18 =head1 DESCRIPTION
19
20 Everytime a terminal object gets created, scripts specified via the
21 C<perl> resource are loaded and associated with it.
22
23 Scripts are compiled in a 'use strict' and 'use utf8' environment, and
24 thus must be encoded as UTF-8.
25
26 Each script will only ever be loaded once, even in @@RXVT_NAME@@d, where
27 scripts will be shared (But not enabled) for all terminals.
28
29 =head2 General API Considerations
30
31 All objects (such as terminals, time watchers etc.) are typical
32 reference-to-hash objects. The hash can be used to store anything you
33 like. All members starting with an underscore (such as C<_ptr> or
34 C<_hook>) are reserved for internal uses and must not be accessed or
35 modified).
36
37 When objects are destroyed on the C++ side, the perl object hashes are
38 emptied, so its best to store related objects such as time watchers and
39 the like inside the terminal object so they get destroyed as soon as the
40 terminal is destroyed.
41
42 =head2 Hooks
43
44 The following subroutines can be declared in loaded scripts, and will be called
45 whenever the relevant event happens.
46
47 All of them must return a boolean value. If it is true, then the event
48 counts as being I<consumed>, and the invocation of other hooks is skipped,
49 and the relevant action might not be carried out by the C++ code.
50
51 When in doubt, return a false value (preferably C<()>).
52
53 =over 4
54
55 =item on_init $term
56
57 Called after a new terminal object has been initialized, but before
58 windows are created or the command gets run.
59
60 =item on_reset $term
61
62 Called after the screen is "reset" for any reason, such as resizing or
63 control sequences. Here is where you can react on changes to size-related
64 variables.
65
66 =item on_start $term
67
68 Called at the very end of initialisation of a new terminal, just before
69 returning to the mainloop.
70
71 =item on_sel_make $term, $eventtime
72
73 Called whenever a selection has been made by the user, but before the
74 selection text is copied, so changes to the beginning, end or type of the
75 selection will be honored.
76
77 Returning a true value aborts selection making by urxvt, in which case you
78 have to make a selection yourself by calling C<< $term->selection_grab >>.
79
80 =item on_sel_grab $term, $eventtime
81
82 Called whenever a selection has been copied, but before the selection is
83 requested from the server. The selection text can be queried and changed
84 by calling C<< $term->selection >>.
85
86 Returning a true value aborts selection grabbing. It will still be hilighted.
87
88 =item on_focus_in $term
89
90 Called whenever the window gets the keyboard focus, before urxvt does
91 focus in processing.
92
93 =item on_focus_out $term
94
95 Called wheneever the window loses keyboard focus, before urxvt does focus
96 out processing.
97
98 =item on_view_change $term, $offset
99
100 Called whenever the view offset changes, i..e the user or program
101 scrolls. Offset C<0> means display the normal terminal, positive values
102 show this many lines of scrollback.
103
104 =item on_scroll_back $term, $lines, $saved
105
106 Called whenever lines scroll out of the terminal area into the scrollback
107 buffer. C<$lines> is the number of lines scrolled out and may be larger
108 than the scroll back buffer or the terminal.
109
110 It is called before lines are scrolled out (so rows 0 .. min ($lines - 1,
111 $nrow - 1) represent the lines to be scrolled out). C<$saved> is the total
112 number of lines that will be in the scrollback buffer.
113
114 =item on_tty_activity $term *NYI*
115
116 Called whenever the program(s) running in the urxvt window send output.
117
118 =item on_refresh_begin $term
119
120 Called just before the screen gets redrawn. Can be used for overlay
121 or similar effects by modify terminal contents in refresh_begin, and
122 restoring them in refresh_end. The built-in overlay and selection display
123 code is run after this hook, and takes precedence.
124
125 =item on_refresh_end $term
126
127 Called just after the screen gets redrawn. See C<on_refresh_begin>.
128
129 =item on_keyboard_command $term, $string
130
131 Called whenever the user presses a key combination that has a
132 C<perl:string> action bound to it (see description of the B<keysym>
133 resource in the @@RXVT_NAME@@(1) manpage).

140
141 =item urxvt::fatal $errormessage
142
143 Fatally aborts execution with the given error message. Avoid at all
144 costs! The only time this is acceptable is when the terminal process
145 starts up.
146
147 =item urxvt::warn $string
148
149 Calls C<rxvt_warn> with the given string which should not include a
150 newline. The module also overwrites the C<warn> builtin with a function
151 that calls this function.
152
153 Using this function has the advantage that its output ends up in the
154 correct place, e.g. on stderr of the connecting urxvtc client.
155
156 =item $time = urxvt::NOW
157
158 Returns the "current time" (as per the event loop).

278
279 =item $value = $term->resource ($name[, $newval])
280
281 Returns the current resource value associated with a given name and
282 optionally sets a new value. Setting values is most useful in the C<init>
283 hook. Unset resources are returned and accepted as C<undef>.
284
285 The new value must be properly encoded to a suitable character encoding
286 before passing it to this method. Similarly, the returned value may need
287 to be converted from the used encoding to text.
288
289 Resource names are as defined in F<src/rsinc.h>. Colours can be specified
290 as resource names of the form C<< color+<index> >>, e.g. C<color+5>. (will
291 likely change).
292
293 Please note that resource strings will currently only be freed when the
294 terminal is destroyed, so changing options frequently will eat memory.

324
325 =item ($row, $col) = $term->selection_end ([$row, $col])

327 Return the current values of the selection mark, begin or end positions,
328 and optionally set them to new values.
329
330 =item $success = $term->selection_grab ($eventtime)
331
332 Try to request the primary selection from the server (for example, as set
333 by the next method).
334
335 =item $oldtext = $term->selection ([$newtext])
336
337 Return the current selection text and optionally replace it by C<$newtext>.
338

357 }
358
359 =item $term->scr_overlay_new ($x, $y, $width, $height)
360
361 Create a new (empty) overlay at the given position with the given
362 width/height. A border will be put around the box. If either C<$x> or
363 C<$y> is negative, then this is counted from the right/bottom side,
364 respectively.
365
366 =item $term->scr_overlay_off
367
368 Switch the overlay off again.
369
370 =item $term->scr_overlay_set_char ($x, $y, $char, $rend = OVERLAY_RSTYLE)
371
372 Put a single character (specified numerically) at the given overlay
373 position.
374
375 =item $term->scr_overlay_set ($x, $y, $text)
376
377 Write a string at the given position into the overlay.
378
379 =item $cellwidth = $term->strwidth $string
380
381 Returns the number of screen-cells this string would need. Correctly
382 accounts for wide and combining characters.
383
384 =item $octets = $term->locale_encode $string
385
386 Convert the given text string into the corresponding locale encoding.
387
388 =item $string = $term->locale_decode $octets
389
390 Convert the given locale-encoded octets into a perl string.
391
392 =item $term->tt_write ($octets)
393
394 Write the octets given in C<$data> to the tty (i.e. as program input). To
395 pass characters instead of octets, you should convert your strings first
396 to the locale-specific encoding using C<< $term->locale_encode >>.
397
398 =item $nrow = $term->nrow
399
400 =item $ncol = $term->ncol
401
402 Return the number of rows/columns of the terminal window (i.e. as
403 specified by C<-geometry>, excluding any scrollback).
404
405 =item $nsaved = $term->nsaved
406
407 Returns the number of lines in the scrollback buffer.
408
409 =item $view_start = $term->view_start ([$newvalue])
410
411 Returns the negative row number of the topmost line. Minimum value is
412 C<0>, which displays the normal terminal contents. Larger values scroll
413 this many lines into the scrollback buffer.
414
415 =item $term->want_refresh
416
417 Requests a screen refresh. At the next opportunity, rxvt-unicode will
418 compare the on-screen display with its stored representation. If they
419 differ, it redraws the differences.
420
421 Used after changing terminal contents to display them.
422
423 =item $text = $term->ROW_t ($row_number[, $new_text[, $start_col]])
424
425 Returns the text of the entire row with number C<$row_number>. Row C<0>
426 is the topmost terminal line, row C<< $term->$ncol-1 >> is the bottommost
427 terminal line. The scrollback buffer starts at line C<-1> and extends to
428 line C<< -$term->nsaved >>.
429
430 If C<$new_text> is specified, it will replace characters in the current
431 line, starting at column C<$start_col> (default C<0>), which is useful
432 to replace only parts of a line. The font iindex in the rendition will
433 automatically be updated.
434
435 C<$text> is in a special encoding: tabs and wide characters that use more
436 than one cell when displayed are padded with urxvt::NOCHAR characters
437 (C<chr 65535>). Characters with combining characters and other characters
438 that do not fit into the normal tetx encoding will be replaced with
439 characters in the private use area.
440
441 You have to obey this encoding when changing text. The advantage is
442 that C<substr> and similar functions work on screen cells and not on
443 characters.
444
445 The methods C<< $term->special_encode >> and C<< $term->special_decode >>
446 can be used to convert normal strings into this encoding and vice versa.
447
448 =item $rend = $term->ROW_r ($row_number[, $new_rend[, $start_col]])
449
450 Like C<< $term->ROW_t >>, but returns an arrayref with rendition
451 bitsets. Rendition bitsets contain information about colour, font, font
452 styles and similar information. See also C<< $term->ROW_t >>.
453
454 When setting rendition, the font mask will be ignored.
455
456 See the section on RENDITION, below.
457
458 =item $length = $term->ROW_l ($row_number[, $new_length])
459
460 Returns the number of screen cells that are in use ("the line length"). If
461 it is C<-1>, then the line is part of a multiple-row logical "line", which
462 means all characters are in use and it is continued on the next row.
463
464 =item $text = $term->special_encode $string
465
466 Converts a perl string into the special encoding used by rxvt-unicode,
467 where one character corresponds to one screen cell. See
468 C<< $term->ROW_t >> for details.
469
470 =item $string = $term->special_decode $text
471
472 Converts rxvt-unicodes text reprsentation into a perl string. See
473 C<< $term->ROW_t >> for details.

