Note: `RXVTNAME() --help' gives a list of all resources (long options) compiled |
| 6 |
pcg |
1.1 |
into your version. |

|
There are two different methods that RXVTNAME() can use to get the |
| 9 |
|
|
Xresource data: using the X libraries (Xrm*-functions) or internal Xresources |
| 10 |
|
|
reader (bf(~/.Xdefaults)). For the first method (ie. bf(RXVTNAME() -h) lists |
| 11 |
|
|
bf(XGetDefaults)), you can set and change the resources using X11 |
| 12 |
|
|
tools like bf(xset). Many distribution do also load settings from the |
| 13 |
|
|
bf(~/.Xresources) file when X starts. |
| 14 |
|
|
|
| 15 |
|
|
If compiled with internal Xresources support (i.e. bf(RXVTNAME() |
| 16 |
|
|
-h) lists bf(.Xdefaults)) then bf(RXVTNAME()) accepts application |
| 17 |
|
|
defaults set in XAPPLOADDIR/URxvt (compile-time defined: usually |
| 18 |
|
|
bf(/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/URxvt)) and resources set in |
| 19 |
|
|
bf(~/.Xdefaults), or bf(~/.Xresources) if bf(~/.Xdefaults) does not exist. |
| 20 |
|
|
Note that when reading X resources, bf(RXVTNAME()) recognizes two class |
| 21 |
|
|
names: bf(XTerm) and bf(URxvt). The class name bf(Rxvt) allows resources |
| 22 |
|
|
common to both bf(RXVTNAME()) and the original em(rxvt) to be easily configured, |
| 23 |
|
|
while the class name bf(URxvt) allows resources unique to bf(RXVTNAME()), |
| 24 |
|
|
notably colours and key-handling, to be shared between different |
| 25 |
|
|
bf(RXVTNAME()) configurations. If no resources are specified, suitable |
| 26 |
|
|
defaults will be used. Command-line arguments can be used to override |
| 27 |
|
|
resource settings. The following resources are allowed: |
