20     =head1 DESCRIPTION
21    
22 root 1.8 Everytime a terminal object gets created, scripts specified via the
23 root 1.10 C<perl> resource are loaded and associated with it.
24    
25     Scripts are compiled in a 'use strict' and 'use utf8' environment, and
26     thus must be encoded as UTF-8.
27 root 1.6
28     Each script will only ever be loaded once, even in @@RXVT_NAME@@d, where
29 root 1.16 scripts will be shared (but not enabled) for all terminals.

33     This section describes the extensiosn delivered with this version. You can
34     find them in F<@@RXVT_LIBDIR@@/urxvt/perl/>.

42     =item selection
43    
44 root 1.26 Intelligent selection. This extension tries to be more intelligent when
45     the user extends selections (double-click). Right now, it tries to select
46     urls and complete shell-quoted arguments, which is very convenient, too,
47     if your F<ls> supports C<--quoting-style=shell>.
48 root 1.22
49     It also offers the following bindable event:

61     =item digital-clock
62    
63 root 1.20 Displays a digital clock using the built-in overlay.
64    
65 root 1.35 =item mark-urls
66    
67 root 1.42 Uses per-line display filtering (C<on_line_update>) to underline urls.
68    
69     =item block-graphics-to-ascii
70    
71     A not very useful example of filtering all text output to the terminal,
72     by replacing all line-drawing characters (U+2500 .. U+259F) by a
73     similar-looking ascii character.
74 root 1.35
75 root 1.20 =item example-refresh-hooks
76    
77 root 1.15 Displays a very simple digital clock in the upper right corner of the
78     window. Illustrates overwriting the refresh callbacks to create your own
79     overlays or changes.

