20 =head1 DESCRIPTION
21
22 Everytime a terminal object gets created, scripts specified via the
23 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
28 Each script will only ever be loaded once, even in @@RXVT_NAME@@d, where
29 scripts will be shared (but not enabled) for all terminals.

31 =head2 Prepackaged Extensions
32
33 This section describes the extensiosn delivered with this version. You can
34 find them in F<@@RXVT_LIBDIR@@/urxvt/perl/>.
35
36 You can activate them like this:

42 =item selection
43
44 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
49 It also offers the following bindable event:

53 =item rot13

55 Rot-13 the selection when activated. Used via keyboard trigger:

61 =item digital-clock
62
63 Displays a digital clock using the built-in overlay.
64
65 =item example-refresh-hooks
66
67 Displays a very simple digital clock in the upper right corner of the
68 window. Illustrates overwriting the refresh callbacks to create your own
69 overlays or changes.

72
73 =head2 General API Considerations
74
75 All objects (such as terminals, time watchers etc.) are typical
76 reference-to-hash objects. The hash can be used to store anything you
77 like. All members starting with an underscore (such as C<_ptr> or
78 C<_hook>) are reserved for internal uses and B<MUST NOT> be accessed or
79 modified).
80
81 When objects are destroyed on the C++ side, the perl object hashes are
82 emptied, so its best to store related objects such as time watchers and
83 the like inside the terminal object so they get destroyed as soon as the
84 terminal is destroyed.
85
86 =head2 Hooks
87
88 The following subroutines can be declared in loaded scripts, and will be
89 called whenever the relevant event happens.
90
91 The first argument passed to them is an object private to each terminal
92 and extension package. You can call all C<urxvt::term> methods on it, but
93 its not a real C<urxvt::term> object. Instead, the real C<urxvt::term>
94 object that is shared between all packages is stored in the C<term>
95 member.
96
97 All of them must return a boolean value. If it is true, then the event
98 counts as being I<consumed>, and the invocation of other hooks is skipped,
99 and the relevant action might not be carried out by the C++ code.
100
101 When in doubt, return a false value (preferably C<()>).
102
103 =over 4
104
105 =item on_init $term
106
107 Called after a new terminal object has been initialized, but before
108 windows are created or the command gets run.
109
110 =item on_reset $term
111
112 Called after the screen is "reset" for any reason, such as resizing or
113 control sequences. Here is where you can react on changes to size-related
114 variables.
115
116 =item on_start $term
117
118 Called at the very end of initialisation of a new terminal, just before
119 returning to the mainloop.
120
121 =item on_sel_make $term, $eventtime
122
123 Called whenever a selection has been made by the user, but before the
124 selection text is copied, so changes to the beginning, end or type of the
125 selection will be honored.
126
127 Returning a true value aborts selection making by urxvt, in which case you
128 have to make a selection yourself by calling C<< $term->selection_grab >>.
129
130 =item on_sel_grab $term, $eventtime
131
132 Called whenever a selection has been copied, but before the selection is
133 requested from the server. The selection text can be queried and changed
134 by calling C<< $term->selection >>.
135
136 Returning a true value aborts selection grabbing. It will still be hilighted.
137
138 =item on_sel_extend $term
139
140 Called whenever the user tries to extend the selection (e.g. with a double
141 click) and is either supposed to return false (normal operation), or
142 should extend the selection itelf and return true to suppress the built-in
143 processing.
144
145 See the F<selection> example extension.
146
147 =item on_focus_in $term
148
149 Called whenever the window gets the keyboard focus, before urxvt does
150 focus in processing.
151
152 =item on_focus_out $term
153
154 Called wheneever the window loses keyboard focus, before urxvt does focus
155 out processing.
156
157 =item on_view_change $term, $offset
158
159 Called whenever the view offset changes, i..e the user or program
160 scrolls. Offset C<0> means display the normal terminal, positive values
161 show this many lines of scrollback.
162
163 =item on_scroll_back $term, $lines, $saved
164
165 Called whenever lines scroll out of the terminal area into the scrollback
166 buffer. C<$lines> is the number of lines scrolled out and may be larger
167 than the scroll back buffer or the terminal.
168
169 It is called before lines are scrolled out (so rows 0 .. min ($lines - 1,
170 $nrow - 1) represent the lines to be scrolled out). C<$saved> is the total
171 number of lines that will be in the scrollback buffer.
172
173 =item on_tty_activity $term *NYI*
174
175 Called whenever the program(s) running in the urxvt window send output.
176
177 =item on_refresh_begin $term
178
179 Called just before the screen gets redrawn. Can be used for overlay
180 or similar effects by modify terminal contents in refresh_begin, and
181 restoring them in refresh_end. The built-in overlay and selection display
182 code is run after this hook, and takes precedence.
183
184 =item on_refresh_end $term
185
186 Called just after the screen gets redrawn. See C<on_refresh_begin>.
187
188 =item on_keyboard_command $term, $string
189
190 Called whenever the user presses a key combination that has a
191 C<perl:string> action bound to it (see description of the B<keysym>
192 resource in the @@RXVT_NAME@@(1) manpage).

