397
398=item $nrow = $term->nrow
399
400=item $ncol = $term->ncol
401
402Return the number of rows/columns of the terminal window (i.e. as
403specified by C<-geometry>, excluding any scrollback).
404
405=item $nsaved = $term->nsaved
406
407Returns the number of lines in the scrollback buffer.
408
409=item $view_start = $term->view_start ([$newvalue])
410
411Returns the negative row number of the topmost line. Minimum value is
412C<0>, which displays the normal terminal contents. Larger values scroll
413this many lines into the scrollback buffer.
414
415=item $term->want_refresh
416
417Requests a screen refresh. At the next opportunity, rxvt-unicode will
418compare the on-screen display with its stored representation. If they
419differ, it redraws the differences.
420
421Used after changing terminal contents to display them.
422
423=item $text = $term->ROW_t ($row_number[, $new_text[, $start_col]])
424
425Returns the text of the entire row with number C<$row_number>. Row C<0>
426is the topmost terminal line, row C<< $term->$ncol-1 >> is the bottommost
427terminal line. The scrollback buffer starts at line C<-1> and extends to
428line C<< -$term->nsaved >>.
429
430If C<$new_text> is specified, it will replace characters in the current
431line, starting at column C<$start_col> (default C<0>), which is useful
432to replace only parts of a line. The font iindex in the rendition will
433automatically be updated.
434
435C<$text> is in a special encoding: tabs and wide characters that use more
436than one cell when displayed are padded with urxvt::NOCHAR characters
437(C<chr 65535>). Characters with combining characters and other characters
438that do not fit into the normal tetx encoding will be replaced with
439characters in the private use area.
440
441You have to obey this encoding when changing text. The advantage is
442that C<substr> and similar functions work on screen cells and not on
443characters.
444
445The methods C<< $term->special_encode >> and C<< $term->special_decode >>
446can 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
450Like C<< $term->ROW_t >>, but returns an arrayref with rendition
451bitsets. Rendition bitsets contain information about colour, font, font
452styles and similar information. See also C<< $term->ROW_t >>.
453
454When setting rendition, the font mask will be ignored.
455
456See the section on RENDITION, below.
457
458=item $length = $term->ROW_l ($row_number[, $new_length])
459
460Returns the number of screen cells that are in use ("the line length"). If
461it is C<-1>, then the line is part of a multiple-row logical "line", which
462means all characters are in use and it is continued on the next row.
463
464=item $text = $term->special_encode $string
465
466Converts a perl string into the special encoding used by rxvt-unicode,
467where one character corresponds to one screen cell. See
468C<< $term->ROW_t >> for details.
469
470=item $string = $term->special_decode $text
471
472Converts rxvt-unicodes text reprsentation into a perl string. See
473C<< $term->ROW_t >> for details.

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