83 root 1.6 =head2 General API Considerations
84    
85     All objects (such as terminals, time watchers etc.) are typical
86     reference-to-hash objects. The hash can be used to store anything you
87 root 1.7 like. All members starting with an underscore (such as C<_ptr> or
88 root 1.23 C<_hook>) are reserved for internal uses and B<MUST NOT> be accessed or
89 root 1.7 modified).
90 root 1.6
91     When objects are destroyed on the C++ side, the perl object hashes are
92     emptied, so its best to store related objects such as time watchers and
93     the like inside the terminal object so they get destroyed as soon as the
94     terminal is destroyed.
95    
96 root 1.33 Argument names also often indicate the type of a parameter. Here are some
97     hints on what they mean:
98    
99     =over 4
100    
101     =item $text
102    
103     Rxvt-unicodes special way of encoding text, where one "unicode" character
104     always represents one screen cell. See L<row_t> for a discussion of this format.
105    
106     =item $string
107    
108     A perl text string, with an emphasis on I<text>. It can store all unicode
109     characters and is to be distinguished with text encoded in a specific
110     encoding (often locale-specific) and binary data.
111    
112     =item $octets
113    
114     Either binary data or - more common - a text string encoded in a
115     locale-specific way.
116    
117     =back
118    
119 root 1.1 =head2 Hooks
120    
121 root 1.43 The following subroutines can be declared in extension files, and will be
122 root 1.23 called whenever the relevant event happens.
123    
124     The first argument passed to them is an object private to each terminal
125     and extension package. You can call all C<urxvt::term> methods on it, but
126     its not a real C<urxvt::term> object. Instead, the real C<urxvt::term>
127     object that is shared between all packages is stored in the C<term>
128     member.
129 root 1.1
130     All of them must return a boolean value. If it is true, then the event
131     counts as being I<consumed>, and the invocation of other hooks is skipped,
132     and the relevant action might not be carried out by the C++ code.
133    
134     When in doubt, return a false value (preferably C<()>).
135    
136     =over 4
137    
138     =item on_init $term
139    
140     Called after a new terminal object has been initialized, but before
141 root 1.36 windows are created or the command gets run. Most methods are unsafe to
142     call or deliver senseless data, as terminal size and other characteristics
143     have not yet been determined. You can safely query and change resources,
144     though.
145 root 1.1
146     =item on_reset $term
147    
148     Called after the screen is "reset" for any reason, such as resizing or
149     control sequences. Here is where you can react on changes to size-related
150     variables.
151    
152     =item on_start $term
153    
154     Called at the very end of initialisation of a new terminal, just before
155     returning to the mainloop.
156    
157     =item on_sel_make $term, $eventtime
158    
159     Called whenever a selection has been made by the user, but before the
160     selection text is copied, so changes to the beginning, end or type of the
161     selection will be honored.
162    
163     Returning a true value aborts selection making by urxvt, in which case you
164     have to make a selection yourself by calling C<< $term->selection_grab >>.
165    
166     =item on_sel_grab $term, $eventtime
167    
168     Called whenever a selection has been copied, but before the selection is
169     requested from the server. The selection text can be queried and changed
170     by calling C<< $term->selection >>.
171    
172     Returning a true value aborts selection grabbing. It will still be hilighted.
173    
174 root 1.22 =item on_sel_extend $term
175    
176     Called whenever the user tries to extend the selection (e.g. with a double
177     click) and is either supposed to return false (normal operation), or
178     should extend the selection itelf and return true to suppress the built-in
179     processing.
180    
181     See the F<selection> example extension.
182    
183 root 1.1 =item on_focus_in $term
184    
185     Called whenever the window gets the keyboard focus, before urxvt does
186     focus in processing.
187    
188     =item on_focus_out $term
189    
190     Called wheneever the window loses keyboard focus, before urxvt does focus
191     out processing.
192    
193     =item on_view_change $term, $offset
194    
195     Called whenever the view offset changes, i..e the user or program
196     scrolls. Offset C<0> means display the normal terminal, positive values
197     show this many lines of scrollback.
198    
199     =item on_scroll_back $term, $lines, $saved
200    
201     Called whenever lines scroll out of the terminal area into the scrollback
202     buffer. C<$lines> is the number of lines scrolled out and may be larger
203     than the scroll back buffer or the terminal.
204    
205     It is called before lines are scrolled out (so rows 0 .. min ($lines - 1,
206     $nrow - 1) represent the lines to be scrolled out). C<$saved> is the total
207     number of lines that will be in the scrollback buffer.
208    
209     =item on_tty_activity $term *NYI*
210    
211     Called whenever the program(s) running in the urxvt window send output.
212    
213 root 1.28 =item on_osc_seq $term, $string
214    
215 root 1.29 Called whenever the B<ESC ] 777 ; string ST> command sequence (OSC =
216     operating system command) is processed. Cursor position and other state
217     information is up-to-date when this happens. For interoperability, the
218     string should start with the extension name and a colon, to distinguish
219     it from commands for other extensions, and this might be enforced in the
220     future.
221    
222     Be careful not ever to trust (in a security sense) the data you receive,
223     as its source can not easily be controleld (e-mail content, messages from
224     other users on the same system etc.).
225 root 1.28
226 root 1.33 =item on_add_lines $term, $string
227    
228     Called whenever text is about to be output, with the text as argument. You
229     can filter/change and output the text yourself by returning a true value
230     and calling C<< $term->scr_add_lines >> yourself. Please note that this
231     might be very slow, however, as your hook is called for B<all> text being
232     output.
233    
234 root 1.35 =item on_line_update $term, $row
235    
236     Called whenever a line was updated or changed. Can be used to filter
237     screen output (e.g. underline urls or other useless stuff). Only lines
238     that are being shown will be filtered, and, due to performance reasons,
239     not always immediately.
240    
241     The row number is always the topmost row of the line if the line spans
242     multiple rows.
243    
244     Please note that, if you change the line, then the hook might get called
245     later with the already-modified line (e.g. if unrelated parts change), so
246     you cannot just toggle rendition bits, but only set them.
247    
248 root 1.1 =item on_refresh_begin $term
249    
250     Called just before the screen gets redrawn. Can be used for overlay
251     or similar effects by modify terminal contents in refresh_begin, and
252     restoring them in refresh_end. The built-in overlay and selection display
253     code is run after this hook, and takes precedence.
254    
255     =item on_refresh_end $term
256    
257     Called just after the screen gets redrawn. See C<on_refresh_begin>.
258    
259 root 1.11 =item on_keyboard_command $term, $string
260    
261     Called whenever the user presses a key combination that has a
262     C<perl:string> action bound to it (see description of the B<keysym>
263     resource in the @@RXVT_NAME@@(1) manpage).
264    
265 root 1.38 =item on_key_press $term, $event, $octets
266 root 1.37
267     =item on_key_release $term, $event
268    
269     =item on_button_press $term, $event
270    
271     =item on_button_release $term, $event
272    
273     =item on_motion_notify $term, $event
274    
275 root 1.39 Called whenever the corresponding X event is received for the terminal If
276     the hook returns true, then the even will be ignored by rxvt-unicode.
277    
278     The event is a hash with most values as named by Xlib (see the XEvent
279     manpage), with the additional members C<row> and C<col>, which are the row
280     and column under the mouse cursor.
281 root 1.38
282     C<on_key_press> additionally receives the string rxvt-unicode would
283     output, if any, in locale-specific encoding.
284 root 1.37