196 =head2 Variables in the C<urxvt> Package
197
198 =over 4
199
200 =item $urxvt::TERM
201
202 The current terminal. Whenever a callback/Hook is bein executed, this
203 variable stores the current C<urxvt::term> object.

207 =head2 Functions in the C<urxvt> Package
208
209 =over 4
210
211 =item urxvt::fatal $errormessage
212
213 Fatally aborts execution with the given error message. Avoid at all
214 costs! The only time this is acceptable is when the terminal process
215 starts up.
216
217 =item urxvt::warn $string
218
219 Calls C<rxvt_warn> with the given string which should not include a
220 newline. The module also overwrites the C<warn> builtin with a function
221 that calls this function.
222
223 Using this function has the advantage that its output ends up in the
224 correct place, e.g. on stderr of the connecting urxvtc client.
225
226 =item $time = urxvt::NOW
227
228 Returns the "current time" (as per the event loop).
229
230 =back
231
232 =head2 RENDITION
233
234 Rendition bitsets contain information about colour, font, font styles and
235 similar information for each screen cell.
236
237 The following "macros" deal with changes in rendition sets. You should
238 never just create a bitset, you should always modify an existing one,
239 as they contain important information required for correct operation of
240 rxvt-unicode.
241
242 =over 4
243
244 =item $rend = urxvt::DEFAULT_RSTYLE
245
246 Returns the default rendition, as used when the terminal is starting up or
247 being reset. Useful as a base to start when creating renditions.
248
249 =item $rend = urxvt::OVERLAY_RSTYLE
250
251 Return the rendition mask used for overlays by default.
252
253 =item $rendbit = urxvt::RS_Bold, RS_Italic, RS_Blink, RS_RVid, RS_Uline
254
255 Return the bit that enabled bold, italic, blink, reverse-video and
256 underline, respectively. To enable such a style, just logically OR it into
257 the bitset.
258
259 =item $foreground = urxvt::GET_BASEFG $rend
260
261 =item $background = urxvt::GET_BASEBG $rend
262
263 Return the foreground/background colour index, respectively.
264
265 =item $rend = urxvt::SET_FGCOLOR ($rend, $new_colour)
266
267 =item $rend = urxvt::SET_BGCOLOR ($rend, $new_colour)
268
269 Replace the foreground/background colour in the rendition mask with the
270 specified one.
271
272 =item $value = urxvt::GET_CUSTOM ($rend)
273
274 Return the "custom" value: Every rendition has 5 bits for use by
275 extensions. They can be set and changed as you like and are initially
276 zero.
277
278 =item $rend = urxvt::SET_CUSTOM ($rend, $new_value)
279
280 Change the custom value.

427 =item $value = $term->resource ($name[, $newval])
428
429 Returns the current resource value associated with a given name and
430 optionally sets a new value. Setting values is most useful in the C<init>
431 hook. Unset resources are returned and accepted as C<undef>.
432
433 The new value must be properly encoded to a suitable character encoding
434 before passing it to this method. Similarly, the returned value may need
435 to be converted from the used encoding to text.
436
437 Resource names are as defined in F<src/rsinc.h>. Colours can be specified
438 as resource names of the form C<< color+<index> >>, e.g. C<color+5>. (will
439 likely change).
440
441 Please note that resource strings will currently only be freed when the
442 terminal is destroyed, so changing options frequently will eat memory.

