 SYNOPSIS
     rxvt [options] [-e command [ args ]]
 DESCRIPTION
-    rxvt-unicode, version 6.2, is a colour vt102 terminal emulator intended
+    rxvt-unicode, version 7.0, is a colour vt102 terminal emulator intended
     as an *xterm*(1) replacement for users who do not require features such
     as Tektronix 4014 emulation and toolkit-style configurability. As a
     result, rxvt-unicode uses much less swap space -- a significant
     advantage on a machine serving many X sessions.
         See also the question "How does rxvt-unicode choose fonts?" in the
         FAQ section of rxvt(7).

         decorations; resource borderLess.
+    -sbg
+        Compile *frills*: Disable the usage of the built-in block
+        graphics/line drawing characters and just rely on what the specified
+        fonts provide. Use this if you have a good font and want to use its
+        block graphic glyphs; resource skipBuiltinGlyphs.
     -lsp *number*
         Compile *frills*: Lines (pixel height) to insert between each row of
         the display. Useful to work around font rendering problems; resource
         linespace.
            $rxvt->signal_connect_after (realize => sub {
               my $xid = $_[0]->window->get_xid;
               system "rxvt -embed $xid &";
            });
-    -pty-fd *fileno*
+    -pty-fd *file descriptor*
         Tells rxvt NOT to execute any commands or create a new pty/tty pair
         but instead use the given filehandle as the tty master. This is
         useful if you want to drive rxvt as a generic terminal emulator
         without having to run a program within it.
         If this switch is given, rxvt will not create any utmp/wtmp entries
         and will not tinker with pty/tty permissions - you have to do that
         yourself if you want that.
+        As an extremely special case, specifying -1 will completely suppress
+        pty/tty operations.
         Here is a example in perl that illustrates how this option can be
         used (a longer example is in doc/pty-fd):
            use IO::Pty;
            use Fcntl;
            # now communicate with rxvt
            my $slave = $pty->slave;
            while (<$slave>) { print $slave "got <$_>\n" }
+    -pe *string*
+        Comma-separated list of perl extension scripts to use (or not to
+        use) in this terminal instance. See resource perl-ext for details.
 RESOURCES (available also as long-options)
     Note: `rxvt --help' gives a list of all resources (long options)
     compiled into your version.
-    There are two different methods that rxvt can use to get the Xresource
-    data: using the X libraries (Xrm*-functions) or internal Xresources
-    reader (~/.Xdefaults). For the first method (ie. rxvt -h lists
-    XGetDefaults), you can set and change the resources using X11 tools like

-    .Xdefaults) then rxvt accepts application defaults set in
+    Rxvt and URxvt. The class name Rxvt allows resources common to both rxvt

         Create the window with the specified X window geometry [default
         80x24]; option -geometry.
     font: *fontlist*
         Select the fonts to be used. This is a comma separated list of font
         names that are used in turn when trying to display Unicode
         characters. The first font defines the cell size for characters;
         other fonts might be smaller, but not larger. A reasonable default

         Each font can either be a standard X11 core font (XLFD) name, with
         optional prefix "x:" or a Xft font (Compile *xft*), prefixed with
         "xft:".
     borderLess: *boolean*
         Set MWM hints to request a borderless window, i.e. if honoured by
         the WM, the rxvt-unicode window will not have window decorations;
         option -bl.
+    skipBuiltinGlyphs: *boolean*
+        Compile *frills*: Disable the usage of the built-in block
+        graphics/line drawing characters and just rely on what the specified
+        fonts provide. Use this if you have a good font and want to use its
+        block graphic glyphs; option -sbg.
     termName: *termname*
         Specifies the terminal type name to be set in the TERM environment
         variable; option -tn.
     linespace: *number*
     imLocale: *name*
         The locale to use for opening the IM. You can use an "LC_CTYPE" of
         e.g. "de_DE.UTF-8" for normal text processing but "ja_JP.EUC-JP" for
         the input extension to be able to input japanese characters while

     imFont: *fontset*
         Specify the font-set used for XIM styles "OverTheSpot" or
         "OffTheSpot". It must be a standard X font set (XLFD patterns
         separated by commas), i.e. it's not in the same format as the other
         to the base font. option -imfont.
     tripleclickwords: *boolean*
         Change the meaning of triple-click selection with the left mouse

