left mouse button and moving around. The unicode
hex <code>code(s)</code> (it might be a combining character) of the character under the
pointer is displayed until you release <code>Control</code> and <code>Shift</code>.</p>
<p>In addition to the hex codes it will display the font used to draw this
character - due to implementation reasons, characters combined with
combining characters, line drawing characters and unknown characters will
always be drawn using the built-in support font.</p>
<p></p></ul>
<p>With respect to conformance, rxvt-unicode is supposed to be compliant to
both scenario A and B of ISO 14755, including part 5.2.</p>
<p>
</p>
<hr />
<h1><a name="login_stamp">LOGIN STAMP</a></h1>
<p><strong>rxvt</strong> tries to write an entry into the <em>utmp</em>(5) file so that
it can be seen via the <em>who(1)</em> command, and can accept messages.  To
allow this feature, <strong>rxvt</strong> may need to be installed setuid root
on some systems or setgid to root or to some other group on others.</p>
<p>
</p>
<hr />
<h1><a name="colors_and_graphics">COLORS AND GRAPHICS</a></h1>
<p>In addition to the default foreground and background colours,
<strong>rxvt</strong> can display up to 16 colours (8 ANSI colours plus
high-intensity bold/blink versions of the same). Here is a list of the
colours with their <strong>rgb.txt</strong> names.</p>
<table>
<tr><td>color0</td><td>(black)</td><td>= Black</td></tr>
<tr><td>color1</td><td>(red)</td><td>= Red3</td></tr>
<tr><td>color2</td><td>(green)</td><td>= Green3</td></tr>
<tr><td>color3</td><td>(yellow)</td><td>= Yellow3</td></tr>
<tr><td>color4</td><td>(blue)</td><td>= Blue3</td></tr>
<tr><td>color5</td><td>(magenta)</td><td>= Magenta3</td></tr>
<tr><td>color6</td><td>(cyan)</td><td>= Cyan3</td></tr>
<tr><td>color7</td><td>(white)</td><td>= AntiqueWhite</td></tr>
<tr><td>color8</td><td>(bright black)</td><td>= Grey25</td></tr>
<tr><td>color9</td><td>(bright red)</td><td>= Red</td></tr>
<tr><td>color10</td><td>(bright green)</td><td>= Green</td></tr>
<tr><td>color11</td><td>(bright yellow)</td><td>= Yellow</td></tr>
<tr><td>color12</td><td>(bright blue)</td><td>= Blue</td></tr>
<tr><td>color13</td><td>(bright magenta)</td><td>= Magenta</td></tr>
<tr><td>color14</td><td>(bright cyan)</td><td>= Cyan</td></tr>
<tr><td>color15</td><td>(bright white)</td><td>= White</td></tr>
<tr><td>foreground</td><td></td><td>= Black</td></tr>
<tr><td>background</td><td></td><td>= White</td></tr>
</table><p>It is also possible to specify the colour values of <strong>foreground</strong>,
<strong>background</strong>, <strong>cursorColor</strong>, <strong>cursorColor2</strong>, <strong>colorBD</strong>, <strong>colorUL</strong> as
a number 0-15, as a convenient shorthand to reference the colour name of
color0-color15.</p>
<p>Note that <strong>-rv</strong> (<strong>``reverseVideo: True''</strong>) simulates reverse video by
always swapping the foreground/background colours. This is in contrast to
<em>xterm</em>(1) where the colours are only swapped if they have not otherwise
been specified. For example,</p>
<dl>
<dt><strong><a name="item_rxvt__2dfg_black__2dbg_white__2drv"><strong>rxvt -fg Black -bg White -rv</strong></a></strong><br />
</dt>
<dd>
would yield White on Black, while on <em>xterm</em>(1) it would yield Black
on White.
</dd>
<p></p></dl>
<p>
</p>
<hr />
<h1><a name="environment">ENVIRONMENT</a></h1>
<p><strong>rxvt</strong> sets and/or uses the following environment variables:</p>

<dt><strong><a name="item_colorterm"><strong>COLORTERM</strong></a></strong><br />
</dt>
<dd>
Either <code>rxvt</code>, <code>rxvt-xpm</code>, depending on wether rxvt was

the colour code used as default foreground/text colour (or the string
<code>default</code> to indicate that the default-colour escape sequence is to be
used), <code>bg</code> is the colour code used as default background colour (or the
string <code>default</code>), and <code>xpm</code> is the string <code>default</code> if rxvt
was compiled with XPM support. Libraries like <code>ncurses</code> and <code>slang</code> can
(and do) use this information to optimize screen output.
</dd>
<p></p>
<dt><strong><a name="item_windowid"><strong>WINDOWID</strong></a></strong><br />
</dt>
<dd>
Set to the (decimal) X Window ID of the rxvt window (the toplevel
