84 Argument names also often indicate the type of a parameter. Here are
85 some hints on what they mean:

87 $text
88 Rxvt-unicodes special way of encoding text, where one "unicode"
89 character always represents one screen cell. See row_t for a
90 discussion of this format.
91
92 $string
93 A perl text string, with an emphasis on *text*. It can store all
94 unicode characters and is to be distinguished with text encoded in a
95 specific encoding (often locale-specific) and binary data.
96
97 $octets
98 Either binary data or - more common - a text string encoded in a
99 locale-specific way.

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.

158 messages from other users on the same system etc.). 185 messages from other users on the same system etc.).
159 186
187 on_add_lines $term, $string
188 Called whenever text is about to be output, with the text as
189 argument. You can filter/change and output the text yourself by
190 returning a true value and calling "$term->scr_add_lines" yourself.
191 Please note that this might be very slow, however, as your hook is
192 called for all text being output.
193
194 on_line_update $term, $row
195 Called whenever a line was updated or changed. Can be used to filter
196 screen output (e.g. underline urls or other useless stuff). Only
197 lines that are being shown will be filtered, and, due to performance
198 reasons, not always immediately.
199
200 The row number is always the topmost row of the line if the line
201 spans multiple rows.
202
203 Please note that, if you change the line, then the hook might get
204 called later with the already-modified line (e.g. if unrelated parts
205 change), so you cannot just toggle rendition bits, but only set
206 them.
207
160 on_refresh_begin $term 208 on_refresh_begin $term

222 on_focus_in $term
223 Called whenever the window gets the keyboard focus, before
224 rxvt-unicode does focus in processing.
225
226 on_focus_out $term
227 Called wheneever the window loses keyboard focus, before
228 rxvt-unicode does focus out processing.

237 Called whenever the corresponding X event is received for the
238 terminal If the hook returns true, then the even will be ignored by
239 rxvt-unicode.
240
241 The event is a hash with most values as named by Xlib (see the
242 XEvent manpage), with the additional members "row" and "col", which
243 are the row and column under the mouse cursor.

256 $term = new urxvt [arg...]
257 Creates a new terminal, very similar as if you had started it with
258 "system $binfile, arg...". Croaks (and probably outputs an error
259 message) if the new instance couldn't be created. Returns "undef" if
260 the new instance didn't initialise perl, and the terminal object
261 otherwise. The "init" and "start" hooks will be called during the
262 call.

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

464 returns and tabs. The string is a normal text string, not in
465 locale-dependent encoding.

467 Normally its not a good idea to use this function, as programs might
468 be confused by changes in cursor position or scrolling. Its useful
469 inside a "on_add_lines" hook, though.