292    
293     =item $urxvt::TERM
294    
295 root 1.43 The current terminal. This variable stores the current C<urxvt::term>
296     object, whenever a callback/hook is executing.

301    
302     =over 4
303    
304 root 1.36 =item $term = new urxvt [arg...]
305    
306     Creates a new terminal, very similar as if you had started it with
307     C<system $binfile, arg...>. Croaks (and probably outputs an error message)
308     if the new instance couldn't be created. Returns C<undef> if the new
309     instance didn't initialise perl, and the terminal object otherwise. The
310     C<init> and C<start> hooks will be called during the call.
311    
312 root 1.1 =item urxvt::fatal $errormessage
313    
314     Fatally aborts execution with the given error message. Avoid at all
315     costs! The only time this is acceptable is when the terminal process
316     starts up.
317    
318     =item urxvt::warn $string
319    
320 root 1.6 Calls C<rxvt_warn> with the given string which should not include a
321 root 1.1 newline. The module also overwrites the C<warn> builtin with a function
322     that calls this function.
323    
324     Using this function has the advantage that its output ends up in the
325     correct place, e.g. on stderr of the connecting urxvtc client.
326    
327     =item $time = urxvt::NOW
328    
329     Returns the "current time" (as per the event loop).

331 root 1.21 =back
332    
333 root 1.18 =head2 RENDITION
334    
335     Rendition bitsets contain information about colour, font, font styles and
336     similar information for each screen cell.
337    
338     The following "macros" deal with changes in rendition sets. You should
339     never just create a bitset, you should always modify an existing one,
340     as they contain important information required for correct operation of
341     rxvt-unicode.
342    
343     =over 4
344    
345     =item $rend = urxvt::DEFAULT_RSTYLE
346    
347     Returns the default rendition, as used when the terminal is starting up or
348     being reset. Useful as a base to start when creating renditions.
349    
350     =item $rend = urxvt::OVERLAY_RSTYLE
351    
352     Return the rendition mask used for overlays by default.
353    
354     =item $rendbit = urxvt::RS_Bold, RS_Italic, RS_Blink, RS_RVid, RS_Uline
355    
356     Return the bit that enabled bold, italic, blink, reverse-video and
357 root 1.19 underline, respectively. To enable such a style, just logically OR it into
358     the bitset.
359 root 1.18
360     =item $foreground = urxvt::GET_BASEFG $rend
361    
362     =item $background = urxvt::GET_BASEBG $rend
363    
364     Return the foreground/background colour index, respectively.
365    
366     =item $rend = urxvt::SET_FGCOLOR ($rend, $new_colour)
367    
368     =item $rend = urxvt::SET_BGCOLOR ($rend, $new_colour)
369    
370     Replace the foreground/background colour in the rendition mask with the
371     specified one.
372    
373 root 1.19 =item $value = urxvt::GET_CUSTOM ($rend)
374    
375     Return the "custom" value: Every rendition has 5 bits for use by
376     extensions. They can be set and changed as you like and are initially
377     zero.
378    
379     =item $rend = urxvt::SET_CUSTOM ($rend, $new_value)

