<p>This manpage describes the <strong>rxvtc</strong> client program. It connects |
41 |
to the <strong>rxvtd</strong> daemon and requests a new terminal window. It |
42 |
takes the same arguments as the <strong>rxvt</strong> program. The environment |
43 |
will also be respected. Currently, it always returns immediately after |
44 |
contacting the daemon.</p> |

<p>All options that are valid for <strong>rxvt</strong> are valid for |
50 |
<strong>rxvtc</strong>, too. Please note that options are interpreted in the |
51 |
context of the daemon process. However, as current working directory, |
52 |
process environment and any file descriptor (e.g. for <code>-pty-fd</code>) are |
53 |
preserved, this rarely makes a difference.</p> |

<div id="EXIT_STATUS_CONTENT"> |
58 |
<p>If everything went well, rxvtc returns with an exit status of <code>0</code>. |
59 |
If contacting the daemon fails, it exits with the exit status <code>2</code>. In all other error |
60 |
cases it returns with status <code>1</code>.</p> |
61 |
<p>This can be used to implement auto-starting behaviour, by checking for an |
62 |
exit status of <code>2</code>, running <code>rxvtd -f -q</code> and retrying the call |
63 |
to rxvtc, like this:</p> |
64 |
<pre> #!/bin/sh |
65 |
rxvtc "$@" |
66 |
if [ $? -eq 2 ]; then |
67 |
rxvtd -q -o -f |
68 |
rxvtc "$@" |
69 |

<p>All environment variables of the current process will be made available |

<p>Both rxvtc and rxvtd use the environment variable |
83 |
<cite>RXVT_SOCKET</cite> to create a listening socket and to contact the |
84 |
rxvtd, respectively. If the variable is missing, |
85 |
<cite>$HOME/.rxvt-unicode-<i><nodename></i></cite> is used. The variable must |
86 |
specify the absolute path of the socket to create.</p> |
