manpagesection(RESOURCES (available also as long-options)) |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
Note: `rxvt --help' gives a list of all resources (long options) compiled |
| 6 |
into your version. |
| 7 |
If compiled with internal Xresources support (i.e. bf(rxvt -h) lists |
| 8 |
bf(.Xdefaults)) then bf(rxvt) accepts application defaults set in |
| 9 |
XAPPLOADDIR/Rxvt (compile-time defined: usually |
| 10 |
bf(/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/Rxvt)) and resources set in bf(~/.Xdefaults), |
| 11 |
or bf(~/.Xresources) if bf(~/.Xdefaults) does not exist. Note that when |
| 12 |
reading X resources, bf(rxvt) recognizes two class names: bf(XTerm) and |
| 13 |
bf(Rxvt). The class name bf(XTerm) allows resources common to both |
| 14 |
bf(rxvt) and em(xterm) to be easily configured, while the class name |
| 15 |
bf(Rxvt) allows resources unique to bf(rxvt), notably colours and |
| 16 |
key-handling, to be shared between different bf(rxvt) configurations. |
| 17 |
If no resources are specified, suitable defaults will be used. |
| 18 |
Command-line arguments can be used to override resource settings. The |
| 19 |
following resources are allowed: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
startdit() |
| 22 |

| 38 |
background) colours. The canonical names are as follows: |
