139 \&\fBrxvt-unicode\fR, version \fB@@RXVT_VERSION@@\fR, is a colour vt102 terminal
140 emulator intended as an \fIxterm\fR(1) replacement for users who do not
141 require features such as Tektronix 4014 emulation and toolkit-style
142 configurability. As a result, \fBrxvt-unicode\fR uses much less swap space \*(--
143 a significant advantage on a machine serving many X sessions.

149 See @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) (try \f(CW\*(C`man 7 @@RXVT_NAME@@\*(C'\fR) for a list of
150 frequently asked questions and answer to them and some common
151 problems. That document is also accessible on the World-Wide-Web at

153 .SH "RXVT-UNICODE VS. RXVT"
154 .IX Header "RXVT-UNICODE VS. RXVT"
155 Unlike the original rxvt, \fBrxvt-unicode\fR stores all text in Unicode
156 internally. That means it can store and display most scripts in the
157 world. Being a terminal emulator, however, some things are very difficult,
158 especially cursive scripts such as arabic, vertically written scripts
159 like mongolian or scripts requiring extremely complex combining rules,
160 like tibetan or devanagari. Don't expect pretty output when using these
161 scripts. Most other scripts, latin, cyrillic, kanji, thai etc. should work
162 fine, though. A somewhat difficult case are right-to-left scripts, such
163 as hebrew: \fBrxvt-unicode\fR adopts the view that bidirectional algorithms
164 belong in the application, not the terminal emulator (too many things \*(--
165 such as cursor-movement while editing \*(-- break otherwise), but that might
166 change.
167 .PP
168 If you are looking for a terminal that supports more exotic scripts, let
169 me recommend \f(CW\*(C`mlterm\*(C'\fR, which is a very user friendly, lean and clean
170 terminal emulator. In fact, the reason rxvt-unicode was born was solely
171 because the author couldn't get \f(CW\*(C`mlterm\*(C'\fR to use one font for latin1 and
172 another for japanese.
173 .PP
174 Therefore another design rationale was the use of multiple fonts to
175 display characters: The idea of a single unicode font which many other
176 programs force onto its users never made sense to me: You should be able
177 to choose any font for any script freely.
178 .PP
179 Apart from that, rxvt-unicode is also much better internationalised than
180 its predecessor, supports things such as \s-1XFT\s0 and \s-1ISO\s0 14755 that are handy
181 in i18n\-environments, is faster, and has a lot bugs less than the original
182 rxvt. This all in addition to dozens of other small improvements.
183 .PP
184 It is still faithfully following the original rxvt idea of being lean
185 and nice on resources: for example, you can still configure rxvt-unicode
186 without most of its features to get a lean binary. It also comes with
187 a client/daemon pair that lets you open any number of terminal windows
188 from within a single process, which makes startup time very fast and
189 drastically reduces memory usage. See @@RXVT_NAME@@d(1) (daemon) and
190 @@RXVT_NAME@@c(1) (client).
191 .PP
192 It also makes technical information about escape sequences (which have
193 been extended) more accessible: see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for technical
194 reference documentation (escape sequences etc.).
195 .SH "OPTIONS"
196 .IX Header "OPTIONS"
197 The \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@\fR options (mostly a subset of \fIxterm\fR's) are listed
198 below. In keeping with the smaller-is-better philosophy, options may be
199 eliminated or default values chosen at compile-time, so options and
200 defaults listed may not accurately reflect the version installed on
201 your system. `@@RXVT_NAME@@ \-h' gives a list of major compile-time options on
202 the \fIOptions\fR line. Option descriptions may be prefixed with which
203 compile option each is dependent upon. e.g. `Compile \fI\s-1XIM\s0\fR:' requires
204 \&\fI\s-1XIM\s0\fR on the \fIOptions\fR line. Note: `@@RXVT_NAME@@ \-help' gives a list of all
205 command-line options compiled into your version.
206 .PP
207 Note that \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@\fR permits the resource name to be used as a
208 long-option (\-\-/++ option) so the potential command-line options are
209 far greater than those listed. For example: `@@RXVT_NAME@@ \-\-loginShell \-\-color1
210 Orange'.