543    
544     Returns the current resource value associated with a given name and

546     hook. Unset resources are returned and accepted as C<undef>.
547    
548     The new value must be properly encoded to a suitable character encoding
549     before passing it to this method. Similarly, the returned value may need
550     to be converted from the used encoding to text.
551    
552     Resource names are as defined in F<src/rsinc.h>. Colours can be specified

554     likely change).

684     codes), but is free to use line feeds, carriage returns and tabs. The
685     string is a normal text string, not in locale-dependent encoding.
686    
687     Normally its not a good idea to use this function, as programs might be

689     C<on_add_lines> hook, though.
690

692    
693     Similar to C<scr_add_lines>, but the argument must be in the

738    
739     Returns the negative row number of the topmost line. Minimum value is
740     C<0>, which displays the normal terminal contents. Larger values scroll
741     this many lines into the scrollback buffer.
742    
743 root 1.14 =item $term->want_refresh
744    
745     Requests a screen refresh. At the next opportunity, rxvt-unicode will
746     compare the on-screen display with its stored representation. If they
747     differ, it redraws the differences.
748    
749     Used after changing terminal contents to display them.
750    
751 root 1.13 =item $text = $term->ROW_t ($row_number[, $new_text[, $start_col]])
752 root 1.12
753     Returns the text of the entire row with number C<$row_number>. Row C<0>
754     is the topmost terminal line, row C<< $term->$ncol-1 >> is the bottommost
755     terminal line. The scrollback buffer starts at line C<-1> and extends to
756 root 1.24 line C<< -$term->nsaved >>. Nothing will be returned if a nonexistent line
757     is requested.
758 root 1.12
759 root 1.13 If C<$new_text> is specified, it will replace characters in the current
760     line, starting at column C<$start_col> (default C<0>), which is useful
761 root 1.18 to replace only parts of a line. The font index in the rendition will
762 root 1.13 automatically be updated.
763 root 1.12
764     C<$text> is in a special encoding: tabs and wide characters that use more
765     than one cell when displayed are padded with urxvt::NOCHAR characters
766     (C<chr 65535>). Characters with combining characters and other characters
767     that do not fit into the normal tetx encoding will be replaced with
768     characters in the private use area.
769    
770     You have to obey this encoding when changing text. The advantage is
771     that C<substr> and similar functions work on screen cells and not on
772     characters.
773    
774     The methods C<< $term->special_encode >> and C<< $term->special_decode >>
775     can be used to convert normal strings into this encoding and vice versa.
776    
777 root 1.13 =item $rend = $term->ROW_r ($row_number[, $new_rend[, $start_col]])
778    
779     Like C<< $term->ROW_t >>, but returns an arrayref with rendition
780     bitsets. Rendition bitsets contain information about colour, font, font
781     styles and similar information. See also C<< $term->ROW_t >>.
782    
783     When setting rendition, the font mask will be ignored.

788    
789 root 1.24 Returns the number of screen cells that are in use ("the line
790     length"). Unlike the urxvt core, this returns C<< $term->ncol >> if the
791     line is joined with the following one.
792    
793     =item $bool = $term->is_longer ($row_number)
794    
795     Returns true if the row is part of a multiple-row logical "line" (i.e.
796     joined with the following row), which means all characters are in use
797     and it is continued on the next row (and possibly a continuation of the
798     previous row(s)).
799    
800     =item $line = $term->line ($row_number)
801    
802     Create and return a new C<urxvt::line> object that stores information
803     about the logical line that row C<$row_number> is part of. It supports the
804     following methods:
805 root 1.12

813 root 1.24
814 root 1.35 Returns or replaces the full rendition array of the line, similar to C<ROW_r>
815 root 1.24
816     =item $length = $line->l
