66 93
94 Argument names also often indicate the type of a parameter. Here are
95 some hints on what they mean:
96
97 $text
98 Rxvt-unicodes special way of encoding text, where one "unicode"
99 character always represents one screen cell. See row_t for a
100 discussion of this format.
101
102 $string
103 A perl text string, with an emphasis on *text*. It can store all
104 unicode characters and is to be distinguished with text encoded in a
105 specific encoding (often locale-specific) and binary data.
106
107 $octets
108 Either binary data or - more common - a text string encoded in a
109 locale-specific way.
110
111 Extension Objects
112 Very perl extension is a perl class. A separate perl object is created
113 for each terminal and each extension and passed as the first parameter
114 to hooks. So extensions can use their $self object without having to
115 think about other extensions, with the exception of methods and members
116 that begin with an underscore character "_": these are reserved for
117 internal use.
118
119 Although it isn't a "urxvt::term" object, you can call all methods of
120 the "urxvt::term" class on this object.
121
122 It has the following methods and data members:
123
124 $urxvt_term = $self->{term}
125 Returns the "urxvt::term" object associated with this instance of
126 the extension. This member *must not* be changed in any way.
127
128 $self->enable ($hook_name => $cb, [$hook_name => $cb..])
129 Dynamically enable the given hooks (named without the "on_" prefix)
130 for this extension, replacing any previous hook. This is useful when
131 you want to overwrite time-critical hooks only temporarily.
132
133 $self->disable ($hook_name[, $hook_name..])
134 Dynamically disable the given hooks.
135

71 The first argument passed to them is an object private to each terminal 140 The first argument passed to them is an extension oject as described in
72 and extension package. You can call all "urxvt::term" methods on it, but 141 the in the "Extension Objects" section.
73 its not a real "urxvt::term" object. Instead, the real "urxvt::term"
74 object that is shared between all packages is stored in the "term"
75 member.
76 142

85 Called after a new terminal object has been initialized, but before 151 Called after a new terminal object has been initialized, but before
86 windows are created or the command gets run. 152 windows are created or the command gets run. Most methods are unsafe
153 to call or deliver senseless data, as terminal size and other
154 characteristics have not yet been determined. You can safely query
155 and change resources, though.

121 190
122 on_focus_in $term
123 Called whenever the window gets the keyboard focus, before urxvt
124 does focus in processing.
125
126 on_focus_out $term
127 Called wheneever the window loses keyboard focus, before urxvt does
128 focus out processing.
129
130 on_view_change $term, $offset 191 on_view_change $term, $offset
131 Called whenever the view offset changes, i..e the user or program 192 Called whenever the view offset changes, i..e the user or program

158 messages from other users on the same system etc.). 215 messages from other users on the same system etc.).
159 216
217 on_add_lines $term, $string
218 Called whenever text is about to be output, with the text as
219 argument. You can filter/change and output the text yourself by
220 returning a true value and calling "$term->scr_add_lines" yourself.
221 Please note that this might be very slow, however, as your hook is
222 called for all text being output.
223
224 on_tt_write $term, $octets
225 Called whenever some data is written to the tty/pty and can be used
226 to suppress or filter tty input.
227
228 on_line_update $term, $row
229 Called whenever a line was updated or changed. Can be used to filter
230 screen output (e.g. underline urls or other useless stuff). Only
231 lines that are being shown will be filtered, and, due to performance
232 reasons, not always immediately.
233
234 The row number is always the topmost row of the line if the line
235 spans multiple rows.
236
237 Please note that, if you change the line, then the hook might get
238 called later with the already-modified line (e.g. if unrelated parts
239 change), so you cannot just toggle rendition bits, but only set
240 them.
241
160 on_refresh_begin $term 242 on_refresh_begin $term
161 Called just before the screen gets redrawn. Can be used for overlay 243 Called just before the screen gets redrawn. Can be used for overlay

256 on_focus_in $term
257 Called whenever the window gets the keyboard focus, before
258 rxvt-unicode does focus in processing.
259
260 on_focus_out $term
261 Called wheneever the window loses keyboard focus, before
262 rxvt-unicode does focus out processing.

268 on_motion_notify $term, $event
269 on_map_notify $term, $event
270 on_unmap_notify $term, $event
271 Called whenever the corresponding X event is received for the
272 terminal If the hook returns true, then the even will be ignored by
273 rxvt-unicode.
274
275 The event is a hash with most values as named by Xlib (see the
276 XEvent manpage), with the additional members "row" and "col", which
277 are the row and column under the mouse cursor.
278
279 "on_key_press" additionally receives the string rxvt-unicode would

291 Creates a new terminal, very similar as if you had started it with
292 "system $binfile, arg...". Croaks (and probably outputs an error
293 message) if the new instance couldn't be created. Returns "undef" if
294 the new instance didn't initialise perl, and the terminal object
295 otherwise. The "init" and "start" hooks will be called during the
296 call.

364 The "urxvt::anyevent" Class
365 The sole purpose of this class is to deliver an interface to the
366 "AnyEvent" module - any module using it will work inside urxvt without
367 further work. The only exception is that you cannot wait on condition
368 variables, but non-blocking condvar use is ok. What this means is that
369 you cannot use blocking APIs, but the non-blocking variant should work.

375 $isset = $term->option ($optval[, $set])
376 Returns true if the option specified by $optval is enabled, and

333 encoding. 494 encoding.
334 495
335 $string = $term->locale_decode $octets 496 $string = $term->locale_decode ($octets)
336 Convert the given locale-encoded octets into a perl string. 497 Convert the given locale-encoded octets into a perl string.
498
499 $term->scr_xor_span ($beg_row, $beg_col, $end_row, $end_col[, $rstyle])
500 XORs the rendition values in the given span with the provided value
501 (default: "RS_RVid"). Useful in refresh hooks to provide effects
502 similar to the selection.
503
504 $term->scr_xor_rect ($beg_row, $beg_col, $end_row, $end_col[, $rstyle1[,
505 $rstyle2]])
506 Similar to "scr_xor_span", but xors a rectangle instead. Trailing
507 whitespace will additionally be xored with the $rstyle2, which
508 defaults to "RS_RVid | RS_Uline", which removes reverse video again
509 and underlines it instead.

513
514 $term->scr_add_lines ($string)
515 Write the given text string to the screen, as if output by the
516 application running inside the terminal. It may not contain command
517 sequences (escape codes), but is free to use line feeds, carriage
518 returns and tabs. The string is a normal text string, not in
519 locale-dependent encoding.
520
521 Normally its not a good idea to use this function, as programs might
522 be confused by changes in cursor position or scrolling. Its useful
523 inside a "on_add_lines" hook, though.
524
525 $term->cmd_parse ($octets)
526 Similar to "scr_add_lines", but the argument must be in the
527 locale-specific encoding of the terminal and can contain command
528 sequences (escape codes) that will be interpreted.
337 529
338 $term->tt_write ($octets) 530 $term->tt_write ($octets)
339 Write the octets given in $data to the tty (i.e. as program input). 531 Write the octets given in $data to the tty (i.e. as program input).
340 To pass characters instead of octets, you should convert your 532 To pass characters instead of octets, you should convert your
341 strings first to the locale-specific encoding using 533 strings first to the locale-specific encoding using
342 "$term->locale_encode". 534 "$term->locale_encode".
343 535
536 $old_events = $term->pty_ev_events ([$new_events])
537 Replaces the event mask of the pty watcher by the given event mask.
