20 =head1 DESCRIPTION
21
22 Every time a terminal object gets created, extension scripts specified via
23 the 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.
30
31 You can disable the embedded perl interpreter by setting both "perl-ext"
32 and "perl-ext-common" resources to the empty string.
33
34 =head1 PREPACKAGED EXTENSIONS
35
36 This section describes the extensions delivered with this release. You can
37 find them in F<@@RXVT_LIBDIR@@/urxvt/perl/>.
38
39 You can activate them like this:
40
41 @@RXVT_NAME@@ -pe <extensionname>
42
43 Or by adding them to the resource for extensions loaded by default:
44
45 URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,selection-autotransform
46
47 =over 4
48
49 =item selection (enabled by default)
50
51 (More) intelligent selection. This extension tries to be more intelligent
52 when the user extends selections (double-click and further clicks). Right
53 now, it tries to select words, urls and complete shell-quoted
54 arguments, which is very convenient, too, if your F<ls> supports
55 C<--quoting-style=shell>.
56
57 A double-click usually selects the word under the cursor, further clicks
58 will enlarge the selection.
59
60 The selection works by trying to match a number of regexes and displaying
61 them in increasing order of length. You can add your own regexes by
62 specifying resources of the form:
63
64 URxvt.selection.pattern-0: perl-regex
65 URxvt.selection.pattern-1: perl-regex
66 ...
67
68 The index number (0, 1...) must not have any holes, and each regex must
69 contain at least one pair of capturing parentheses, which will be used for
70 the match. For example, the following adds a regex that matches everything
71 between two vertical bars:
72
73 URxvt.selection.pattern-0: \\|([^|]+)\\|
74
75 Another example: Programs I use often output "absolute path: " at the
76 beginning of a line when they process multiple files. The following
77 pattern matches the filename (note, there is a single space at the very
78 end):
79
80 URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ^(/[^:]+):\
81
82 You can look at the source of the selection extension to see more
83 interesting uses, such as parsing a line from beginning to end.
84
85 This extension also offers following bindable keyboard commands:
86
87 =over 4
88
89 =item rot13
90
91 Rot-13 the selection when activated. Used via keyboard trigger:
92
93 URxvt.keysym.C-M-r: perl:selection:rot13
94
95 =back
96
97 =item option-popup (enabled by default)
98
99 Binds a popup menu to Ctrl-Button2 that lets you toggle (some) options at
100 runtime.
101
102 Other extensions can extend this popup menu by pushing a code reference
103 onto C<@{ $term->{option_popup_hook} }>, which gets called whenever the
104 popup is being displayed.
105
106 Its sole argument is the popup menu, which can be modified. It should
107 either return nothing or a string, the initial boolean value and a code
108 reference. The string will be used as button text and the code reference
109 will be called when the toggle changes, with the new boolean value as
110 first argument.
111
112 The following will add an entry C<myoption> that changes
113 C<< $self->{myoption} >>:
114
115 push @{ $self->{term}{option_popup_hook} }, sub {
116 ("my option" => $myoption, sub { $self->{myoption} = $_[0] })
117 };
118
119 =item selection-popup (enabled by default)
120
121 Binds a popup menu to Ctrl-Button3 that lets you convert the selection
122 text into various other formats/action (such as uri unescaping, perl
123 evaluation, web-browser starting etc.), depending on content.
124
125 Other extensions can extend this popup menu by pushing a code reference
126 onto C<@{ $term->{selection_popup_hook} }>, which gets called whenever the
127 popup is being displayed.
128
129 Its sole argument is the popup menu, which can be modified. The selection
130 is in C<$_>, which can be used to decide whether to add something or not.
131 It should either return nothing or a string and a code reference. The
132 string will be used as button text and the code reference will be called
133 when the button gets activated and should transform C<$_>.
134
135 The following will add an entry C<a to b> that transforms all C<a>s in
136 the selection to C<b>s, but only if the selection currently contains any
137 C<a>s:
138
139 push @{ $self->{term}{selection_popup_hook} }, sub {
140 /a/ ? ("a to b" => sub { s/a/b/g }
141 : ()
142 };
143
144 =item searchable-scrollback<hotkey> (enabled by default)
145
146 Adds regex search functionality to the scrollback buffer, triggered
147 by a hotkey (default: C<M-s>). While in search mode, normal terminal
148 input/output is suspended and a regex is displayed at the bottom of the
149 screen.
150
151 Inputting characters appends them to the regex and continues incremental
152 search. C<BackSpace> removes a character from the regex, C<Up> and C<Down>
153 search upwards/downwards in the scrollback buffer, C<End> jumps to the
154 bottom. C<Escape> leaves search mode and returns to the point where search
155 was started, while C<Enter> or C<Return> stay at the current position and
156 additionally stores the first match in the current line into the primary
157 selection if the C<Shift> modifier is active.
158
159 The regex defaults to "(?i)", resulting in a case-insensitive search. To
160 get a case-sensitive search you can delete this prefix using C<BackSpace>
161 or simply use an uppercase character which removes the "(?i)" prefix.
162
163 See L<perlre> for more info about perl regular expression syntax.
164
165 =item readline (enabled by default)
166
167 A support package that tries to make editing with readline easier. At
168 the moment, it reacts to clicking shift-left mouse button by trying to
169 move the text cursor to this position. It does so by generating as many
170 cursor-left or cursor-right keypresses as required (this only works
171 for programs that correctly support wide characters).
172
173 To avoid too many false positives, this is only done when:
174
175 =over 4
176
177 =item - the tty is in ICANON state.
178
179 =item - the text cursor is visible.
180
181 =item - the primary screen is currently being displayed.
182
183 =item - the mouse is on the same (multi-row-) line as the text cursor.
184
185 =back
186
187 The normal selection mechanism isn't disabled, so quick successive clicks
188 might interfere with selection creation in harmless ways.
189
190 =item selection-autotransform
191
192 This selection allows you to do automatic transforms on a selection
193 whenever a selection is made.
194
195 It works by specifying perl snippets (most useful is a single C<s///>
196 operator) that modify C<$_> as resources:
197
198 URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: transform
199 URxvt.selection-autotransform.1: transform
200 ...
201
202 For example, the following will transform selections of the form
203 C<filename:number>, often seen in compiler messages, into C<vi +$filename
204 $word>:
205
206 URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^([^:[:space:]]+):(\\d+):?$/vi +$2 \\Q$1\\E\\x0d/
207
208 And this example matches the same,but replaces it with vi-commands you can
209 paste directly into your (vi :) editor:
210
211 URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^([^:[:space:]]+(\\d+):?$/:e \\Q$1\\E\\x0d:$2\\x0d/
212
213 Of course, this can be modified to suit your needs and your editor :)
214
215 To expand the example above to typical perl error messages ("XXX at
216 FILENAME line YYY."), you need a slightly more elaborate solution:
217
218 URxvt.selection.pattern-0: ( at .*? line \\d+[,.])
