546<dt><strong><a name="item_nsaved">$nsaved = $term-&gt;nsaved</a></strong><br />

553</dt>
554<dd>
555Returns the negative row number of the topmost line. Minimum value is
556<code>0</code>, which displays the normal terminal contents. Larger values scroll
557this many lines into the scrollback buffer.
558</dd>
559<p></p>
560<dt><strong><a name="item_want_refresh">$term-&gt;want_refresh</a></strong><br />
561</dt>
562<dd>
563Requests a screen refresh. At the next opportunity, rxvt-unicode will
564compare the on-screen display with its stored representation. If they
565differ, it redraws the differences.
566</dd>
567<dd>
568<p>Used after changing terminal contents to display them.</p>

572</dt>
573<dd>
574Returns the text of the entire row with number <code>$row_number</code>. Row <code>0</code>
575is the topmost terminal line, row <code>$term-&gt;$ncol-1</code> is the bottommost
576terminal line. The scrollback buffer starts at line <code>-1</code> and extends to
577line <a href="#item_nsaved"><code>-$term-&gt;nsaved</code></a>. Nothing will be returned if a nonexistent line
578is requested.
579</dd>
580<dd>
581<p>If <code>$new_text</code> is specified, it will replace characters in the current
582line, starting at column <code>$start_col</code> (default <code>0</code>), which is useful
583to replace only parts of a line. The font index in the rendition will
584automatically be updated.</p>
585</dd>
586<dd>
587<p><code>$text</code> is in a special encoding: tabs and wide characters that use more
588than one cell when displayed are padded with urxvt::NOCHAR characters
589(<code>chr 65535</code>). Characters with combining characters and other characters
590that do not fit into the normal tetx encoding will be replaced with
591characters in the private use area.</p>
592</dd>
593<dd>
594<p>You have to obey this encoding when changing text. The advantage is
595that <code>substr</code> and similar functions work on screen cells and not on
596characters.</p>
597</dd>
598<dd>
599<p>The methods <code>$term-&gt;special_encode</code> and <a href="#item_special_decode"><code>$term-&gt;special_decode</code></a>

604</dt>
605<dd>
606Like <a href="#item_row_t"><code>$term-&gt;ROW_t</code></a>, but returns an arrayref with rendition
607bitsets. Rendition bitsets contain information about colour, font, font
608styles and similar information. See also <a href="#item_row_t"><code>$term-&gt;ROW_t</code></a>.

625<dt><strong><a name="item_is_longer">$bool = $term-&gt;is_longer ($row_number)</a></strong><br />
626</dt>

628Returns true if the row is part of a multiple-row logical ``line'' (i.e.
629joined with the following row), which means all characters are in use
630and it is continued on the next row (and possibly a continuation of the
631previous row(s)).
