20     =head1 DESCRIPTION
21    
22 root 1.44 Everytime a terminal object gets created, extension scripts specified via
23     the C<perl> resource are loaded and associated with it.
24 root 1.10
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.

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:

62    
63 root 1.20 Displays a digital clock using the built-in overlay.

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 root 1.44 and extension package. You can call all C<urxvt::term> methods on it, but
126 root 1.23 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 root 1.44 member. It is, however, blessed intot he package of the extension script,
129     so for all practical purposes you can treat an extension script as a class.
130 root 1.1
131     All of them must return a boolean value. If it is true, then the event
132     counts as being I<consumed>, and the invocation of other hooks is skipped,
133     and the relevant action might not be carried out by the C++ code.
134    
135     When in doubt, return a false value (preferably C<()>).
136    
137     =over 4
138    
139     =item on_init $term
140    
141     Called after a new terminal object has been initialized, but before
142 root 1.36 windows are created or the command gets run. Most methods are unsafe to
143     call or deliver senseless data, as terminal size and other characteristics
144     have not yet been determined. You can safely query and change resources,
145     though.
146 root 1.1
147     =item on_reset $term
148    
149     Called after the screen is "reset" for any reason, such as resizing or
150     control sequences. Here is where you can react on changes to size-related
151     variables.
152    
153     =item on_start $term
154    
155     Called at the very end of initialisation of a new terminal, just before
156     returning to the mainloop.
157    
158     =item on_sel_make $term, $eventtime
159    
160     Called whenever a selection has been made by the user, but before the
161     selection text is copied, so changes to the beginning, end or type of the
162     selection will be honored.
163    
164     Returning a true value aborts selection making by urxvt, in which case you
165     have to make a selection yourself by calling C<< $term->selection_grab >>.
166    
167     =item on_sel_grab $term, $eventtime
168    
169     Called whenever a selection has been copied, but before the selection is
170     requested from the server. The selection text can be queried and changed
171     by calling C<< $term->selection >>.
172    
173     Returning a true value aborts selection grabbing. It will still be hilighted.
174    
175 root 1.22 =item on_sel_extend $term
176    
177     Called whenever the user tries to extend the selection (e.g. with a double
178     click) and is either supposed to return false (normal operation), or
179     should extend the selection itelf and return true to suppress the built-in
180     processing.
181    
182     See the F<selection> example extension.
183    
184 root 1.1 =item on_view_change $term, $offset
185    
186     Called whenever the view offset changes, i..e the user or program
187     scrolls. Offset C<0> means display the normal terminal, positive values
188     show this many lines of scrollback.
189    
190     =item on_scroll_back $term, $lines, $saved
191    
192     Called whenever lines scroll out of the terminal area into the scrollback
193     buffer. C<$lines> is the number of lines scrolled out and may be larger
194     than the scroll back buffer or the terminal.
195    
196     It is called before lines are scrolled out (so rows 0 .. min ($lines - 1,
197     $nrow - 1) represent the lines to be scrolled out). C<$saved> is the total
198     number of lines that will be in the scrollback buffer.
199    
200     =item on_tty_activity $term *NYI*
