=head1 SYNOPSIS |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
B<@@RXVT_NAME@@c> [same options as for @@RXVT_NAME@@] |
| 8 |
|

=head1 DESCRIPTION |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
This manpage describes the B<@@RXVT_NAME@@c> client program. It connects |
| 12 |
to the B<@@RXVT_NAME@@d> daemon and requests a new terminal window. It |
| 13 |
takes the same arguments as the B<@@RXVT_NAME@@> program. The environment |
| 14 |
will also be respected. Currently, it always returns immediately after |
| 15 |
contacting the daemon. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
=head1 OPTIONS |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
All options that are valid for B<@@RXVT_NAME@@> are valid for |
| 20 |
B<@@RXVT_NAME@@c>, too. Please note that all options are currently |
| 21 |
interpreted in the context of the daemon process, which makes a difference |
| 22 |
for options that specify a file descriptor (such as B<-pty-fd>). |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
=head1 EXIT STATUS |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
If everything went well, @@RXVT_NAME@@c returns with an exit status of C<0>. |
| 27 |
If contacting the daemon fails, it exits with the exit status C<2>. In all other error |
| 28 |
cases it returns with status C<1>. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
This can be used to implement auto-starting behaviour, by checking for an |
| 31 |
exit status of C<2>, running C<@@RXVT_NAME@@d -f -q> and retrying the call |
| 32 |
to @@RXVT_NAME@@c. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
=head1 ENVIRONMENT |
| 35 |
|
| 36 |
All environment variables of the current process will be made available |
| 37 |
to the new instance, and will be interpreted as if B<@@RXVT_NAME@@> were |
| 38 |
started directly. |

=item B<RXVT_SOCKET> |
| 43 |
|
| 44 |
Both @@RXVT_NAME@@c and @@RXVT_NAME@@d use the environment variable |
| 45 |
F<RXVT_SOCKET> to create a listening socket and to contact the |
| 46 |
@@RXVT_NAME@@d, respectively. If the variable is missing, |
| 47 |
F<<< $HOME/.rxvt-unicode-I<< <nodename> >> >>> is used. The variable must |
| 48 |
specify the absolute path of the socket to create. |