509
510 Create a new (empty) overlay at the given position with the given
511 width/height. C<$rstyle> defines the initial rendition style
512 (default: C<OVERLAY_RSTYLE>).
513
514 If C<$border> is C<2> (default), then a decorative border will be put
515 around the box.
516
517 If either C<$x> or C<$y> is negative, then this is counted from the
518 right/bottom side, respectively.
519
520 This method returns an urxvt::overlay object. The overlay will be visible
521 as long as the perl object is referenced.
522

525 =over 4
526
527 =item $overlay->set ($x, $y, $text, $rend)
528
529 Similar to C<< $term->ROW_t >> and C<< $term->ROW_r >> in that it puts
530 text in rxvt-unicode's special encoding and an array of rendition values
531 at a specific position inside the overlay.
532
533 =item $overlay->hide
534
535 If visible, hide the overlay, but do not destroy it.
536
537 =item $overlay->show
538
539 If hidden, display the overlay again.
540
541 =back
542
543 =item $cellwidth = $term->strwidth $string
544
545 Returns the number of screen-cells this string would need. Correctly
546 accounts for wide and combining characters.
547
548 =item $octets = $term->locale_encode $string
549
550 Convert the given text string into the corresponding locale encoding.
551
552 =item $string = $term->locale_decode $octets
553
554 Convert the given locale-encoded octets into a perl string.
555
556 =item $term->tt_write ($octets)
557
558 Write the octets given in C<$data> to the tty (i.e. as program input). To
559 pass characters instead of octets, you should convert your strings first
560 to the locale-specific encoding using C<< $term->locale_encode >>.
561
562 =item $nrow = $term->nrow
563
564 =item $ncol = $term->ncol
565
566 Return the number of rows/columns of the terminal window (i.e. as
567 specified by C<-geometry>, excluding any scrollback).
568
569 =item $nsaved = $term->nsaved
570
571 Returns the number of lines in the scrollback buffer.
572
573 =item $view_start = $term->view_start ([$newvalue])
574
575 Returns the negative row number of the topmost line. Minimum value is
576 C<0>, which displays the normal terminal contents. Larger values scroll
577 this many lines into the scrollback buffer.
578
579 =item $term->want_refresh
580
581 Requests a screen refresh. At the next opportunity, rxvt-unicode will
582 compare the on-screen display with its stored representation. If they
583 differ, it redraws the differences.
584
585 Used after changing terminal contents to display them.
586
587 =item $text = $term->ROW_t ($row_number[, $new_text[, $start_col]])
588
589 Returns the text of the entire row with number C<$row_number>. Row C<0>
590 is the topmost terminal line, row C<< $term->$ncol-1 >> is the bottommost
591 terminal line. The scrollback buffer starts at line C<-1> and extends to
592 line C<< -$term->nsaved >>. Nothing will be returned if a nonexistent line
593 is requested.
594
595 If C<$new_text> is specified, it will replace characters in the current
596 line, starting at column C<$start_col> (default C<0>), which is useful
597 to replace only parts of a line. The font index in the rendition will
598 automatically be updated.
599
600 C<$text> is in a special encoding: tabs and wide characters that use more
601 than one cell when displayed are padded with urxvt::NOCHAR characters
602 (C<chr 65535>). Characters with combining characters and other characters
603 that do not fit into the normal tetx encoding will be replaced with
604 characters in the private use area.
605
606 You have to obey this encoding when changing text. The advantage is
607 that C<substr> and similar functions work on screen cells and not on
608 characters.
609
610 The methods C<< $term->special_encode >> and C<< $term->special_decode >>
611 can be used to convert normal strings into this encoding and vice versa.
612
613 =item $rend = $term->ROW_r ($row_number[, $new_rend[, $start_col]])
614
615 Like C<< $term->ROW_t >>, but returns an arrayref with rendition
616 bitsets. Rendition bitsets contain information about colour, font, font
617 styles and similar information. See also C<< $term->ROW_t >>.
618
619 When setting rendition, the font mask will be ignored.
620
621 See the section on RENDITION, above.
622
623 =item $length = $term->ROW_l ($row_number[, $new_length])
624
625 Returns the number of screen cells that are in use ("the line
626 length"). Unlike the urxvt core, this returns C<< $term->ncol >> if the
627 line is joined with the following one.
628
629 =item $bool = $term->is_longer ($row_number)
630
631 Returns true if the row is part of a multiple-row logical "line" (i.e.
632 joined with the following row), which means all characters are in use
633 and it is continued on the next row (and possibly a continuation of the
634 previous row(s)).
635
636 =item $line = $term->line ($row_number)
637
638 Create and return a new C<urxvt::line> object that stores information
639 about the logical line that row C<$row_number> is part of. It supports the
640 following methods:
641
642 =over 4
643
644 =item $text = $line->t
645
646 Returns the full text of the line, similar to C<ROW_t>
647
648 =item $rend = $line->r
649
650 Returns the full rendition array of the line, similar to C<ROW_r>
651
652 =item $length = $line->l
653
654 Returns the length of the line in cells, similar to C<ROW_l>.
655
656 =item $rownum = $line->beg
657
658 =item $rownum = $line->end
659
660 Return the row number of the first/last row of the line, respectively.
661
662 =item $offset = $line->offset_of ($row, $col)
663
664 Returns the character offset of the given row|col pair within the logical
665 line.
666
667 =item ($row, $col) = $line->coord_of ($offset)
668
669 Translates a string offset into terminal coordinates again.

