133 .SH "NAME"
134 rxvt\-unicode (ouR XVT, unicode) \- (a VT102 emulator for the X window system)
135 .SH "SYNOPSIS"
136 .IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
137 \&\fB@@RXVT_NAME@@\fR [options] [\-e command [ args ]]
138 .SH "DESCRIPTION"
139 .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
140 \&\fBrxvt-unicode\fR, version \fB@@RXVT_VERSION@@\fR, is a colour vt102 terminal
141 emulator intended as an \fIxterm\fR(1) replacement for users who do not
142 require features such as Tektronix 4014 emulation and toolkit-style
143 configurability. As a result, \fBrxvt-unicode\fR uses much less swap space \*(--
144 a significant advantage on a machine serving many X sessions.
145 .SH "FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS"
146 .IX Header "FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS"
147 See @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) (try \f(CW\*(C`man 7 @@RXVT_NAME@@\*(C'\fR) for a list of
148 frequently asked questions and answer to them and some common
149 problems. That document is also accessible on the World-Wide-Web at
150 <http://cvs.schmorp.de/browse/*checkout*/rxvt\-unicode/doc/rxvt.7.html>.
151 .SH "RXVT-UNICODE VS. RXVT"
152 .IX Header "RXVT-UNICODE VS. RXVT"
153 Unlike the original rxvt, \fBrxvt-unicode\fR stores all text in Unicode
154 internally. That means it can store and display most scripts in the
155 world. Being a terminal emulator, however, some things are very difficult,
156 especially cursive scripts such as arabic, vertically written scripts
157 like mongolian or scripts requiring extremely complex combining rules,
158 like tibetan or devenagari. Don't expect pretty output when using these
159 scripts. Most other scripts, latin, cyrillic, kanji, thai etc. should work
160 fine, though. A somewhat difficult case are left-to-right scripts, such
161 as hebrew: \fBrxvt-unicode\fR adopts the view that bidirectional algorithms
162 belong into the application, not the terminal emulator (too many things \*(--
163 such as cursor-movement while editing \*(-- break otherwise), but that might
164 change.
165 .PP
166 If you are looking for a terminal that supports more exotic scripts, let
167 me recommend \f(CW\*(C`mlterm\*(C'\fR, which is a very userfriendly, lean and clean
168 terminal emulator. In fact, the reason rxvt-unicode was born was solely
169 because the author couldn't get \f(CW\*(C`mlterm\*(C'\fR to use one font for latin1 and
170 another for japanese.
171 .PP
172 Therefore another design rationale was the use of multiple fonts to
173 display characters: The idea of a single unicode font which many other
174 programs force onto it's users never made sense to me: You should be able
175 to choose any font for any script freely.
176 .PP
177 Apart from that, rxvt-unicode is also much better internationalised than
178 it's predecessor, supports things such as \s-1XFT\s0 and \s-1ISO\s0 14755 that are handy
179 in i18n\-environments, is faster, and has a lot less bugs than the original
180 rxvt. This all in addition to dozens of other small improvements.
181 .PP
182 It is still faithfully following the original rxvt idea of being lean
183 and nice on resources: for example, you can still configure rxvt-unicode
184 without most of it's features to get a lean binary. It also comes with
185 a client/daemon pair that lets you open any number of terminal windows
186 from within a single process, which makes startup time very fast and
187 drastically reduces memory usage. See @@RXVT_NAME@@d(1) (daemon) and
188 @@RXVT_NAME@@c(1) (client).
189 .PP
190 It also makes technical information about escape sequences (which have
191 been extended) easier accessible: see @@RXVT_NAME@@(7) for technical
192 reference documentation (escape sequences etc.).
193 .SH "OPTIONS"
194 .IX Header "OPTIONS"
195 The \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@\fR options (mostly a subset of \fIxterm\fR's) are listed
196 below. In keeping with the smaller-is-better philosophy, options may be
197 eliminated or default values chosen at compile\-time, so options and
198 defaults listed may not accurately reflect the version installed on
199 your system. `@@RXVT_NAME@@ \-h' gives a list of major compile-time options on
200 the \fIOptions\fR line. Option descriptions may be prefixed with which
201 compile option each is dependent upon. e.g. `Compile \fI\s-1XIM\s0\fR:' requires
202 \&\fI\s-1XIM\s0\fR on the \fIOptions\fR line. Note: `@@RXVT_NAME@@ \-help' gives a list of all
203 command-line options compiled into your version.
204 .PP
205 Note that \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@\fR permits the resource name to be used as a
206 long-option (\-\-/++ option) so the potential command-line options are
207 far greater than those listed. For example: `@@RXVT_NAME@@ \-\-loginShell \-\-color1
208 Orange'.
209 .PP
210 The following options are available:

273 Select the fonts to be used. This is a comma separated list of font names

277 font list is always appended to it. See resource \fBfont\fR for more details.

279 In short, to specify an X11 core font, just specify it's name or prefix it
280 with \f(CW\*(C`x:\*(C'\fR. To specify an XFT\-font, you need to prefix it with \f(CW\*(C`xft:\*(C'\fR,

453 .Sp
454 Right now, @@RXVT_NAME@@ will first unmap/map the specified window, so it
455 shouldn't be a top-level window. @@RXVT_NAME@@ will also reconfigure it
456 quite a bit, so don't expect it to keep some specific state. It's best to
457 create an extra subwindow for @@RXVT_NAME@@ and leave it alone.
458 .Sp
459 The window will not be destroyed when @@RXVT_NAME@@ exits.
460 .Sp
461 It might be useful to know that @@RXVT_NAME@@ will not close file
462 descriptors passed to it (except for stdin/out/err, of course), so you
463 can use file descriptors to communicate with the programs within the
464 terminal. This works regardless of wether the \f(CW\*(C`\-embed\*(C'\fR option was used or
465 not.

515 Note: `@@RXVT_NAME@@ \-\-help' gives a list of all resources (long
516 options) compiled into your version.
517 .PP
518 There are two different methods that @@RXVT_NAME@@ can use to get the
519 Xresource data: using the X libraries (Xrm*\-functions) or internal
520 Xresources reader (\fB~/.Xdefaults\fR). For the first method (ie.
521 \&\fB@@RXVT_NAME@@ \-h\fR lists \fBXGetDefaults\fR), you can set and change the
522 resources using X11 tools like \fBxrdb\fR. Many distribution do also load
523 settings from the \fB~/.Xresources\fR file when X starts. @@RXVT_NAME@@
524 will consult the following files/resources in order, with later settings
525 overwriting earlier ones:
526 .PP
527 .Vb 5
528 \& 1. system-wide app-defaults file, either locale-dependent OR global
529 \& 2. app-defaults file in $XAPPLRESDIR
530 \& 3. RESOURCE_MANAGER property on root-window OR $HOME/.Xdefaults
531 \& 4. SCREEN_RESOURCES for the current screen
532 \& 5. $XENVIRONMENT file OR $HOME/.Xdefaults-<nodename>
533 .Ve
534 .PP
535 If compiled with internal Xresources support (i.e. \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@ \-h\fR
536 lists \fB.Xdefaults\fR) then \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@\fR accepts application defaults
537 set in XAPPLOADDIR/URxvt (compile\-time defined: usually
538 \&\fB/usr/lib/X11/app\-defaults/URxvt\fR) and resources set in
539 \&\fB~/.Xdefaults\fR, or \fB~/.Xresources\fR if \fB~/.Xdefaults\fR does not exist.
540 Note that when reading X resources, \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@\fR recognizes two
541 class names: \fBXTerm\fR and \fBURxvt\fR. The class name \fBRxvt\fR allows
542 resources common to both \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@\fR and the original \fIrxvt\fR to be
543 easily configured, while the class name \fBURxvt\fR allows resources
544 unique to \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@\fR, notably colours and key\-handling, to be
545 shared between different \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@\fR configurations. If no
546 resources are specified, suitable defaults will be used. Command-line
547 arguments can be used to override resource settings. The following
548 resources are allowed:
