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.

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

54 =item digital-clock
55
56 Displays a very simple digital clock in the upper right corner of the
57 window. Illustrates overwriting the refresh callbacks to create your own
58 overlays or changes.
59
60 =item simple-overlay-clock
61
62 Displays a digital clock using the built-in overlay (colorful, useless).

65
66 =head2 General API Considerations
67
68 All objects (such as terminals, time watchers etc.) are typical
69 reference-to-hash objects. The hash can be used to store anything you
70 like. All members starting with an underscore (such as C<_ptr> or
71 C<_hook>) are reserved for internal uses and must not be accessed or
72 modified).
73
74 When objects are destroyed on the C++ side, the perl object hashes are
75 emptied, so its best to store related objects such as time watchers and
76 the like inside the terminal object so they get destroyed as soon as the
77 terminal is destroyed.
78
79 =head2 Hooks
80
81 The following subroutines can be declared in loaded scripts, and will be called
82 whenever the relevant event happens.
83
84 All of them must return a boolean value. If it is true, then the event
85 counts as being I<consumed>, and the invocation of other hooks is skipped,
86 and the relevant action might not be carried out by the C++ code.
87
88 When in doubt, return a false value (preferably C<()>).
89
90 =over 4
91
92 =item on_init $term
93
94 Called after a new terminal object has been initialized, but before
95 windows are created or the command gets run.
96
97 =item on_reset $term
98
99 Called after the screen is "reset" for any reason, such as resizing or
100 control sequences. Here is where you can react on changes to size-related
101 variables.
102
103 =item on_start $term
104
105 Called at the very end of initialisation of a new terminal, just before
106 returning to the mainloop.
107
108 =item on_sel_make $term, $eventtime
109
110 Called whenever a selection has been made by the user, but before the
111 selection text is copied, so changes to the beginning, end or type of the
112 selection will be honored.
113
114 Returning a true value aborts selection making by urxvt, in which case you
115 have to make a selection yourself by calling C<< $term->selection_grab >>.
116
117 =item on_sel_grab $term, $eventtime
118
119 Called whenever a selection has been copied, but before the selection is
120 requested from the server. The selection text can be queried and changed
121 by calling C<< $term->selection >>.
122
123 Returning a true value aborts selection grabbing. It will still be hilighted.
124
125 =item on_focus_in $term
126
127 Called whenever the window gets the keyboard focus, before urxvt does
128 focus in processing.
129
130 =item on_focus_out $term
131
132 Called wheneever the window loses keyboard focus, before urxvt does focus
133 out processing.
134
135 =item on_view_change $term, $offset
136
137 Called whenever the view offset changes, i..e the user or program
138 scrolls. Offset C<0> means display the normal terminal, positive values
139 show this many lines of scrollback.
140
141 =item on_scroll_back $term, $lines, $saved
142
143 Called whenever lines scroll out of the terminal area into the scrollback
144 buffer. C<$lines> is the number of lines scrolled out and may be larger
145 than the scroll back buffer or the terminal.
146
147 It is called before lines are scrolled out (so rows 0 .. min ($lines - 1,
148 $nrow - 1) represent the lines to be scrolled out). C<$saved> is the total
149 number of lines that will be in the scrollback buffer.
150
151 =item on_tty_activity $term *NYI*
152
153 Called whenever the program(s) running in the urxvt window send output.
154
155 =item on_refresh_begin $term
156
157 Called just before the screen gets redrawn. Can be used for overlay
158 or similar effects by modify terminal contents in refresh_begin, and
159 restoring them in refresh_end. The built-in overlay and selection display
160 code is run after this hook, and takes precedence.
161
162 =item on_refresh_end $term
163
164 Called just after the screen gets redrawn. See C<on_refresh_begin>.
165
166 =item on_keyboard_command $term, $string
167
168 Called whenever the user presses a key combination that has a
169 C<perl:string> action bound to it (see description of the B<keysym>
170 resource in the @@RXVT_NAME@@(1) manpage).

177
178 =item urxvt::fatal $errormessage
179
180 Fatally aborts execution with the given error message. Avoid at all
181 costs! The only time this is acceptable is when the terminal process
182 starts up.
183
184 =item urxvt::warn $string
185
186 Calls C<rxvt_warn> with the given string which should not include a
187 newline. The module also overwrites the C<warn> builtin with a function
188 that calls this function.
189
190 Using this function has the advantage that its output ends up in the
191 correct place, e.g. on stderr of the connecting urxvtc client.
192
193 =item $time = urxvt::NOW

315
316 =item $value = $term->resource ($name[, $newval])
317
318 Returns the current resource value associated with a given name and
319 optionally sets a new value. Setting values is most useful in the C<init>
320 hook. Unset resources are returned and accepted as C<undef>.
321
322 The new value must be properly encoded to a suitable character encoding
323 before passing it to this method. Similarly, the returned value may need
324 to be converted from the used encoding to text.
325
326 Resource names are as defined in F<src/rsinc.h>. Colours can be specified
327 as resource names of the form C<< color+<index> >>, e.g. C<color+5>. (will
328 likely change).
329
330 Please note that resource strings will currently only be freed when the
331 terminal is destroyed, so changing options frequently will eat memory.

365 and optionally set them to new values.
366
367 =item $success = $term->selection_grab ($eventtime)
368
369 Try to request the primary selection from the server (for example, as set
370 by the next method).

394 }
395
396 =item $term->scr_overlay_new ($x, $y, $width, $height)
397
398 Create a new (empty) overlay at the given position with the given
399 width/height. A border will be put around the box. If either C<$x> or
400 C<$y> is negative, then this is counted from the right/bottom side,
401 respectively.
402
403 =item $term->scr_overlay_off
404
405 Switch the overlay off again.
406
407 =item $term->scr_overlay_set_char ($x, $y, $char, $rend = OVERLAY_RSTYLE)
408
409 Put a single character (specified numerically) at the given overlay
410 position.
411
412 =item $term->scr_overlay_set ($x, $y, $text)
413
414 Write a string at the given position into the overlay.
415
416 =item $cellwidth = $term->strwidth $string
417
418 Returns the number of screen-cells this string would need. Correctly
419 accounts for wide and combining characters.
420
421 =item $octets = $term->locale_encode $string
422
423 Convert the given text string into the corresponding locale encoding.
424
425 =item $string = $term->locale_decode $octets
426
427 Convert the given locale-encoded octets into a perl string.
428
429 =item $term->tt_write ($octets)
430
431 Write the octets given in C<$data> to the tty (i.e. as program input). To
432 pass characters instead of octets, you should convert your strings first
433 to the locale-specific encoding using C<< $term->locale_encode >>.
434
435 =item $nrow = $term->nrow
436
437 =item $ncol = $term->ncol
438
439 Return the number of rows/columns of the terminal window (i.e. as
440 specified by C<-geometry>, excluding any scrollback).
441
442 =item $nsaved = $term->nsaved
443
444 Returns the number of lines in the scrollback buffer.
445
446 =item $view_start = $term->view_start ([$newvalue])
447
448 Returns the negative row number of the topmost line. Minimum value is
449 C<0>, which displays the normal terminal contents. Larger values scroll
450 this many lines into the scrollback buffer.
451
452 =item $term->want_refresh
453
454 Requests a screen refresh. At the next opportunity, rxvt-unicode will
455 compare the on-screen display with its stored representation. If they
456 differ, it redraws the differences.
457
458 Used after changing terminal contents to display them.
459
460 =item $text = $term->ROW_t ($row_number[, $new_text[, $start_col]])
461
462 Returns the text of the entire row with number C<$row_number>. Row C<0>
463 is the topmost terminal line, row C<< $term->$ncol-1 >> is the bottommost
464 terminal line. The scrollback buffer starts at line C<-1> and extends to
465 line C<< -$term->nsaved >>.
466
467 If C<$new_text> is specified, it will replace characters in the current
468 line, starting at column C<$start_col> (default C<0>), which is useful
469 to replace only parts of a line. The font iindex in the rendition will
470 automatically be updated.
471
472 C<$text> is in a special encoding: tabs and wide characters that use more
473 than one cell when displayed are padded with urxvt::NOCHAR characters
474 (C<chr 65535>). Characters with combining characters and other characters
475 that do not fit into the normal tetx encoding will be replaced with
476 characters in the private use area.
477
478 You have to obey this encoding when changing text. The advantage is
479 that C<substr> and similar functions work on screen cells and not on
480 characters.
481
482 The methods C<< $term->special_encode >> and C<< $term->special_decode >>
483 can be used to convert normal strings into this encoding and vice versa.
484
485 =item $rend = $term->ROW_r ($row_number[, $new_rend[, $start_col]])
486
487 Like C<< $term->ROW_t >>, but returns an arrayref with rendition
488 bitsets. Rendition bitsets contain information about colour, font, font
489 styles and similar information. See also C<< $term->ROW_t >>.
490
491 When setting rendition, the font mask will be ignored.
492
493 See the section on RENDITION, below.
494
495 =item $length = $term->ROW_l ($row_number[, $new_length])
496
497 Returns the number of screen cells that are in use ("the line length"). If
498 it is C<-1>, then the line is part of a multiple-row logical "line", which
499 means all characters are in use and it is continued on the next row.
500
501 =item $text = $term->special_encode $string
502
503 Converts a perl string into the special encoding used by rxvt-unicode,
504 where one character corresponds to one screen cell. See
505 C<< $term->ROW_t >> for details.
506
507 =item $string = $term->special_decode $text
508
509 Converts rxvt-unicodes text reprsentation into a perl string. See
510 C<< $term->ROW_t >> for details.

513
514 =head2 RENDITION
515
516 Rendition bitsets contain information about colour, font, font styles and
517 similar information for each screen cell.
518
519 The following "macros" deal with changes in rendition sets. You should
520 never just create a bitset, you should always modify an existing one,
521 as they contain important information required for correct operation of
522 rxvt-unicode.

559
560 Set the callback to be called when the timer triggers.
561
562 =item $tstamp = $timer->at
563
564 Return the time this watcher will fire next.

566 =item $timer = $timer->set ($tstamp)
567
568 Set the time the event is generated to $tstamp.
569
570 =item $timer = $timer->start
571
572 Start the timer.
573
574 =item $timer = $timer->start ($tstamp)
575
576 Set the event trigger time to C<$tstamp> and start the timer.

584 =head2 The C<urxvt::iow> Class
585
586 This class implements io watchers/events. Example:

589 $term->{iow} = urxvt::iow
590 ->new
591 ->fd (fileno $term->{socket})
592 ->events (1) # wait for read data
593 ->start
594 ->cb (sub {
595 my ($iow, $revents) = @_;