745 =head2 The C<urxvt::timer> Class
746
747 This class implements timer watchers/events. Time is represented as a
748 fractional number of seconds since the epoch. Example:
749
750 $term->{overlay} = $term->overlay (-1, 0, 8, 1, urxvt::OVERLAY_RSTYLE, 0);
751 $term->{timer} = urxvt::timer
752 ->new
753 ->interval (1)
754 ->cb (sub {
755 $term->{overlay}->set (0, 0,
756 sprintf "%2d:%02d:%02d", (localtime urxvt::NOW)[2,1,0]);
757 });
758
759 =over 4
760
761 =item $timer = new urxvt::timer
762
763 Create a new timer object in started state. It is scheduled to fire
764 immediately.
765
766 =item $timer = $timer->cb (sub { my ($timer) = @_; ... })
767
768 Set the callback to be called when the timer triggers.
769
770 =item $tstamp = $timer->at
771
772 Return the time this watcher will fire next.
773
774 =item $timer = $timer->set ($tstamp)
775
776 Set the time the event is generated to $tstamp.
777
778 =item $timer = $timer->interval ($interval)
779
780 Normally (and when C<$interval> is C<0>), the timer will automatically
781 stop after it has fired once. If C<$interval> is non-zero, then the timer
782 is automatically rescheduled at the given intervals.
783
784 =item $timer = $timer->start
785
786 Start the timer.
787
788 =item $timer = $timer->start ($tstamp)
789
790 Set the event trigger time to C<$tstamp> and start the timer.
791
792 =item $timer = $timer->stop
793
794 Stop the timer.
795
796 =back
797
798 =head2 The C<urxvt::iow> Class
799
800 This class implements io watchers/events. Example:
801
802 $term->{socket} = ...
803 $term->{iow} = urxvt::iow
804 ->new
805 ->fd (fileno $term->{socket})
806 ->events (1) # wait for read data
807 ->start
808 ->cb (sub {
809 my ($iow, $revents) = @_;
810 # $revents must be 1 here, no need to check
811 sysread $term->{socket}, my $buf, 8192
812 or end-of-file;
813 });
814
815
816 =over 4
817
818 =item $iow = new urxvt::iow
819
820 Create a new io watcher object in stopped state.
821
822 =item $iow = $iow->cb (sub { my ($iow, $reventmask) = @_; ... })
823
824 Set the callback to be called when io events are triggered. C<$reventmask>
825 is a bitset as described in the C<events> method.
826
827 =item $iow = $iow->fd ($fd)
828
829 Set the filedescriptor (not handle) to watch.
830
831 =item $iow = $iow->events ($eventmask)
832
833 Set the event mask to watch. Bit #0 (value C<1>) enables watching for read
834 data, Bit #1 (value C<2>) enables watching for write data.
835
836 =item $iow = $iow->start
837
838 Start watching for requested events on the given handle.
839
840 =item $iow = $iow->stop
841
842 Stop watching for events on the given filehandle.
