133 root 1.1 .SH "NAME"
134     @@RXVT_NAME@@d \- @@RXVT_NAME@@ terminal daemon
135     .SH "SYNOPSIS"
136     .IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
137     \&\fB@@RXVT_NAME@@d\fR [\-q|\-\-quiet] [\-o|\-\-opendisplay] [\-f|\-\-fork]
138 root 1.6 .PP
139     \&\fB@@RXVT_NAME@@d\fR \-q \-o \-f # for .xsession use
140 root 1.1 .SH "DESCRIPTION"
141     .IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
142     This manpage describes the @@RXVT_NAME@@d daemon, which is the same vt102
143     terminal emulator as @@RXVT_NAME@@, but runs as a daemon that can open
144     multiple terminal windows within the same process.
145     .PP
146     You can run it from your X startup scripts, for example, although it is
147     not dependent on a working \s-1DISPLAY\s0 and, in fact, can open windows on
148     multiple X displays on the same time.
149     .PP
150     Advantages of running a @@RXVT_NAME@@ daemon include faster creation time
151     for terminal windows and a lot of saved memory.
152     .PP
153     The disadvantage is a possible impact on stability \- if the
154     main program crashes, all processes in the terminal windows are
155     terminated. For example, as there is no way to cleanly react to abnormal
156     connection closes, \f(CW\*(C`xkill\*(C'\fR and server resets/restarts will kill the
157     \&\fB@@RXVT_NAME@@d\fR instance including all windows it has opened.
158     .SH "OPTIONS"
159     .IX Header "OPTIONS"
160     \&\fB@@RXVT_NAME@@d\fR currently understands a few options only. Bundling of
161     options is not yet supported.
162     .IP "\fB\-q\fR, \fB\-\-quiet\fR" 4
163     .IX Item "-q, --quiet"
164     Normally, \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@d\fR outputs the message \f(CW\*(C`rxvt\-unicode daemon
165     listening on <path>\*(C'\fR after binding to its control socket. This option
166 root 1.2 will suppress this message (errors and warnings will still be logged).
167 root 1.1 .IP "\fB\-o\fR, \fB\-\-opendisplay\fR" 4
168     .IX Item "-o, --opendisplay"
169     This forces \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@d\fR to open a connection to the current
170     \&\f(CW$DISPLAY\fR and keep it open.
171     .Sp
172     This is useful if you want to bind an instance of \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@d\fR to
173     the lifetime of a specific display/server. If the server does a reset,
174     \&\fB@@RXVT_NAME@@d\fR will be killed automatically.
175     .IP "\fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-fork\fR" 4
176     .IX Item "-f, --fork"
177     This makes \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@d\fR fork after it has bound itself to its control
178     socket.
179     .SH "EXAMPLES"
180     .IX Header "EXAMPLES"
181     This is a useful invocation of \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@d\fR in a \fI.xsession\fR\-style
182     script:
183     .PP
184     .Vb 1
185 root 1.5 \& @@RXVT_NAME@@d -q -f -o
186 root 1.1 .Ve
187     .PP
188     This waits till the control socket is available, opens the current display
189     and forks into the background. When you log\-out, the server is reset and
190     \&\fB@@RXVT_NAME@@d\fR is killed.
191     .SH "ENVIRONMENT"
192     .IX Header "ENVIRONMENT"
193     .IP "\fB\s-1RXVT_SOCKET\s0\fR" 4
194     .IX Item "RXVT_SOCKET"
195 root 1.3 Both \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@c\fR and \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@d\fR use the environment
196     variable \fI\s-1RXVT_SOCKET\s0\fR to create a listening socket and to contact
197 root 1.1 the @@RXVT_NAME@@d, respectively. If the variable is missing,
198 root 1.5 \&\fI$HOME/.rxvt\-unicode\-\fI<nodename>\fI\fR is used. The variable must
199 root 1.3 specify the absolute path of the socket to create.
200 root 1.1 .IP "\fB\s-1DISPLAY\s0\fR" 4
201     .IX Item "DISPLAY"
202     Only used when the \f(CW\*(C`\-\-opendisplay\*(C'\fR option is specified. Must contain a
203     valid X display name.
204     .SH "SEE ALSO"
205     .IX Header "SEE ALSO"