219 URxvt.selection-autotransform.0: s/^ at (.*?) line (\\d+)[,.]$/:e \\Q$1\E\\x0d:$2\\x0d/
220
221 The first line tells the selection code to treat the unchanging part of
222 every error message as a selection pattern, and the second line transforms
223 the message into vi commands to load the file.
224
225 =item tabbed
226
227 This transforms the terminal into a tabbar with additional terminals, that
228 is, it implements what is commonly referred to as "tabbed terminal". The topmost line
229 displays a "[NEW]" button, which, when clicked, will add a new tab, followed by one
230 button per tab.
231
232 Clicking a button will activate that tab. Pressing B<Shift-Left> and
233 B<Shift-Right> will switch to the tab left or right of the current one,
234 while B<Shift-Down> creates a new tab.
235
236 The tabbar itself can be configured similarly to a normal terminal, but
237 with a resource class of C<URxvt.tabbed>. In addition, it supports the
238 following four resources (shown with defaults):
239
240 URxvt.tabbed.tabbar-fg: <colour-index, default 3>
241 URxvt.tabbed.tabbar-bg: <colour-index, default 0>
242 URxvt.tabbed.tab-fg: <colour-index, default 0>
243 URxvt.tabbed.tab-bg: <colour-index, default 1>
244
245 See I<COLOR AND GRAPHICS> in the @@RXVT_NAME@@(1) manpage for valid
246 indices.
247
248 =item matcher
249
250 Uses per-line display filtering (C<on_line_update>) to underline text
251 matching a certain pattern and make it clickable. When clicked with the
252 mouse button specified in the C<matcher.button> resource (default 2, or
253 middle), the program specified in the C<matcher.launcher> resource
254 (default, the C<urlLauncher> resource, C<sensible-browser>) will be started
255 with the matched text as first argument. The default configuration is
256 suitable for matching URLs and launching a web browser, like the
257 former "mark-urls" extension.
258
259 The default pattern to match URLs can be overridden with the
260 C<matcher.pattern.0> resource, and additional patterns can be specified
261 with numbered patterns, in a manner similar to the "selection" extension.
262 The launcher can also be overridden on a per-pattern basis.
263
264 It is possible to activate the most recently seen match from the keyboard.
265 Simply bind a keysym to "perl:matcher" as seen in the example below.
266
267 Example configuration:
268
269 URxvt.perl-ext: default,matcher
270 URxvt.urlLauncher: sensible-browser
271 URxvt.keysym.C-Delete: perl:matcher
272 URxvt.matcher.button: 1
273 URxvt.matcher.pattern.1: \\bwww\\.[\\w-]+\\.[\\w./?&@#-]*[\\w/-]
274 URxvt.matcher.pattern.2: \\B(/\\S+?):(\\d+)(?=:|$)
275 URxvt.matcher.launcher.2: gvim +$2 $1
276
277 =item xim-onthespot
278
279 This (experimental) perl extension implements OnTheSpot editing. It does
280 not work perfectly, and some input methods don't seem to work well with
281 OnTheSpot editing in general, but it seems to work at least for SCIM and
282 kinput2.
283
284 You enable it by specifying this extension and a preedit style of
285 C<OnTheSpot>, i.e.:
286
287 @@RXVT_NAME@@ -pt OnTheSpot -pe xim-onthespot
288
289 =item kuake<hotkey>
290
291 A very primitive quake-console-like extension. It was inspired by a
292 description of how the programs C<kuake> and C<yakuake> work: Whenever the
293 user presses a global accelerator key (by default C<F10>), the terminal
294 will show or hide itself. Another press of the accelerator key will hide
295 or show it again.
296
297 Initially, the window will not be shown when using this extension.
298
299 This is useful if you need a single terminal that is not using any desktop
300 space most of the time but is quickly available at the press of a key.
301
302 The accelerator key is grabbed regardless of any modifiers, so this
303 extension will actually grab a physical key just for this function.
304
305 If you want a quake-like animation, tell your window manager to do so
306 (fvwm can do it).
307
308 =item overlay-osc
309
310 This extension implements some OSC commands to display timed popups on the
311 screen - useful for status displays from within scripts. You have to read
312 the sources for more info.
313
314 =item block-graphics-to-ascii
315
316 A not very useful example of filtering all text output to the terminal
317 by replacing all line-drawing characters (U+2500 .. U+259F) by a
318 similar-looking ascii character.
319
320 =item digital-clock
321
322 Displays a digital clock using the built-in overlay.
323
324 =item remote-clipboard
325
326 Somewhat of a misnomer, this extension adds two menu entries to the
327 selection popup that allows one to run external commands to store the
328 selection somewhere and fetch it again.
329
330 We use it to implement a "distributed selection mechanism", which just
331 means that one command uploads the file to a remote server, and another
332 reads it.
333
334 The commands can be set using the C<URxvt.remote-selection.store> and
335 C<URxvt.remote-selection.fetch> resources. The first should read the
336 selection to store from STDIN (always in UTF-8), the second should provide
337 the selection data on STDOUT (also in UTF-8).
338
339 The defaults (which are likely useless to you) use rsh and cat:
340
341 URxvt.remote-selection.store: rsh ruth 'cat >/tmp/distributed-selection'
342 URxvt.remote-selection.fetch: rsh ruth 'cat /tmp/distributed-selection'
343
344 =item selection-pastebin
345
346 This is a little rarely useful extension that uploads the selection as
347 textfile to a remote site (or does other things). (The implementation is
348 not currently secure for use in a multiuser environment as it writes to
349 F</tmp> directly.).
350
351 It listens to the C<selection-pastebin:remote-pastebin> keyboard command,
352 i.e.
353
354 URxvt.keysym.C-M-e: perl:selection-pastebin:remote-pastebin
355
356 Pressing this combination runs a command with C<%> replaced by the name of
357 the textfile. This command can be set via a resource:
358
359 URxvt.selection-pastebin.cmd: rsync -apP % ruth:/var/www/www.ta-sa.org/files/txt/.
360
361 And the default is likely not useful to anybody but the few people around
362 here :)
363
364 The name of the textfile is the hex encoded md5 sum of the selection, so
365 the same content should lead to the same filename.
366
367 After a successful upload the selection will be replaced by the text given
368 in the C<selection-pastebin-url> resource (again, the % is the placeholder
369 for the filename):
370
371 URxvt.selection-pastebin.url: http://www.ta-sa.org/files/txt/%
372
373 I<Note to xrdb users:> xrdb uses the C preprocessor, which might interpret
374 the double C</> characters as comment start. Use C<\057\057> instead,
375 which works regardless of whether xrdb is used to parse the resource file
376 or not.
377
378 =item macosx-clipboard and macosx-clipboard-native
379
380 These two modules implement an extended clipboard for Mac OS X. They are
381 used like this:
382
383 URxvt.perl-ext-common: default,macosx-clipboard
384 URxvt.keysym.M-c: perl:macosx-clipboard:copy
385 URxvt.keysym.M-v: perl:macosx-clipboard:paste
386
387 The difference between them is that the native variant requires a
388 perl from apple's devkit or so, and C<macosx-clipboard> requires the
389 C<Mac::Pasteboard> module, works with other perls, has fewer bugs, is
390 simpler etc. etc.
391
392 =item example-refresh-hooks
393
394 Displays a very simple digital clock in the upper right corner of the
395 window. Illustrates overwriting the refresh callbacks to create your own
396 overlays or changes.
397
398 =item confirm-paste
399
400 Displays a confirmation dialog when a paste containing at least a full
401 line is detected.