476
477 =head2 RENDITION
478
479 Rendition bitsets contain information about colour, font, font styles and
480 similar information for each screen cell.
481
482 The following "macros" deal with changes in rendition sets. You should
483 never just create a bitset, you should always modify an existing one,
484 as they contain important information required for correct operation of
485 rxvt-unicode.

503 # create a digital clock display in upper right corner
504 $term->{timer} = urxvt::timer
505 ->new
506 ->start (urxvt::NOW)

522
523 Set the callback to be called when the timer triggers.
524
525 =item $tstamp = $timer->at
526
527 Return the time this watcher will fire next.
528
529 =item $timer = $timer->set ($tstamp)
530
531 Set the time the event is generated to $tstamp.
532
533 =item $timer = $timer->start
534
535 Start the timer.
536
537 =item $timer = $timer->start ($tstamp)
538
539 Set the event trigger time to C<$tstamp> and start the timer.

546
547 =head2 The C<urxvt::iow> Class
548
549 This class implements io watchers/events. Example:

552 $term->{iow} = urxvt::iow
553 ->new
554 ->fd (fileno $term->{socket})
555 ->events (1) # wait for read data
556 ->start
557 ->cb (sub {
558 my ($iow, $revents) = @_;
559 # $revents must be 1 here, no need to check

573 Set the callback to be called when io events are triggered. C<$reventmask>
574 is a bitset as described in the C<events> method.
575
576 =item $iow = $iow->fd ($fd)
577
578 Set the filedescriptor (not handle) to watch.
579
580 =item $iow = $iow->events ($eventmask)
581
582 Set the event mask to watch. Bit #0 (value C<1>) enables watching for read
583 data, Bit #1 (value C<2>) enables watching for write data.
584
585 =item $iow = $iow->start
586
587 Start watching for requested events on the given handle.
588
589 =item $iow = $iow->stop
