217 overlays or changes.
218 .Sh "General \s-1API\s0 Considerations"
219 .IX Subsection "General API Considerations"
220 All objects (such as terminals, time watchers etc.) are typical
221 reference-to-hash objects. The hash can be used to store anything you
222 like. All members starting with an underscore (such as \f(CW\*(C`_ptr\*(C'\fR or
223 \&\f(CW\*(C`_hook\*(C'\fR) are reserved for internal uses and \fB\s-1MUST\s0 \s-1NOT\s0\fR be accessed or
224 modified).
225 .PP
226 When objects are destroyed on the \*(C+ side, the perl object hashes are
227 emptied, so its best to store related objects such as time watchers and
228 the like inside the terminal object so they get destroyed as soon as the
229 terminal is destroyed.
230 .PP
231 Argument names also often indicate the type of a parameter. Here are some
232 hints on what they mean:
233 .IP "$text" 4
234 .IX Item "$text"
235 Rxvt-unicodes special way of encoding text, where one \*(L"unicode\*(R" character
236 always represents one screen cell. See row_t for a discussion of this format.
237 .IP "$string" 4
238 .IX Item "$string"
239 A perl text string, with an emphasis on \fItext\fR. It can store all unicode
240 characters and is to be distinguished with text encoded in a specific
241 encoding (often locale\-specific) and binary data.
242 .IP "$octets" 4
243 .IX Item "$octets"
244 Either binary data or \- more common \- a text string encoded in a
245 locale-specific way.
246 .Sh "Hooks"
247 .IX Subsection "Hooks"
248 The following subroutines can be declared in extension files, and will be
249 called whenever the relevant event happens.
250 .PP
251 The first argument passed to them is an object private to each terminal
252 and extension package. You can call all \f(CW\*(C`urxvt::term\*(C'\fR methods on it, but
253 its not a real \f(CW\*(C`urxvt::term\*(C'\fR object. Instead, the real \f(CW\*(C`urxvt::term\*(C'\fR
254 object that is shared between all packages is stored in the \f(CW\*(C`term\*(C'\fR
255 member. It is, however, blessed intot he package of the extension script,
256 so for all practical purposes you can treat an extension script as a class.
257 .PP
258 All of them must return a boolean value. If it is true, then the event
259 counts as being \fIconsumed\fR, and the invocation of other hooks is skipped,
260 and the relevant action might not be carried out by the \*(C+ code.
261 .PP
262 When in doubt, return a false value (preferably \f(CW\*(C`()\*(C'\fR).
263 .ie n .IP "on_init $term" 4
264 .el .IP "on_init \f(CW$term\fR" 4
265 .IX Item "on_init $term"
266 Called after a new terminal object has been initialized, but before
267 windows are created or the command gets run. Most methods are unsafe to
268 call or deliver senseless data, as terminal size and other characteristics
269 have not yet been determined. You can safely query and change resources,
270 though.
271 .ie n .IP "on_reset $term" 4
272 .el .IP "on_reset \f(CW$term\fR" 4
273 .IX Item "on_reset $term"
274 Called after the screen is \*(L"reset\*(R" for any reason, such as resizing or
275 control sequences. Here is where you can react on changes to size-related
276 variables.
277 .ie n .IP "on_start $term" 4
278 .el .IP "on_start \f(CW$term\fR" 4
279 .IX Item "on_start $term"
280 Called at the very end of initialisation of a new terminal, just before
281 returning to the mainloop.
282 .ie n .IP "on_sel_make $term\fR, \f(CW$eventtime" 4
283 .el .IP "on_sel_make \f(CW$term\fR, \f(CW$eventtime\fR" 4
284 .IX Item "on_sel_make $term, $eventtime"
285 Called whenever a selection has been made by the user, but before the
286 selection text is copied, so changes to the beginning, end or type of the
287 selection will be honored.
288 .Sp
289 Returning a true value aborts selection making by urxvt, in which case you
290 have to make a selection yourself by calling \f(CW\*(C`$term\->selection_grab\*(C'\fR.
291 .ie n .IP "on_sel_grab $term\fR, \f(CW$eventtime" 4
292 .el .IP "on_sel_grab \f(CW$term\fR, \f(CW$eventtime\fR" 4
293 .IX Item "on_sel_grab $term, $eventtime"
294 Called whenever a selection has been copied, but before the selection is
295 requested from the server. The selection text can be queried and changed
296 by calling \f(CW\*(C`$term\->selection\*(C'\fR.
297 .Sp
298 Returning a true value aborts selection grabbing. It will still be hilighted.
299 .ie n .IP "on_sel_extend $term" 4
300 .el .IP "on_sel_extend \f(CW$term\fR" 4
301 .IX Item "on_sel_extend $term"
302 Called whenever the user tries to extend the selection (e.g. with a double
303 click) and is either supposed to return false (normal operation), or