404
405 =head1 API DOCUMENTATION
406
407 =head2 General API Considerations
408
409 All objects (such as terminals, time watchers etc.) are typical
410 reference-to-hash objects. The hash can be used to store anything you
411 like. All members starting with an underscore (such as C<_ptr> or
412 C<_hook>) are reserved for internal uses and B<MUST NOT> be accessed or
413 modified).
414
415 When objects are destroyed on the C++ side, the perl object hashes are
416 emptied, so its best to store related objects such as time watchers and
417 the like inside the terminal object so they get destroyed as soon as the
418 terminal is destroyed.
419
420 Argument names also often indicate the type of a parameter. Here are some
421 hints on what they mean:
422
423 =over 4
424
425 =item $text
426
427 Rxvt-unicode's special way of encoding text, where one "unicode" character
428 always represents one screen cell. See L<ROW_t> for a discussion of this format.
429
430 =item $string
431
432 A perl text string, with an emphasis on I<text>. It can store all unicode
433 characters and is to be distinguished with text encoded in a specific
434 encoding (often locale-specific) and binary data.
435
436 =item $octets
437
438 Either binary data or - more common - a text string encoded in a
439 locale-specific way.
440
441 =back
442
443 =head2 Extension Objects
444
445 Every perl extension is a perl class. A separate perl object is created
446 for each terminal, and each terminal has its own set of extenion objects,
447 which are passed as the first parameter to hooks. So extensions can use
448 their C<$self> object without having to think about clashes with other
449 extensions or other terminals, with the exception of methods and members
450 that begin with an underscore character C<_>: these are reserved for
451 internal use.
452
453 Although it isn't a C<urxvt::term> object, you can call all methods of the
454 C<urxvt::term> class on this object.
455
456 It has the following methods and data members:
457
458 =over 4
459
460 =item $urxvt_term = $self->{term}
461
462 Returns the C<urxvt::term> object associated with this instance of the
463 extension. This member I<must not> be changed in any way.
464
465 =item $self->enable ($hook_name => $cb, [$hook_name => $cb..])
466
467 Dynamically enable the given hooks (named without the C<on_> prefix) for
468 this extension, replacing any previous hook. This is useful when you want
469 to overwrite time-critical hooks only temporarily.
470
471 =item $self->disable ($hook_name[, $hook_name..])
472
473 Dynamically disable the given hooks.
474
475 =back
476
477 =head2 Hooks
478
479 The following subroutines can be declared in extension files, and will be
480 called whenever the relevant event happens.
481
482 The first argument passed to them is an extension object as described in
483 the in the C<Extension Objects> section.
484
485 B<All> of these hooks must return a boolean value. If any of the called
486 hooks returns true, then the event counts as being I<consumed>, and the
487 relevant action might not be carried out by the C++ code.
488
489 I<< When in doubt, return a false value (preferably C<()>). >>
490
491 =over 4
492
493 =item on_init $term
494
495 Called after a new terminal object has been initialized, but before
496 windows are created or the command gets run. Most methods are unsafe to
497 call or deliver senseless data, as terminal size and other characteristics
498 have not yet been determined. You can safely query and change resources
499 and options, though. For many purposes the C<on_start> hook is a better
500 place.
501
502 =item on_start $term
503
504 Called at the very end of initialisation of a new terminal, just before
505 trying to map (display) the toplevel and returning to the main loop.
506
507 =item on_destroy $term
508
509 Called whenever something tries to destroy terminal, when the terminal is
510 still fully functional (not for long, though).
511
512 =item on_reset $term
513
514 Called after the screen is "reset" for any reason, such as resizing or
515 control sequences. Here is where you can react on changes to size-related
516 variables.
517
518 =item on_child_start $term, $pid
519
520 Called just after the child process has been C<fork>ed.
521
522 =item on_child_exit $term, $status
523
524 Called just after the child process has exited. C<$status> is the status
525 from C<waitpid>.
526
527 =item on_sel_make $term, $eventtime
528
529 Called whenever a selection has been made by the user, but before the
530 selection text is copied, so changes to the beginning, end or type of the
531 selection will be honored.
532
533 Returning a true value aborts selection making by urxvt, in which case you
534 have to make a selection yourself by calling C<< $term->selection_grab >>.
535
536 =item on_sel_grab $term, $eventtime
537
538 Called whenever a selection has been copied, but before the selection is
539 requested from the server. The selection text can be queried and changed
540 by calling C<< $term->selection >>.
541
542 Returning a true value aborts selection grabbing. It will still be highlighted.
543
544 =item on_sel_extend $term
545
546 Called whenever the user tries to extend the selection (e.g. with a double
547 click) and is either supposed to return false (normal operation), or
548 should extend the selection itself and return true to suppress the built-in
549 processing. This can happen multiple times, as long as the callback
550 returns true, it will be called on every further click by the user and is
