233     All objects (such as terminals, time watchers etc.) are typical
234     reference-to-hash objects. The hash can be used to store anything you
235     like. All members starting with an underscore (such as \f(CW\*(C`_ptr\*(C'\fR or
236 root 1.9 \&\f(CW\*(C`_hook\*(C'\fR) are reserved for internal uses and \fB\s-1MUST\s0 \s-1NOT\s0\fR be accessed or
237 root 1.3 modified).
238     .PP
239     When objects are destroyed on the \*(C+ side, the perl object hashes are
240     emptied, so its best to store related objects such as time watchers and
241     the like inside the terminal object so they get destroyed as soon as the
242     terminal is destroyed.
243 root 1.14 .PP
244     Argument names also often indicate the type of a parameter. Here are some
245     hints on what they mean:
246     .IP "$text" 4
247     .IX Item "$text"
248     Rxvt-unicodes special way of encoding text, where one \*(L"unicode\*(R" character
249     always represents one screen cell. See row_t for a discussion of this format.
250     .IP "$string" 4
251     .IX Item "$string"
252     A perl text string, with an emphasis on \fItext\fR. It can store all unicode
253     characters and is to be distinguished with text encoded in a specific
254     encoding (often locale\-specific) and binary data.
255     .IP "$octets" 4
256     .IX Item "$octets"
257     Either binary data or \- more common \- a text string encoded in a
258     locale-specific way.
259 root 1.19 .Sh "Extension Objects"
260     .IX Subsection "Extension Objects"
261     Very perl extension is a perl class. A separate perl object is created
262     for each terminal and each extension and passed as the first parameter to
263     hooks. So extensions can use their \f(CW$self\fR object without having to think
264     about other extensions, with the exception of methods and members that
265     begin with an underscore character \f(CW\*(C`_\*(C'\fR: these are reserved for internal
266     use.
267     .PP
268     Although it isn't a \f(CW\*(C`urxvt::term\*(C'\fR object, you can call all methods of the
269     \&\f(CW\*(C`urxvt::term\*(C'\fR class on this object.

273     .el .IP "$urxvt_term = \f(CW$self\fR\->{term}" 4
274     .IX Item "$urxvt_term = $self->{term}"
275     Returns the \f(CW\*(C`urxvt::term\*(C'\fR object associated with this instance of the
276     extension. This member \fImust not\fR be changed in any way.
277     .ie n .IP "$self\->enable ($hook_name => $cb\fR, [$hook_name => \f(CW$cb..])" 4
278     .el .IP "$self\->enable ($hook_name => \f(CW$cb\fR, [$hook_name => \f(CW$cb\fR..])" 4
279     .IX Item "$self->enable ($hook_name => $cb, [$hook_name => $cb..])"
280     Dynamically enable the given hooks (named without the \f(CW\*(C`on_\*(C'\fR prefix) for
281     this extension, replacing any previous hook. This is useful when you want
282     to overwrite time-critical hooks only temporarily.
283     .ie n .IP "$self\->disable ($hook_name[, $hook_name..])" 4
284     .el .IP "$self\->disable ($hook_name[, \f(CW$hook_name\fR..])" 4

301     .el .IP "on_init \f(CW$term\fR" 4
302     .IX Item "on_init $term"
303     Called after a new terminal object has been initialized, but before
304 root 1.14 windows are created or the command gets run. Most methods are unsafe to
305     call or deliver senseless data, as terminal size and other characteristics
306     have not yet been determined. You can safely query and change resources,
307     though.

309     .el .IP "on_reset \f(CW$term\fR" 4
310     .IX Item "on_reset $term"
311     Called after the screen is \*(L"reset\*(R" for any reason, such as resizing or
312     control sequences. Here is where you can react on changes to size-related
313     variables.

315     .el .IP "on_start \f(CW$term\fR" 4
316     .IX Item "on_start $term"

318     returning to the mainloop.
319     .ie n .IP "on_sel_make $term\fR, \f(CW$eventtime" 4
320     .el .IP "on_sel_make \f(CW$term\fR, \f(CW$eventtime\fR" 4
321     .IX Item "on_sel_make $term, $eventtime"
322     Called whenever a selection has been made by the user, but before the
323     selection text is copied, so changes to the beginning, end or type of the
324     selection will be honored.
325     .Sp
326     Returning a true value aborts selection making by urxvt, in which case you
327     have to make a selection yourself by calling \f(CW\*(C`$term\->selection_grab\*(C'\fR.

330     .IX Item "on_sel_grab $term, $eventtime"
331     Called whenever a selection has been copied, but before the selection is
332     requested from the server. The selection text can be queried and changed
333     by calling \f(CW\*(C`$term\->selection\*(C'\fR.
334     .Sp
335     Returning a true value aborts selection grabbing. It will still be hilighted.

337     .el .IP "on_sel_extend \f(CW$term\fR" 4
338     .IX Item "on_sel_extend $term"
339     Called whenever the user tries to extend the selection (e.g. with a double
340     click) and is either supposed to return false (normal operation), or
341     should extend the selection itelf and return true to suppress the built-in
342     processing.

348     Called whenever the view offset changes, i..e the user or program
349     scrolls. Offset \f(CW0\fR means display the normal terminal, positive values
350     show this many lines of scrollback.
351     .ie n .IP "on_scroll_back $term\fR, \f(CW$lines\fR, \f(CW$saved" 4

353     .IX Item "on_scroll_back $term, $lines, $saved"
354     Called whenever lines scroll out of the terminal area into the scrollback
355     buffer. \f(CW$lines\fR is the number of lines scrolled out and may be larger
356     than the scroll back buffer or the terminal.
357     .Sp
358     It is called before lines are scrolled out (so rows 0 .. min ($lines \- 1,
359     \&\f(CW$nrow\fR \- 1) represent the lines to be scrolled out). \f(CW$saved\fR is the total
360     number of lines that will be in the scrollback buffer.

364     Called whenever the \fB\s-1ESC\s0 ] 777 ; string \s-1ST\s0\fR command sequence (\s-1OSC\s0 =
365     operating system command) is processed. Cursor position and other state
366     information is up-to-date when this happens. For interoperability, the
367     string should start with the extension name and a colon, to distinguish
368     it from commands for other extensions, and this might be enforced in the
369     future.

371     Be careful not ever to trust (in a security sense) the data you receive,