201    
202     Called whenever the program(s) running in the urxvt window send output.
203    
204 root 1.28 =item on_osc_seq $term, $string
205    
206 root 1.29 Called whenever the B<ESC ] 777 ; string ST> command sequence (OSC =
207     operating system command) is processed. Cursor position and other state
208     information is up-to-date when this happens. For interoperability, the
209     string should start with the extension name and a colon, to distinguish
210     it from commands for other extensions, and this might be enforced in the
211     future.
212    
213     Be careful not ever to trust (in a security sense) the data you receive,
214     as its source can not easily be controleld (e-mail content, messages from
215     other users on the same system etc.).
216 root 1.28
217 root 1.33 =item on_add_lines $term, $string
218    
219     Called whenever text is about to be output, with the text as argument. You
220     can filter/change and output the text yourself by returning a true value
221     and calling C<< $term->scr_add_lines >> yourself. Please note that this
222     might be very slow, however, as your hook is called for B<all> text being
223     output.
224    
225 root 1.35 =item on_line_update $term, $row
226    
227     Called whenever a line was updated or changed. Can be used to filter
228     screen output (e.g. underline urls or other useless stuff). Only lines
229     that are being shown will be filtered, and, due to performance reasons,
230     not always immediately.
231    
232     The row number is always the topmost row of the line if the line spans
233     multiple rows.
234    
235     Please note that, if you change the line, then the hook might get called
236     later with the already-modified line (e.g. if unrelated parts change), so
237     you cannot just toggle rendition bits, but only set them.
238    
239 root 1.1 =item on_refresh_begin $term
240    
241     Called just before the screen gets redrawn. Can be used for overlay
242     or similar effects by modify terminal contents in refresh_begin, and
243     restoring them in refresh_end. The built-in overlay and selection display
244     code is run after this hook, and takes precedence.
245    
246     =item on_refresh_end $term
247    
248     Called just after the screen gets redrawn. See C<on_refresh_begin>.
249    
250 root 1.11 =item on_keyboard_command $term, $string
251    
252     Called whenever the user presses a key combination that has a
253     C<perl:string> action bound to it (see description of the B<keysym>
254     resource in the @@RXVT_NAME@@(1) manpage).
255    
256 root 1.45 =item on_focus_in $term
257    
258     Called whenever the window gets the keyboard focus, before rxvt-unicode
259     does focus in processing.
260    
261     =item on_focus_out $term
262    
263     Called wheneever the window loses keyboard focus, before rxvt-unicode does
264     focus out processing.
265    
266 root 1.38 =item on_key_press $term, $event, $octets
267 root 1.37
268     =item on_key_release $term, $event
269    
270     =item on_button_press $term, $event
271    
272     =item on_button_release $term, $event
273    
274     =item on_motion_notify $term, $event
275    
276 root 1.45 =item on_map_notify $term, $event
277    
278     =item on_unmap_notify $term, $event
279    
280 root 1.39 Called whenever the corresponding X event is received for the terminal If
281     the hook returns true, then the even will be ignored by rxvt-unicode.
282    
283     The event is a hash with most values as named by Xlib (see the XEvent
284     manpage), with the additional members C<row> and C<col>, which are the row
285     and column under the mouse cursor.
286 root 1.38
287     C<on_key_press> additionally receives the string rxvt-unicode would
288     output, if any, in locale-specific encoding.