543 .Sp
544 Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
545 shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it
546 quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
547 create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
548 .Sp
549 The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
550 .Sp
551 It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
552 descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
553 can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
554 terminal. This works regardless of whether the \f(CW\*(C`\-embed\*(C'\fR option was used or
555 not.
556 .Sp
557 Here is a short Gtk2\-perl snippet that illustrates how this option can be
558 used (a longer example is in \fIdoc/embed\fR):
559 .Sp
560 .Vb 5

569 Tells @@RXVT_NAME@@ \s-1NOT\s0 to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty

571 useful if you want to drive @@RXVT_NAME@@ as a generic terminal emulator
572 without having to run a program within it.
573 .Sp
574 If this switch is given, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not create any utmp/wtmp
575 entries and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions \- you have to do that
576 yourself if you want that.
577 .Sp
578 As an extremely special case, specifying \f(CW\*(C`\-1\*(C'\fR will completely suppress
579 pty/tty operations, which is probably only useful in conjunction with some
580 perl extension that manages the terminal.
581 .Sp

622 Note that when reading X resources, \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@\fR recognizes two class
623 names: \fBRxvt\fR and \fBURxvt\fR. The class name \fBRxvt\fR allows resources
624 common to both \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@\fR and the original \fIrxvt\fR to be easily
625 configured, while the class name \fBURxvt\fR allows resources unique to
626 \&\fB@@RXVT_NAME@@\fR, to be shared between different \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@\fR
627 configurations. If no resources are specified, suitable defaults will
628 be used. Command-line arguments can be used to override resource

830 Select the fonts to be used. This is a comma separated list of font names
831 that are checked in order when trying to find glyphs for characters. The
832 first font defines the cell size for characters; other fonts might be
833 smaller, but not (in general) larger. A (hopefully) reasonable default
834 font list is always appended to it; option \fB\-fn\fR.
835 .Sp
836 Each font can either be a standard X11 core font (\s-1XLFD\s0) name, with
837 optional prefix \f(CW\*(C`x:\*(C'\fR or a Xft font (Compile \fIxft\fR), prefixed with \f(CW\*(C`xft:\*(C'\fR.
838 .Sp
839 In addition, each font can be prefixed with additional hints and
840 specifications enclosed in square brackets (\f(CW\*(C`[]\*(C'\fR). The only available
841 hint currently is \f(CW\*(C`codeset=codeset\-name\*(C'\fR, and this is only used for Xft
842 fonts.

855 the iso8859\-1 version of the second font), which is the base font (because
856 it is named first) and thus defines the character cell grid to be 9 pixels
857 wide and 15 pixels high.
858 .Sp
859 The second font is just used to add additional unicode characters not in
860 the base font, likewise the third, which is unfortunately non-bold, but
861 the bold version of the font does contain fewer characters, so this is a
862 useful supplement.
863 .Sp
864 The third font is an Xft font with aliasing turned off, and the characters
865 are limited to the \fB\s-1JIS\s0 0208\fR codeset (i.e. japanese kanji). The font
866 contains other characters, but we are not interested in them.

1523 brackets, i.e. \f(CW\*(C`[percent]\*(C'\fR, where \f(CW\*(C`percent\*(C'\fR is a decimal percentage
1524 (0\-100) that specifies the opacity of the colour, where \f(CW0\fR is completely
1525 transparent and \f(CW100\fR is completely opaque. For example, \f(CW\*(C`[50]red\*(C'\fR is a
1526 half-transparent red, while \f(CW\*(C`[95]#00ff00\*(C'\fR is an almost opaque green. This
1527 is the recommended format to specify transparency values, and works with
1528 all ways to specify a colour.

1530 For complete control, rxvt-unicode also supports
1531 \&\f(CW\*(C`rgba:rrrr/gggg/bbbb/aaaa\*(C'\fR (exactly four hex digits/component) colour
1532 specifications, where the additional \f(CW\*(C`aaaa\*(C'\fR component specifies opacity
1533 (alpha) values. The minimum value of \f(CW0000\fR is completely transparent,
1534 while \f(CW\*(C`ffff\*(C'\fR is completely opaque). The two example colours from
1535 earlier could also be specified as \f(CW\*(C`rgba:ff00/0000/0000/8000\*(C'\fR and

1555 colour will always behave as if it were completely transparent (so the

1557 other colours will either be transparent as specified (the background
1558 image will show through) on servers supporting the \s-1RENDER\s0 extension, or
