manpageoptions() |

|
|
The bf(rxvt) options (mostly a subset of em(xterm)'s) are listed below. |
6 |
|
|
In keeping with the smaller-is-better philosophy, options may be eliminated |
7 |
|
|
or default values chosen at compile-time, so options and defaults listed |
8 |
|
|
may not accurately reflect the version installed on your system. |
9 |
|
|
`rxvt -h' gives a list of major compile-time options on the em(Options) line. |
10 |
|
|
Option descriptions may be prefixed with which compile option each is |
11 |
|
|
dependent upon. e.g. `Compile em(XIM):' requires em(XIM) on the em(Options) |
12 |
|
|
line. Note: `rxvt -help' gives a list of all command-line options compiled |
13 |
|
|
into your version. |
14 |
|
|
|
15 |
|
|
Note that bf(rxvt) permits the resource name to be used as a long-option |
16 |
|
|
(--/++ option) so the potential command-line options are far greater than |
17 |
|
|
those listed. |
18 |
|
|
For example: `rxvt --loginShell --color1 Orange'. |
19 |
|
|
|
20 |
|
|
Also note that if you do not explictly specify a font (bf(-fn) and bf(-fm)) |
21 |
|
|
or a multichar encoding method (bf(-km)), rxvt will select a font for the |
22 |
|
|
preferable encoding according to your locale. Supported encodings are: |
23 |
|
|
bf(ISO-8859-)n (n=bf(1)...bf(15)), bf(KOI8-R), bf(KOI8-U), bf(EUC-JP), |
24 |
|
|
bf(Shift_JIS), bf(EUC-KR), bf(EUC-CN) (aka bf(GB)), and bf(Big5). |
25 |
|
|
|

|
|