304 should extend the selection itelf and return true to suppress the built-in
305 processing.
306 .Sp
307 See the \fIselection\fR example extension.
308 .ie n .IP "on_view_change $term\fR, \f(CW$offset" 4
309 .el .IP "on_view_change \f(CW$term\fR, \f(CW$offset\fR" 4
310 .IX Item "on_view_change $term, $offset"
311 Called whenever the view offset changes, i..e the user or program
312 scrolls. Offset \f(CW0\fR means display the normal terminal, positive values
313 show this many lines of scrollback.
314 .ie n .IP "on_scroll_back $term\fR, \f(CW$lines\fR, \f(CW$saved" 4
315 .el .IP "on_scroll_back \f(CW$term\fR, \f(CW$lines\fR, \f(CW$saved\fR" 4
316 .IX Item "on_scroll_back $term, $lines, $saved"
317 Called whenever lines scroll out of the terminal area into the scrollback
318 buffer. \f(CW$lines\fR is the number of lines scrolled out and may be larger
319 than the scroll back buffer or the terminal.
320 .Sp
321 It is called before lines are scrolled out (so rows 0 .. min ($lines \- 1,
322 \&\f(CW$nrow\fR \- 1) represent the lines to be scrolled out). \f(CW$saved\fR is the total
323 number of lines that will be in the scrollback buffer.
324 .ie n .IP "on_osc_seq $term\fR, \f(CW$string" 4
325 .el .IP "on_osc_seq \f(CW$term\fR, \f(CW$string\fR" 4
326 .IX Item "on_osc_seq $term, $string"
327 Called whenever the \fB\s-1ESC\s0 ] 777 ; string \s-1ST\s0\fR command sequence (\s-1OSC\s0 =
328 operating system command) is processed. Cursor position and other state
329 information is up-to-date when this happens. For interoperability, the
330 string should start with the extension name and a colon, to distinguish
331 it from commands for other extensions, and this might be enforced in the
332 future.
333 .Sp
334 Be careful not ever to trust (in a security sense) the data you receive,
335 as its source can not easily be controleld (e\-mail content, messages from
336 other users on the same system etc.).
337 .ie n .IP "on_add_lines $term\fR, \f(CW$string" 4
338 .el .IP "on_add_lines \f(CW$term\fR, \f(CW$string\fR" 4
339 .IX Item "on_add_lines $term, $string"
340 Called whenever text is about to be output, with the text as argument. You
341 can filter/change and output the text yourself by returning a true value
342 and calling \f(CW\*(C`$term\->scr_add_lines\*(C'\fR yourself. Please note that this
343 might be very slow, however, as your hook is called for \fBall\fR text being
344 output.
345 .ie n .IP "on_line_update $term\fR, \f(CW$row" 4
346 .el .IP "on_line_update \f(CW$term\fR, \f(CW$row\fR" 4
347 .IX Item "on_line_update $term, $row"
348 Called whenever a line was updated or changed. Can be used to filter
349 screen output (e.g. underline urls or other useless stuff). Only lines
350 that are being shown will be filtered, and, due to performance reasons,
351 not always immediately.
352 .Sp
353 The row number is always the topmost row of the line if the line spans
354 multiple rows.
355 .Sp
356 Please note that, if you change the line, then the hook might get called
357 later with the already-modified line (e.g. if unrelated parts change), so
358 you cannot just toggle rendition bits, but only set them.
359 .ie n .IP "on_refresh_begin $term" 4
360 .el .IP "on_refresh_begin \f(CW$term\fR" 4
361 .IX Item "on_refresh_begin $term"
362 Called just before the screen gets redrawn. Can be used for overlay
363 or similar effects by modify terminal contents in refresh_begin, and
364 restoring them in refresh_end. The built-in overlay and selection display
365 code is run after this hook, and takes precedence.
366 .ie n .IP "on_refresh_end $term" 4
367 .el .IP "on_refresh_end \f(CW$term\fR" 4
368 .IX Item "on_refresh_end $term"

371 .el .IP "on_keyboard_command \f(CW$term\fR, \f(CW$string\fR" 4

374 \&\f(CW\*(C`perl:string\*(C'\fR action bound to it (see description of the \fBkeysym\fR
375 resource in the @@RXVT_NAME@@(1) manpage).

784 Returns the text of the entire row with number \f(CW$row_number\fR. Row \f(CW0\fR
785 is the topmost terminal line, row \f(CW\*(C`$term\->$ncol\-1\*(C'\fR is the bottommost
786 terminal line. The scrollback buffer starts at line \f(CW\*(C`\-1\*(C'\fR and extends to

796 than one cell when displayed are padded with urxvt::NOCHAR characters

798 that do not fit into the normal tetx encoding will be replaced with
799 characters in the private use area.
800 .Sp
801 You have to obey this encoding when changing text. The advantage is
802 that \f(CW\*(C`substr\*(C'\fR and similar functions work on screen cells and not on
803 characters.
804 .Sp
805 The methods \f(CW\*(C`$term\->special_encode\*(C'\fR and \f(CW\*(C`$term\->special_decode\*(C'\fR