298     =item $urxvt::TERM
299

301     object, whenever a callback/hook is executing.

308    
309 root 1.36 =item $term = new urxvt [arg...]
310    
311     Creates a new terminal, very similar as if you had started it with
312     C<system $binfile, arg...>. Croaks (and probably outputs an error message)
313     if the new instance couldn't be created. Returns C<undef> if the new
314     instance didn't initialise perl, and the terminal object otherwise. The
315     C<init> and C<start> hooks will be called during the call.
316    
317 root 1.1 =item urxvt::fatal $errormessage
318    
319     Fatally aborts execution with the given error message. Avoid at all
320     costs! The only time this is acceptable is when the terminal process
321     starts up.
322    
323     =item urxvt::warn $string
324    
325 root 1.6 Calls C<rxvt_warn> with the given string which should not include a
326 root 1.1 newline. The module also overwrites the C<warn> builtin with a function
327     that calls this function.
328    
329     Using this function has the advantage that its output ends up in the
330     correct place, e.g. on stderr of the connecting urxvtc client.
331    
332     =item $time = urxvt::NOW
333    
334     Returns the "current time" (as per the event loop).

346 root 1.18 =head2 RENDITION
347    
348     Rendition bitsets contain information about colour, font, font styles and
349     similar information for each screen cell.
350    
351     The following "macros" deal with changes in rendition sets. You should
352     never just create a bitset, you should always modify an existing one,
353     as they contain important information required for correct operation of
354     rxvt-unicode.
355    
356     =over 4
357    
358     =item $rend = urxvt::DEFAULT_RSTYLE
359    
360     Returns the default rendition, as used when the terminal is starting up or
361     being reset. Useful as a base to start when creating renditions.
362    
363     =item $rend = urxvt::OVERLAY_RSTYLE
364    
365     Return the rendition mask used for overlays by default.
366    
367     =item $rendbit = urxvt::RS_Bold, RS_Italic, RS_Blink, RS_RVid, RS_Uline
368    
369     Return the bit that enabled bold, italic, blink, reverse-video and
370 root 1.19 underline, respectively. To enable such a style, just logically OR it into
371     the bitset.
372 root 1.18
373     =item $foreground = urxvt::GET_BASEFG $rend
374    
375     =item $background = urxvt::GET_BASEBG $rend

380    
381     =item $rend = urxvt::SET_BGCOLOR ($rend, $new_colour)
382    
383     Replace the foreground/background colour in the rendition mask with the
384     specified one.
385    
386 root 1.19 =item $value = urxvt::GET_CUSTOM ($rend)
387    
388     Return the "custom" value: Every rendition has 5 bits for use by
389     extensions. They can be set and changed as you like and are initially
390     zero.
391    
392     =item $rend = urxvt::SET_CUSTOM ($rend, $new_value)

738    
739     Normally its not a good idea to use this function, as programs might be

797    
798 root 1.12 =item $view_start = $term->view_start ([$newvalue])
799    
800     Returns the negative row number of the topmost line. Minimum value is
801     C<0>, which displays the normal terminal contents. Larger values scroll
802     this many lines into the scrollback buffer.
803    
804 root 1.14 =item $term->want_refresh
805    
806     Requests a screen refresh. At the next opportunity, rxvt-unicode will
807     compare the on-screen display with its stored representation. If they
808     differ, it redraws the differences.
809    
810     Used after changing terminal contents to display them.

812 root 1.13 =item $text = $term->ROW_t ($row_number[, $new_text[, $start_col]])
813 root 1.12
814     Returns the text of the entire row with number C<$row_number>. Row C<0>
815     is the topmost terminal line, row C<< $term->$ncol-1 >> is the bottommost
816     terminal line. The scrollback buffer starts at line C<-1> and extends to
817 root 1.24 line C<< -$term->nsaved >>. Nothing will be returned if a nonexistent line
818     is requested.
819 root 1.12
820 root 1.13 If C<$new_text> is specified, it will replace characters in the current
821     line, starting at column C<$start_col> (default C<0>), which is useful
822 root 1.18 to replace only parts of a line. The font index in the rendition will
823 root 1.13 automatically be updated.
824 root 1.12
825     C<$text> is in a special encoding: tabs and wide characters that use more
826     than one cell when displayed are padded with urxvt::NOCHAR characters
827     (C<chr 65535>). Characters with combining characters and other characters
828     that do not fit into the normal tetx encoding will be replaced with
829     characters in the private use area.
830    
831     You have to obey this encoding when changing text. The advantage is
832     that C<substr> and similar functions work on screen cells and not on
833     characters.
834    
835     The methods C<< $term->special_encode >> and C<< $term->special_decode >>
836     can be used to convert normal strings into this encoding and vice versa.
837    
838 root 1.13 =item $rend = $term->ROW_r ($row_number[, $new_rend[, $start_col]])
839    
840     Like C<< $term->ROW_t >>, but returns an arrayref with rendition
841     bitsets. Rendition bitsets contain information about colour, font, font
842     styles and similar information. See also C<< $term->ROW_t >>.
843    
844     When setting rendition, the font mask will be ignored.

