142     .SH "SYNOPSIS"

147 root 1.1 .SH "DESCRIPTION"
148     .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
149     This manpage describes the @@RXVT_NAME@@d daemon, which is the same vt102
150     terminal emulator as @@RXVT_NAME@@, but runs as a daemon that can open
151     multiple terminal windows within the same process.
152     .PP
153     You can run it from your X startup scripts, for example, although it is
154     not dependent on a working \s-1DISPLAY\s0 and, in fact, can open windows on
155     multiple X displays on the same time.
156     .PP
157     Advantages of running a @@RXVT_NAME@@ daemon include faster creation time
158     for terminal windows and a lot of saved memory.
159     .PP
160     The disadvantage is a possible impact on stability \- if the
161     main program crashes, all processes in the terminal windows are
162     terminated. For example, as there is no way to cleanly react to abnormal
163     connection closes, \f(CW\*(C`xkill\*(C'\fR and server resets/restarts will kill the
164     \&\fB@@RXVT_NAME@@d\fR instance including all windows it has opened.
165     .SH "OPTIONS"
166     .IX Header "OPTIONS"
167     \&\fB@@RXVT_NAME@@d\fR currently understands a few options only. Bundling of
168     options is not yet supported.
169     .IP "\fB\-q\fR, \fB\-\-quiet\fR" 4
170     .IX Item "-q, --quiet"
171     Normally, \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@d\fR outputs the message \f(CW\*(C`rxvt\-unicode daemon
172     listening on <path>\*(C'\fR after binding to its control socket. This option
173 root 1.2 will suppress this message (errors and warnings will still be logged).
174 root 1.1 .IP "\fB\-o\fR, \fB\-\-opendisplay\fR" 4
175     .IX Item "-o, --opendisplay"
176     This forces \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@d\fR to open a connection to the current
177     \&\f(CW$DISPLAY\fR and keep it open.
178     .Sp
179     This is useful if you want to bind an instance of \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@d\fR to
180     the lifetime of a specific display/server. If the server does a reset,
181     \&\fB@@RXVT_NAME@@d\fR will be killed automatically.
182     .IP "\fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-fork\fR" 4
183     .IX Item "-f, --fork"
184     This makes \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@d\fR fork after it has bound itself to its control
185     socket.
186     .SH "EXAMPLES"
187     .IX Header "EXAMPLES"
188     This is a useful invocation of \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@d\fR in a \fI.xsession\fR\-style
189     script:
190     .PP
191     .Vb 1
192 root 1.10 \& @@RXVT_NAME@@d \-q \-f \-o
193 root 1.1 .Ve
194     .PP
195     This waits till the control socket is available, opens the current display
196 root 1.10 and forks into the background. When you log-out, the server is reset and
197 root 1.1 \&\fB@@RXVT_NAME@@d\fR is killed.
198     .SH "ENVIRONMENT"
199     .IX Header "ENVIRONMENT"
200     .IP "\fB\s-1RXVT_SOCKET\s0\fR" 4
201     .IX Item "RXVT_SOCKET"
202 root 1.3 Both \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@c\fR and \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@d\fR use the environment
203     variable \fI\s-1RXVT_SOCKET\s0\fR to create a listening socket and to contact
204 root 1.10 the @@RXVT_NAME@@d, respectively. If the variable is missing then
205     \&\fI\f(CI$HOME\fI/.rxvt\-unicode\-\fI<nodename>\fI\fR is used.
206 root 1.1 .IP "\fB\s-1DISPLAY\s0\fR" 4
207     .IX Item "DISPLAY"
208     Only used when the \f(CW\*(C`\-\-opendisplay\*(C'\fR option is specified. Must contain a
209     valid X display name.
210     .SH "SEE ALSO"
211     .IX Header "SEE ALSO"
