<h1><a name="description">DESCRIPTION</a></h1> |
| 38 |
<p>This manpage describes the <strong>rxvtc</strong> client program. It connects |
| 39 |
to the <strong>rxvtd</strong> daemon and requests a new terminal window. It |
| 40 |
takes the same arguments as the <strong>rxvt</strong> program. The environment |
| 41 |
will also be respected. Currently, it always returns immediately after |
| 42 |
contacting the daemon.</p> |
| 43 |
<p> |
| 44 |
</p> |
| 45 |
<hr /> |
| 46 |
<h1><a name="options">OPTIONS</a></h1> |
| 47 |
<p>All options that are valid for <strong>rxvt</strong> are valid for |
| 48 |
<strong>rxvtc</strong>, too. Please note that all options are currently |
| 49 |
interpreted in the context of the daemon process, which makes a difference |
| 50 |
for options that specify a file descriptor (such as <strong>-pty-fd</strong>).</p> |
| 51 |
<p> |
| 52 |
</p> |
| 53 |
<hr /> |
| 54 |
<h1><a name="environment">ENVIRONMENT</a></h1> |
| 55 |
<p>All environment variables of the current process will be made available |
| 56 |
to the new instance, and will be interpreted as if <strong>rxvt</strong> were |
| 57 |
started directly.</p> |

<dd> |
| 62 |
Both rxvtc and rxvtd use the environment variable |
| 63 |
<em>RXVT_SOCKET</em> to create a listening socket and to contact the |
| 64 |
rxvtd, respectively. If the variable is missing, |
| 65 |
<em>$HOME/.rxvt-unicode-<em><nodename</em> </em>> >>> is used. The variable must |
| 66 |
specify the absolute path of the socket to create. |