551 supposed to enlarge the selection more and more, if possible.
552
553 See the F<selection> example extension.
554
555 =item on_view_change $term, $offset
556
557 Called whenever the view offset changes, i.e. the user or program
558 scrolls. Offset C<0> means display the normal terminal, positive values
559 show this many lines of scrollback.
560
561 =item on_scroll_back $term, $lines, $saved
562
563 Called whenever lines scroll out of the terminal area into the scrollback
564 buffer. C<$lines> is the number of lines scrolled out and may be larger
565 than the scroll back buffer or the terminal.
566
567 It is called before lines are scrolled out (so rows 0 .. min ($lines - 1,
568 $nrow - 1) represent the lines to be scrolled out). C<$saved> is the total
569 number of lines that will be in the scrollback buffer.
570
571 =item on_osc_seq $term, $op, $args, $resp
572
573 Called on every OSC sequence and can be used to suppress it or modify its
574 behaviour. The default should be to return an empty list. A true value
575 suppresses execution of the request completely. Make sure you don't get
576 confused by recursive invocations when you output an OSC sequence within
577 this callback.
578
579 C<on_osc_seq_perl> should be used for new behaviour.
580
581 =item on_osc_seq_perl $term, $args, $resp
582
583 Called whenever the B<ESC ] 777 ; string ST> command sequence (OSC =
584 operating system command) is processed. Cursor position and other state
585 information is up-to-date when this happens. For interoperability, the
586 string should start with the extension name (sans -osc) and a semicolon,
587 to distinguish it from commands for other extensions, and this might be
588 enforced in the future.
589
590 For example, C<overlay-osc> uses this:
591
592 sub on_osc_seq_perl {
593 my ($self, $osc, $resp) = @_;
594
595 return unless $osc =~ s/^overlay;//;
596
597 ... process remaining $osc string
598 }
599
600 Be careful not ever to trust (in a security sense) the data you receive,
601 as its source can not easily be controlled (e-mail content, messages from
602 other users on the same system etc.).
603
604 For responses, C<$resp> contains the end-of-args separator used by the
605 sender.
606
607 =item on_add_lines $term, $string
608
609 Called whenever text is about to be output, with the text as argument. You
610 can filter/change and output the text yourself by returning a true value
611 and calling C<< $term->scr_add_lines >> yourself. Please note that this
612 might be very slow, however, as your hook is called for B<all> text being
613 output.
614
615 =item on_tt_write $term, $octets
616
617 Called whenever some data is written to the tty/pty and can be used to
618 suppress or filter tty input.
619
620 =item on_tt_paste $term, $octets
621
622 Called whenever text is about to be pasted, with the text as argument. You
623 can filter/change and paste the text yourself by returning a true value
624 and calling C<< $term->tt_paste >> yourself. C<$octets> is
625 locale-encoded.
626
627 =item on_line_update $term, $row
628
629 Called whenever a line was updated or changed. Can be used to filter
630 screen output (e.g. underline urls or other useless stuff). Only lines
631 that are being shown will be filtered, and, due to performance reasons,
632 not always immediately.
633
634 The row number is always the topmost row of the line if the line spans
635 multiple rows.
636
637 Please note that, if you change the line, then the hook might get called
638 later with the already-modified line (e.g. if unrelated parts change), so
639 you cannot just toggle rendition bits, but only set them.
640
641 =item on_refresh_begin $term
642
643 Called just before the screen gets redrawn. Can be used for overlay or
644 similar effects by modifying the terminal contents in refresh_begin, and
645 restoring them in refresh_end. The built-in overlay and selection display
646 code is run after this hook, and takes precedence.
647
648 =item on_refresh_end $term
649
650 Called just after the screen gets redrawn. See C<on_refresh_begin>.
651
652 =item on_user_command $term, $string
653
654 Called whenever a user-configured event is being activated (e.g. via
655 a C<perl:string> action bound to a key, see description of the B<keysym>
656 resource in the @@RXVT_NAME@@(1) manpage).
657
658 The event is simply the action string. This interface is assumed to change
659 slightly in the future.
660
661 =item on_resize_all_windows $term, $new_width, $new_height
662
663 Called just after the new window size has been calculated, but before
664 windows are actually being resized or hints are being set. If this hook
665 returns TRUE, setting of the window hints is being skipped.
666
667 =item on_x_event $term, $event
668
669 Called on every X event received on the vt window (and possibly other
670 windows). Should only be used as a last resort. Most event structure
671 members are not passed.
672
673 =item on_root_event $term, $event
674
675 Like C<on_x_event>, but is called for events on the root window.
676
677 =item on_focus_in $term
678
679 Called whenever the window gets the keyboard focus, before rxvt-unicode
680 does focus in processing.
681
682 =item on_focus_out $term
683
684 Called whenever the window loses keyboard focus, before rxvt-unicode does
685 focus out processing.
686
687 =item on_configure_notify $term, $event
688
689 =item on_property_notify $term, $event
690
691 =item on_key_press $term, $event, $keysym, $octets
692

