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/>.

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:

61 =item digital-clock
62
63 Displays a digital clock using the built-in overlay.
64
65 =item mark-urls
66
67 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
75 =item example-refresh-hooks
76
77 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.

82
83 =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 like. All members starting with an underscore (such as C<_ptr> or
88 C<_hook>) are reserved for internal uses and B<MUST NOT> be accessed or
89 modified).
90
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 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 =head2 Hooks
120
121 The following subroutines can be declared in loaded scripts, and will be
122 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
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 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
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 =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 =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 =item on_osc_seq $term, $string
214
215 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
226 =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 =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 =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 =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 =item on_key_press $term, $event, $octets
266
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 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
282 C<on_key_press> additionally receives the string rxvt-unicode would
283 output, if any, in locale-specific encoding.

292
293 =item $urxvt::TERM

300 =head2 Functions in the C<urxvt> Package
301
302 =over 4
303
304 =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 =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 Calls C<rxvt_warn> with the given string which should not include a
321 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).
330
331 =back
332
333 =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 underline, respectively. To enable such a style, just logically OR it into
358 the bitset.
359
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 =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)
380
381 Change the custom value.

539
540 Destroy the terminal object (close the window, free resources etc.).
541
542 =item $value = $term->resource ($name[, $newval])
543
544 Returns the current resource value associated with a given name and
545 optionally sets a new value. Setting values is most useful in the C<init>
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
553 as resource names of the form C<< color+<index> >>, e.g. C<color+5>. (will
554 likely change).
555
556 Please note that resource strings will currently only be freed when the
557 terminal is destroyed, so changing options frequently will eat memory.

632 =item $term->overlay ($x, $y, $width, $height[, $rstyle[, $border]])
633
634 Create a new (empty) overlay at the given position with the given
635 width/height. C<$rstyle> defines the initial rendition style
636 (default: C<OVERLAY_RSTYLE>).
637
638 If C<$border> is C<2> (default), then a decorative border will be put
639 around the box.
640
641 If either C<$x> or C<$y> is negative, then this is counted from the
642 right/bottom side, respectively.
643
644 This method returns an urxvt::overlay object. The overlay will be visible
645 as long as the perl object is referenced.
646
647 The methods currently supported on C<urxvt::overlay> objects are:
648
649 =over 4
650
651 =item $overlay->set ($x, $y, $text, $rend)
652
653 Similar to C<< $term->ROW_t >> and C<< $term->ROW_r >> in that it puts
654 text in rxvt-unicode's special encoding and an array of rendition values
655 at a specific position inside the overlay.
656
657 =item $overlay->hide
658
659 If visible, hide the overlay, but do not destroy it.
660
661 =item $overlay->show
662
663 If hidden, display the overlay again.
664
665 =back
666
667 =item $cellwidth = $term->strwidth ($string)
668
669 Returns the number of screen-cells this string would need. Correctly
670 accounts for wide and combining characters.
671
672 =item $octets = $term->locale_encode ($string)
673
674 Convert the given text string into the corresponding locale encoding.
675
676 =item $string = $term->locale_decode ($octets)
677
678 Convert the given locale-encoded octets into a perl string.
679
680 =item $term->scr_add_lines ($string)
681
682 Write the given text string to the screen, as if output by the application
683 running inside the terminal. It may not contain command sequences (escape
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
688 confused by changes in cursor position or scrolling. Its useful inside a
689 C<on_add_lines> hook, though.
690
691 =item $term->cmd_parse ($octets)
692
693 Similar to C<scr_add_lines>, but the argument must be in the
694 locale-specific encoding of the terminal and can contain command sequences
695 (escape codes) that will be interpreted.
696
697 =item $term->tt_write ($octets)
698
699 Write the octets given in C<$data> to the tty (i.e. as program input). To
700 pass characters instead of octets, you should convert your strings first
701 to the locale-specific encoding using C<< $term->locale_encode >>.
702
703 =item $windowid = $term->parent
704
705 Return the window id of the toplevel window.
706
707 =item $windowid = $term->vt
708
709 Return the window id of the terminal window.
710
711 =item $window_width = $term->width
712
713 =item $window_height = $term->height
714
715 =item $font_width = $term->fwidth
716
717 =item $font_height = $term->fheight
718
719 =item $font_ascent = $term->fbase
720
721 =item $terminal_rows = $term->nrow
722
723 =item $terminal_columns = $term->ncol
724
725 =item $has_focus = $term->focus
726
727 =item $is_mapped = $term->mapped
728
729 =item $max_scrollback = $term->saveLines
730
731 =item $nrow_plus_saveLines = $term->total_rows
732
733 =item $lines_in_scrollback = $term->nsaved
734
735 Return various integers describing terminal characteristics.
736
737 =item $view_start = $term->view_start ([$newvalue])
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 =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 =item $text = $term->ROW_t ($row_number[, $new_text[, $start_col]])
752
753 Returns the text of the entire row with number C<$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 line C<< -$term->nsaved >>. Nothing will be returned if a nonexistent line
757 is requested.
758
759 If C<$new_text> is specified, it will replace characters in the current
760 line, starting at column C<$start_col> (default C<0>), which is useful
761 to replace only parts of a line. The font index in the rendition will
762 automatically be updated.
763
764 C<$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 =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.
784
785 See the section on RENDITION, above.
786
787 =item $length = $term->ROW_l ($row_number[, $new_length])
788
789 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
806 =over 4
807
808 =item $text = $line->t ([$new_text])
809
810 Returns or replaces the full text of the line, similar to C<ROW_t>
811
812 =item $rend = $line->r ([$new_rend])
813
814 Returns or replaces the full rendition array of the line, similar to C<ROW_r>
815
816 =item $length = $line->l
817
818 Returns the length of the line in cells, similar to C<ROW_l>.
819
820 =item $rownum = $line->beg
821
822 =item $rownum = $line->end
823
824 Return the row number of the first/last row of the line, respectively.
825
826 =item $offset = $line->offset_of ($row, $col)
827
828 Returns the character offset of the given row|col pair within the logical
829 line.
830
831 =item ($row, $col) = $line->coord_of ($offset)
832
833 Translates a string offset into terminal coordinates again.

939 });
940
941 =over 4
942

945 Create a new timer object in started state. It is scheduled to fire
946 immediately.
947
948 =item $timer = $timer->cb (sub { my ($timer) = @_; ... })
949
950 Set the callback to be called when the timer triggers.
951
952 =item $tstamp = $timer->at
953
954 Return the time this watcher will fire next.
955

957
958 Set the time the event is generated to $tstamp.
959
960 =item $timer = $timer->interval ($interval)
961
962 Normally (and when C<$interval> is C<0>), the timer will automatically
963 stop after it has fired once. If C<$interval> is non-zero, then the timer
964 is automatically rescheduled at the given intervals.
965
966 =item $timer = $timer->start
967
968 Start the timer.
969
970 =item $timer = $timer->start ($tstamp)
971
972 Set the event trigger time to C<$tstamp> and start the timer.

1005
1006 Set the callback to be called when io events are triggered. C<$reventmask>
1007 is a bitset as described in the C<events> method.
1008
1009 =item $iow = $iow->fd ($fd)
1010
1011 Set the filedescriptor (not handle) to watch.
1012
1013 =item $iow = $iow->events ($eventmask)
1014
1015 Set the event mask to watch. Bit #0 (value C<1>) enables watching for read
1016 data, Bit #1 (value C<2>) enables watching for write data.
1017
1018 =item $iow = $iow->start
1019
1020 Start watching for requested events on the given handle.
