147 .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 will suppress this message (errors and warnings will still be logged).
174 .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$DISPLAY\fR and keep it open.
178 .Sp
179 This is useful if you want to bind an instance of \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@d\fR to
180 the lifetime of a specific display/server. If the server does a reset,
181 \&\fB@@RXVT_NAME@@d\fR will be killed automatically.
182 .IP "\fB\-f\fR, \fB\-\-fork\fR" 4
183 .IX Item "-f, --fork"
184 This makes \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@d\fR fork after it has bound itself to its control
185 socket.
186 .SH "EXAMPLES"
187 .IX Header "EXAMPLES"
188 This is a useful invocation of \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@d\fR in a \fI.xsession\fR\-style
189 script:
190 .PP
191 .Vb 1
192 \& @@RXVT_NAME@@d \-q \-f \-o
193 .Ve
194 .PP
195 This waits till the control socket is available, opens the current display
196 and forks into the background. When you log-out, the server is reset and
197 \&\fB@@RXVT_NAME@@d\fR is killed.
198 .SH "ENVIRONMENT"
199 .IX Header "ENVIRONMENT"
200 .IP "\fB\s-1RXVT_SOCKET\s0\fR" 4
201 .IX Item "RXVT_SOCKET"
202 Both \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@c\fR and \fB@@RXVT_NAME@@d\fR use the environment
203 variable \fI\s-1RXVT_SOCKET\s0\fR to create a listening socket and to contact
204 the @@RXVT_NAME@@d, respectively. If the variable is missing then
205 \&\fI\f(CI$HOME\fI/.rxvt\-unicode\-\fI<nodename>\fI\fR is used.
206 .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.
