135 .SH "SYNOPSIS"
136 .IX Header "SYNOPSIS"
137 \&\fB@@RXVT_NAME@@d\fR [\-q|\-\-quiet] [\-o|\-\-opendisplay] [\-f|\-\-fork]
138 .PP

140 .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 will suppress this message (errors and warnings will still be logged).
167 .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$DISPLAY\fR and keep it open.
171 .Sp
172 This is useful if you want to bind an instance of \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@d\fR to
173 the lifetime of a specific display/server. If the server does a reset,
174 \&\fB@@RXVT_NAME@@d\fR will be killed automatically.
175 .IP "\fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-fork\fR" 4
176 .IX Item "-f, --fork"
177 This makes \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@d\fR fork after it has bound itself to its control
178 socket.
179 .SH "EXAMPLES"
180 .IX Header "EXAMPLES"
181 This is a useful invocation of \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@d\fR in a \fI.xsession\fR\-style
182 script:
183 .PP
184 .Vb 1
185 \& @@RXVT_NAME@@d -q -f -o
186 .Ve
187 .PP
188 This waits till the control socket is available, opens the current display
189 and forks into the background. When you log\-out, the server is reset and
190 \&\fB@@RXVT_NAME@@d\fR is killed.
191 .SH "ENVIRONMENT"
192 .IX Header "ENVIRONMENT"
193 .IP "\fB\s-1RXVT_SOCKET\s0\fR" 4
194 .IX Item "RXVT_SOCKET"
195 Both \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@c\fR and \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@d\fR use the environment
196 variable \fI\s-1RXVT_SOCKET\s0\fR to create a listening socket and to contact
197 the @@RXVT_NAME@@d, respectively. If the variable is missing,
198 \&\fI$HOME/.rxvt\-unicode\-\fI<nodename>\fI\fR is used. The variable must
199 specify the absolute path of the socket to create.
200 .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.