700
701 =item on_map_notify $term, $event
702
703 =item on_unmap_notify $term, $event
704
705 Called whenever the corresponding X event is received for the terminal. If
706 the hook returns true, then the event will be ignored by rxvt-unicode.
707
708 The event is a hash with most values as named by Xlib (see the XEvent
709 manpage), with the additional members C<row> and C<col>, which are the
710 (real, not screen-based) row and column under the mouse cursor.
711
712 C<on_key_press> additionally receives the string rxvt-unicode would
713 output, if any, in locale-specific encoding.

718
719 =item on_wm_protocols $term, $event
720
721 =item on_wm_delete_window $term, $event
722
723 Called when various types of ClientMessage events are received (all with
724 format=32, WM_PROTOCOLS or WM_PROTOCOLS:WM_DELETE_WINDOW).
725
726 =item on_bell $term
727

764 modules and scripts are stored.
765
766 =item $urxvt::RESCLASS, $urxvt::RESCLASS
767
768 The resource class and name rxvt-unicode uses to look up X resources.
769
770 =item $urxvt::RXVTNAME
771
772 The basename of the installed binaries, usually C<urxvt>.
773
774 =item $urxvt::TERM
775
776 The current terminal. This variable stores the current C<urxvt::term>
777 object, whenever a callback/hook is executing.
778
779 =item @urxvt::TERM_INIT
780
781 All code references in this array will be called as methods of the next newly
782 created C<urxvt::term> object (during the C<on_init> phase). The array
783 gets cleared before the code references that were in it are being executed,
784 so references can push themselves onto it again if they so desire.
785
786 This complements to the perl-eval command line option, but gets executed
787 first.
788
789 =item @urxvt::TERM_EXT
790
791 Works similar to C<@TERM_INIT>, but contains perl package/class names, which
792 get registered as normal extensions after calling the hooks in C<@TERM_INIT>
793 but before other extensions. Gets cleared just like C<@TERM_INIT>.

800
801 =item urxvt::fatal $errormessage
802
803 Fatally aborts execution with the given error message. Avoid at all
804 costs! The only time this is acceptable is when the terminal process
805 starts up.
806
807 =item urxvt::warn $string
808
809 Calls C<rxvt_warn> with the given string which should not include a
810 newline. The module also overwrites the C<warn> builtin with a function
811 that calls this function.
812
813 Using this function has the advantage that its output ends up in the
814 correct place, e.g. on stderr of the connecting urxvtc client.
815
816 Messages have a size limit of 1023 bytes currently.
817
818 =item @terms = urxvt::termlist
819
820 Returns all urxvt::term objects that exist in this process, regardless of
821 whether they are started, being destroyed etc., so be careful. Only term
822 objects that have perl extensions attached will be returned (because there
823 is no urxvt::term objet associated with others).
824