847 root 1.13
848     =item $length = $term->ROW_l ($row_number[, $new_length])
849    
850 root 1.24 Returns the number of screen cells that are in use ("the line
851     length"). Unlike the urxvt core, this returns C<< $term->ncol >> if the
852     line is joined with the following one.
853    
854     =item $bool = $term->is_longer ($row_number)
855    
856     Returns true if the row is part of a multiple-row logical "line" (i.e.
857     joined with the following row), which means all characters are in use
858     and it is continued on the next row (and possibly a continuation of the
859     previous row(s)).
860    
861     =item $line = $term->line ($row_number)
862    
863     Create and return a new C<urxvt::line> object that stores information

1025 root 1.1 =head2 The C<urxvt::timer> Class
1026    
1027     This class implements timer watchers/events. Time is represented as a
1028     fractional number of seconds since the epoch. Example:
1029    
1030 root 1.20 $term->{overlay} = $term->overlay (-1, 0, 8, 1, urxvt::OVERLAY_RSTYLE, 0);
1031 root 1.1 $term->{timer} = urxvt::timer
1032     ->new
1033 root 1.20 ->interval (1)
1034 root 1.1 ->cb (sub {
1035 root 1.20 $term->{overlay}->set (0, 0,
1036     sprintf "%2d:%02d:%02d", (localtime urxvt::NOW)[2,1,0]);
1037     });
1038 root 1.1
1039     =over 4
1040    
1041     =item $timer = new urxvt::timer
1042    
1043 root 1.20 Create a new timer object in started state. It is scheduled to fire
1044     immediately.
1045 root 1.1
1046     =item $timer = $timer->cb (sub { my ($timer) = @_; ... })
1047    
1048     Set the callback to be called when the timer triggers.
1049    
1050     =item $tstamp = $timer->at
1051    
1052     Return the time this watcher will fire next.
1053    
1054     =item $timer = $timer->set ($tstamp)
1055    
1056     Set the time the event is generated to $tstamp.
1057    
1058 root 1.20 =item $timer = $timer->interval ($interval)
1059    
1060     Normally (and when C<$interval> is C<0>), the timer will automatically
1061     stop after it has fired once. If C<$interval> is non-zero, then the timer
1062     is automatically rescheduled at the given intervals.
1063    
1064 root 1.1 =item $timer = $timer->start
1065    
1066     Start the timer.
1067    
1068     =item $timer = $timer->start ($tstamp)
1069    
1070     Set the event trigger time to C<$tstamp> and start the timer.
1071    
1072     =item $timer = $timer->stop
1073    
1074     Stop the timer.

1078     =head2 The C<urxvt::iow> Class
1079    
1080     This class implements io watchers/events. Example:
1081    
1082     $term->{socket} = ...
1083     $term->{iow} = urxvt::iow
1084     ->new
1085     ->fd (fileno $term->{socket})
1086     ->events (1) # wait for read data
1087     ->start
1088     ->cb (sub {
1089     my ($iow, $revents) = @_;
1090     # $revents must be 1 here, no need to check
1091     sysread $term->{socket}, my $buf, 8192
1092     or end-of-file;
1093     });

1095    
1096     =over 4
1097    
1098     =item $iow = new urxvt::iow
1099    
1100     Create a new io watcher object in stopped state.
1101    
1102     =item $iow = $iow->cb (sub { my ($iow, $reventmask) = @_; ... })
1103    
1104     Set the callback to be called when io events are triggered. C<$reventmask>
1105     is a bitset as described in the C<events> method.
1106    
1107     =item $iow = $iow->fd ($fd)
1108    
1109     Set the filedescriptor (not handle) to watch.
1110    
1111     =item $iow = $iow->events ($eventmask)
1112    
1113     Set the event mask to watch. Bit #0 (value C<1>) enables watching for read
1114     data, Bit #1 (value C<2>) enables watching for write data.
1115    
1116     =item $iow = $iow->start
1117    
1118     Start watching for requested events on the given handle.
1119    
1120     =item $iow = $iow->stop
1121    
1122     Stop watching for events on the given filehandle.