+        selection to the end of the logical line only; option -tcw.
     insecure: *boolean*
         Enables "insecure" mode. Rxvt-unicode offers some escape sequences
         that echo arbitrary strings like the icon name or the locale. This
         could be abused if somebody gets 8-bit-clean access to your display,
         "\e", "\E": escape, "\n": newline, "\r": carriage return, "\t": tab,
         "\000": octal number) or verbatim control characters ("^?": delete,
         "^@": null, "^A" ...) and may be enclosed with double quotes so that
         it can start or end with whitespace.

         is interpreted and executed as rxvt's control sequence. For example
         the following means "change the current locale to "zh_CN.GBK" when
         Control-Meta-c is being pressed":
           URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: command:\033]701;zh_CN.GBK\007
+        If *string* takes the form "perl:STRING", then the specified STRING
+        is passed to the "on_keyboard_command" perl handler. See the
+        rxvtperl(3) manpage. For example, the selection extension (activated
+        via "rxvt -pe selection") listens for "selection:rot13" events:
+          URxvt.keysym.M-C-c: perl:selection:rot13
         Due the the large number of modifier combinations, a defined key
         mapping will match if at *at least* the specified identifiers are
         being set, and no other key mappings with those and more bits are
         being defined. That means that defining a key map for "a" will

         info):
           URxvt.keysym.M-C-3: command:\033[8;25;80t
           URxvt.keysym.M-C-4: command:\033[8;48;110t
+    perl-ext-common: *string*
+    perl-ext: *string*
+        Comma-separated list(s) of perl extension scripts (default:
+        "default") to use in this terminal instance; option -pe.
+        Extension names can be prefixed with a "-" sign to prohibit using
+        them. This can be useful to selectively disable some extensions
+        loaded by default, or specified via the "perl-ext-common" resource.
+        For example, "default,-selection" will use all the default extension
+        except "selection".
+        Extension names can also be followed by an argument in angle
+        brackets (e.g. "searchable-scrollback<M-s>", which binds the hotkey
+        for searchable scorllback to Alt/Meta-s). Mentioning the same
+        extension multiple times with different arguments will pass multiple
+        arguments to the extension.
+        Each extension is looked up in the library directories, loaded if
+        necessary, and bound to the current terminal instance.
+        If both of these resources are the empty string, then the perl
+        interpreter will not be initialized. The idea behind two options is
+        that perl-ext-common will be used for extensions that should be
+        available to all instances, while perl-ext is used for specific
+        instances.
+    perl-eval: *string*
+        Perl code to be evaluated when all extensions have been registered.
+        See the rxvtperl(3) manpage. Due to security reasons, this resource
+        will be ignored when running setuid/setgid.
+    perl-lib: *path*
+        Colon-separated list of additional directories that hold extension
+        scripts. When looking for extensions specified by the "perl"
+        resource, rxvt will first look in these directories and then in
+        /opt/rxvt/lib/urxvt/perl/. Due to security reasons, this resource
+        will be ignored when running setuid/setgid.
+        See the rxvtperl(3) manpage.

+        Additional selection patterns, see the rxvtperl(3) manpage for
+        details.
+    selection-autotransform.*idx*: *perl-transform*
+        Selection auto-transform patterns, see the rxvtperl(3) manpage for
+        details.
+    searchable-scrollback: *keysym*
+        Sets the hotkey that starts the incremental scrollback buffer search
+        (default: "M-s").
+    urlLauncher: *string*
+        Specifies the program to be started with a URL argument. Used by the
+        "selection-popup" and "mark-urls" perl extensions.
+    transient-for: *windowid*
+        Sets the WM_TRANSIENT_FOR property to the given window iw.
 THE SCROLLBAR
     Lines of text that scroll off the top of the rxvt window (resource:
     saveLines) and can be scrolled back using the scrollbar or by
     keystrokes. The normal rxvt scrollbar has arrows and its behaviour is