856
857 Rendition bitsets contain information about colour, font, font styles and
858 similar information for each screen cell.
859
860 The following "macros" deal with changes in rendition sets. You should
861 never just create a bitset, you should always modify an existing one,
862 as they contain important information required for correct operation of
863 rxvt-unicode.
864
865 =over 4
866
867 =item $rend = urxvt::DEFAULT_RSTYLE
868
869 Returns the default rendition, as used when the terminal is starting up or
870 being reset. Useful as a base to start when creating renditions.
871
872 =item $rend = urxvt::OVERLAY_RSTYLE
873
874 Return the rendition mask used for overlays by default.
875
876 =item $rendbit = urxvt::RS_Bold, urxvt::RS_Italic, urxvt::RS_Blink,
877 urxvt::RS_RVid, urxvt::RS_Uline
878
879 Return the bit that enabled bold, italic, blink, reverse-video and
880 underline, respectively. To enable such a style, just logically OR it into
881 the bitset.

883 =item $foreground = urxvt::GET_BASEFG $rend

1249 =item $term = new urxvt::term $envhashref, $rxvtname, [arg...]
1250
1251 Creates a new terminal, very similar as if you had started it with system
1252 C<$rxvtname, arg...>. C<$envhashref> must be a reference to a C<%ENV>-like
1253 hash which defines the environment of the new terminal.
1254
1255 Croaks (and probably outputs an error message) if the new instance
1256 couldn't be created. Returns C<undef> if the new instance didn't
1257 initialise perl, and the terminal object otherwise. The C<init> and
1258 C<start> hooks will be called before this call returns, and are free to
1259 refer to global data (which is race free).

1274 Destroy the terminal object (close the window, free resources

1276 watchers (timers, io watchers) are still active.
1277
1278 =item $term->exec_async ($cmd[, @args])
1279
1280 Works like the combination of the C<fork>/C<exec> builtins, which executes
1281 ("starts") programs in the background. This function takes care of setting
1282 the user environment before exec'ing the command (e.g. C<PATH>) and should
1283 be preferred over explicit calls to C<exec> or C<system>.
1284
1285 Returns the pid of the subprocess or C<undef> on error.

1307 C<%urxvt::OPTION>. Options not enabled in this binary are not in the hash.

1319 =item $value = $term->resource ($name[, $newval])
1320
1321 Returns the current resource value associated with a given name and
1322 optionally sets a new value. Setting values is most useful in the C<init>
1323 hook. Unset resources are returned and accepted as C<undef>.
1324
1325 The new value must be properly encoded to a suitable character encoding
1326 before passing it to this method. Similarly, the returned value may need
1327 to be converted from the used encoding to text.
1328
1329 Resource names are as defined in F<src/rsinc.h>. Colours can be specified
1330 as resource names of the form C<< color+<index> >>, e.g. C<color+5>. (will
1331 likely change).
1332
1333 Please note that resource strings will currently only be freed when the
1334 terminal is destroyed, so changing options frequently will eat memory.

1360 }
1361
1362 =item $value = $term->x_resource ($pattern)
1363
1364 Returns the X-Resource for the given pattern, excluding the program or
1365 class name, i.e. C<< $term->x_resource ("boldFont") >> should return the
1366 same value as used by this instance of rxvt-unicode. Returns C<undef> if no
1367 resource with that pattern exists.
1368
1369 This method should only be called during the C<on_start> hook, as there is
1370 only one resource database per display, and later invocations might return
1371 the wrong resources.
1372
1373 =item $success = $term->parse_keysym ($keysym_spec, $command_string)
1374
1375 Adds a keymap translation exactly as specified via a resource. See the
1376 C<keysym> resource in the @@RXVT_NAME@@(1) manpage.
1377
1378 =item $rend = $term->rstyle ([$new_rstyle])
1379
1380 Return and optionally change the current rendition. Text that is output by
1381 the terminal application will use this style.
1382
1383 =item ($row, $col) = $term->screen_cur ([$row, $col])
1384
1385 Return the current coordinates of the text cursor position and optionally
1386 set it (which is usually bad as applications don't expect that).
1387
1388 =item ($row, $col) = $term->selection_mark ([$row, $col])
1389
1390 =item ($row, $col) = $term->selection_beg ([$row, $col])
1391
1392 =item ($row, $col) = $term->selection_end ([$row, $col])
1393
1394 Return the current values of the selection mark, begin or end positions.
1395
1396 When arguments are given, then the selection coordinates are set to
1397 C<$row> and C<$col>, and the selection screen is set to the current
1398 screen.
1399
1400 =item $screen = $term->selection_screen ([$screen])
1401
1402 Returns the current selection screen, and then optionally sets it.
1403
1404 =item $term->selection_make ($eventtime[, $rectangular])
1405
1406 Tries to make a selection as set by C<selection_beg> and
1407 C<selection_end>. If C<$rectangular> is true (default: false), a
1408 rectangular selection will be made. This is the preferred function to make
1409 a selection.
1410
1411 =item $success = $term->selection_grab ($eventtime[, $clipboard])
1412
1413 Try to acquire ownership of the primary (clipboard if C<$clipboard> is
1414 true) selection from the server. The corresponding text can be set
1415 with the next method. No visual feedback will be given. This function
1416 is mostly useful from within C<on_sel_grab> hooks.
1417
1418 =item $oldtext = $term->selection ([$newtext, $clipboard])
1419
1420 Return the current selection (clipboard if C<$clipboard> is true) text
1421 and optionally replace it by C<$newtext>.
1422
1423 =item $term->selection_clear ([$clipboard])
1424
1425 Revoke ownership of the primary (clipboard if C<$clipboard> is true) selection.
1426
1427 =item $term->overlay_simple ($x, $y, $text)

1442
1443 $overlay
1444 }
1445
1446 =item $term->overlay ($x, $y, $width, $height[, $rstyle[, $border]])
1447
1448 Create a new (empty) overlay at the given position with the given
1449 width/height. C<$rstyle> defines the initial rendition style
1450 (default: C<OVERLAY_RSTYLE>).
1451
1452 If C<$border> is C<2> (default), then a decorative border will be put
1453 around the box.
1454
1455 If either C<$x> or C<$y> is negative, then this is counted from the
1456 right/bottom side, respectively.
1457
1458 This method returns an urxvt::overlay object. The overlay will be visible
1459 as long as the perl object is referenced.
1460
1461 The methods currently supported on C<urxvt::overlay> objects are:
1462
1463 =over 4
1464
1465 =item $overlay->set ($x, $y, $text[, $rend])
1466
1467 Similar to C<< $term->ROW_t >> and C<< $term->ROW_r >> in that it puts
1468 text in rxvt-unicode's special encoding and an array of rendition values
1469 at a specific position inside the overlay.
1470
1471 If C<$rend> is missing, then the rendition will not be changed.
1472
1473 =item $overlay->hide
1474
1475 If visible, hide the overlay, but do not destroy it.
1476
1477 =item $overlay->show
1478
1479 If hidden, display the overlay again.
1480
1481 =back
1482
1483 =item $popup = $term->popup ($event)
1484
1485 Creates a new C<urxvt::popup> object that implements a popup menu. The
1486 C<$event> I<must> be the event causing the menu to pop up (a button event,
1487 currently).
1488

1505 Scalar::Util::weaken $self->{_destroy}{$popup};
1506
1507 $popup
1508 }
1509
1510 =item $cellwidth = $term->strwidth ($string)
1511
1512 Returns the number of screen-cells this string would need. Correctly
1513 accounts for wide and combining characters.
1514
1515 =item $octets = $term->locale_encode ($string)
1516
1517 Convert the given text string into the corresponding locale encoding.
1518
1519 =item $string = $term->locale_decode ($octets)
1520
1521 Convert the given locale-encoded octets into a perl string.
1522
1523 =item $term->scr_xor_span ($beg_row, $beg_col, $end_row, $end_col[, $rstyle])
1524
1525 XORs the rendition values in the given span with the provided value
1526 (default: C<RS_RVid>), which I<MUST NOT> contain font styles. Useful in
1527 refresh hooks to provide effects similar to the selection.
1528
1529 =item $term->scr_xor_rect ($beg_row, $beg_col, $end_row, $end_col[, $rstyle1[, $rstyle2]])
1530
1531 Similar to C<scr_xor_span>, but xors a rectangle instead. Trailing
1532 whitespace will additionally be xored with the C<$rstyle2>, which defaults
1533 to C<RS_RVid | RS_Uline>, which removes reverse video again and underlines
1534 it instead. Both styles I<MUST NOT> contain font styles.
1535
1536 =item $term->scr_bell
1537
1538 Ring the bell!
1539
1540 =item $term->scr_add_lines ($string)
1541
1542 Write the given text string to the screen, as if output by the application
1543 running inside the terminal. It may not contain command sequences (escape
1544 codes), but is free to use line feeds, carriage returns and tabs. The
1545 string is a normal text string, not in locale-dependent encoding.
1546
1547 Normally its not a good idea to use this function, as programs might be
1548 confused by changes in cursor position or scrolling. Its useful inside a
1549 C<on_add_lines> hook, though.
1550
1551 =item $term->scr_change_screen ($screen)
1552
1553 Switch to given screen - 0 primary, 1 secondary.
1554
1555 =item $term->cmd_parse ($octets)
1556
1557 Similar to C<scr_add_lines>, but the argument must be in the
1558 locale-specific encoding of the terminal and can contain command sequences
1559 (escape codes) that will be interpreted.
1560
1561 =item $term->tt_write ($octets)
1562
1563 Write the octets given in C<$octets> to the tty (i.e. as program input). To
1564 pass characters instead of octets, you should convert your strings first
1565 to the locale-specific encoding using C<< $term->locale_encode >>.
1566
1567 =item $term->tt_paste ($octets)
1568
1569 Write the octets given in C<$octets> to the tty as a paste, converting NL to
1570 CR and bracketing the data with control sequences if bracketed paste mode
1571 is set.
1572
1573 =item $old_events = $term->pty_ev_events ([$new_events])
1574
1575 Replaces the event mask of the pty watcher by the given event mask. Can
1576 be used to suppress input and output handling to the pty/tty. See the
1577 description of C<< urxvt::timer->events >>. Make sure to always restore
1578 the previous value.
1579
1580 =item $fd = $term->pty_fd
1581
1582 Returns the master file descriptor for the pty in use, or C<-1> if no pty
1583 is used.
1584
1585 =item $windowid = $term->parent
1586
1587 Return the window id of the toplevel window.
1588
1589 =item $windowid = $term->vt
1590
1591 Return the window id of the terminal window.
1592
1593 =item $term->vt_emask_add ($x_event_mask)
1594
1595 Adds the specified events to the vt event mask. Useful e.g. when you want
1596 to receive pointer events all the times:
1597
1598 $term->vt_emask_add (urxvt::PointerMotionMask);
1599
1600 =item $term->focus_in

1603
1604 =item $term->key_press ($state, $keycode[, $time])

1633
1634 Return various integers describing terminal characteristics.
1635
1636 =item $x_display = $term->display_id
1637
1638 Return the DISPLAY used by rxvt-unicode.
1639
1640 =item $lc_ctype = $term->locale
1641
1642 Returns the LC_CTYPE category string used by this rxvt-unicode.
1643
1644 =item $env = $term->env
1645
1646 Returns a copy of the environment in effect for the terminal as a hashref
1647 similar to C<\%ENV>.
1648
1649 =item @envv = $term->envv
1650
1651 Returns the environment as array of strings of the form C<VAR=VALUE>.
1652
1653 =item @argv = $term->argv
1654
1655 Return the argument vector as this terminal, similar to @ARGV, but
1656 includes the program name as first element.

1665
1666 =item $modifiermask = $term->ModMetaMask
1667
1668 =item $modifiermask = $term->ModNumLockMask
1669
1670 Return the modifier masks corresponding to the "ISO Level 3 Shift" (often
1671 AltGr), the meta key (often Alt) and the num lock key, if applicable.
1672
1673 =item $screen = $term->current_screen
1674
1675 Returns the currently displayed screen (0 primary, 1 secondary).
1676
1677 =item $cursor_is_hidden = $term->hidden_cursor
1678
1679 Returns whether the cursor is currently hidden or not.
1680
1681 =item $view_start = $term->view_start ([$newvalue])
1682
1683 Returns the row number of the topmost displayed line. Maximum value is
1684 C<0>, which displays the normal terminal contents. Lower values scroll
1685 this many lines into the scrollback buffer.
1686
1687 =item $term->want_refresh
1688
1689 Requests a screen refresh. At the next opportunity, rxvt-unicode will
1690 compare the on-screen display with its stored representation. If they
1691 differ, it redraws the differences.
1692
1693 Used after changing terminal contents to display them.
1694
1695 =item $text = $term->ROW_t ($row_number[, $new_text[, $start_col]])
1696
1697 Returns the text of the entire row with number C<$row_number>. Row C<< $term->top_row >>
1698 is the topmost terminal line, row C<< $term->nrow-1 >> is the bottommost
1699 terminal line. Nothing will be returned if a nonexistent line
1700 is requested.
1701
1702 If C<$new_text> is specified, it will replace characters in the current
1703 line, starting at column C<$start_col> (default C<0>), which is useful
1704 to replace only parts of a line. The font index in the rendition will
1705 automatically be updated.
1706
1707 C<$text> is in a special encoding: tabs and wide characters that use more
1708 than one cell when displayed are padded with C<$urxvt::NOCHAR> (chr 65535)
1709 characters. Characters with combining characters and other characters that
1710 do not fit into the normal text encoding will be replaced with characters
1711 in the private use area.

1713 You have to obey this encoding when changing text. The advantage is
1714 that C<substr> and similar functions work on screen cells and not on
1715 characters.
1716
1717 The methods C<< $term->special_encode >> and C<< $term->special_decode >>
1718 can be used to convert normal strings into this encoding and vice versa.
1719
1720 =item $rend = $term->ROW_r ($row_number[, $new_rend[, $start_col]])
1721
1722 Like C<< $term->ROW_t >>, but returns an arrayref with rendition
1723 bitsets. Rendition bitsets contain information about colour, font, font
1724 styles and similar information. See also C<< $term->ROW_t >>.
1725
1726 When setting rendition, the font mask will be ignored.
1727
1728 See the section on RENDITION, above.
1729
1730 =item $length = $term->ROW_l ($row_number[, $new_length])
1731
1732 Returns the number of screen cells that are in use ("the line
1733 length"). Unlike the urxvt core, this returns C<< $term->ncol >> if the
1734 line is joined with the following one.
1735
1736 =item $bool = $term->is_longer ($row_number)
1737
1738 Returns true if the row is part of a multiple-row logical "line" (i.e.
1739 joined with the following row), which means all characters are in use
1740 and it is continued on the next row (and possibly a continuation of the
1741 previous row(s)).
1742
1743 =item $line = $term->line ($row_number)
1744
1745 Create and return a new C<urxvt::line> object that stores information
1746 about the logical line that row C<$row_number> is part of. It supports the
1747 following methods:
1748
1749 =over 4
1750
1751 =item $text = $line->t ([$new_text])
1752
1753 Returns or replaces the full text of the line, similar to C<ROW_t>
1754
1755 =item $rend = $line->r ([$new_rend])
1756
1757 Returns or replaces the full rendition array of the line, similar to C<ROW_r>
1758
1759 =item $length = $line->l
1760
1761 Returns the length of the line in cells, similar to C<ROW_l>.
1762
1763 =item $rownum = $line->beg
1764
1765 =item $rownum = $line->end
1766
1767 Return the row number of the first/last row of the line, respectively.
1768
1769 =item $offset = $line->offset_of ($row, $col)
1770
1771 Returns the character offset of the given row|col pair within the logical
1772 line. Works for rows outside the line, too, and returns corresponding
1773 offsets outside the string.
1774
1775 =item ($row, $col) = $line->coord_of ($offset)
1776
1777 Translates a string offset into terminal coordinates again.
