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:

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_osc_seq $term, $string
178
179 Called whenever the B<ESC ] 777 ; string ST> command sequence (OSC =
180 operating system command) is processed. Cursor position and other state
181 information is up-to-date when this happens. For interoperability, the
182 string should start with the extension name and a colon, to distinguish
183 it from commands for other extensions, and this might be enforced in the
184 future.
185
186 Be careful not ever to trust (in a security sense) the data you receive,
187 as its source can not easily be controleld (e-mail content, messages from
188 other users on the same system etc.).
189
190 =item on_refresh_begin $term
191
192 Called just before the screen gets redrawn. Can be used for overlay
193 or similar effects by modify terminal contents in refresh_begin, and
194 restoring them in refresh_end. The built-in overlay and selection display
195 code is run after this hook, and takes precedence.
196
197 =item on_refresh_end $term
198
199 Called just after the screen gets redrawn. See C<on_refresh_begin>.
200
201 =item on_keyboard_command $term, $string
202
203 Called whenever the user presses a key combination that has a
204 C<perl:string> action bound to it (see description of the B<keysym>
205 resource in the @@RXVT_NAME@@(1) manpage).

209 =head2 Variables in the C<urxvt> Package
210
211 =over 4
212
213 =item $urxvt::TERM
214
215 The current terminal. Whenever a callback/Hook is bein executed, this
216 variable stores the current C<urxvt::term> object.

220 =head2 Functions in the C<urxvt> Package
221
222 =over 4
223
224 =item urxvt::fatal $errormessage
225
226 Fatally aborts execution with the given error message. Avoid at all
227 costs! The only time this is acceptable is when the terminal process
228 starts up.
229
230 =item urxvt::warn $string
231
232 Calls C<rxvt_warn> with the given string which should not include a
233 newline. The module also overwrites the C<warn> builtin with a function
234 that calls this function.
235
236 Using this function has the advantage that its output ends up in the
237 correct place, e.g. on stderr of the connecting urxvtc client.
238
239 =item $time = urxvt::NOW
240
241 Returns the "current time" (as per the event loop).
242
243 =back
244
245 =head2 RENDITION
246
247 Rendition bitsets contain information about colour, font, font styles and
248 similar information for each screen cell.
249
250 The following "macros" deal with changes in rendition sets. You should
251 never just create a bitset, you should always modify an existing one,
252 as they contain important information required for correct operation of
253 rxvt-unicode.
254
255 =over 4
256
257 =item $rend = urxvt::DEFAULT_RSTYLE
258
259 Returns the default rendition, as used when the terminal is starting up or
260 being reset. Useful as a base to start when creating renditions.
261
262 =item $rend = urxvt::OVERLAY_RSTYLE
263
264 Return the rendition mask used for overlays by default.
265
266 =item $rendbit = urxvt::RS_Bold, RS_Italic, RS_Blink, RS_RVid, RS_Uline
267
268 Return the bit that enabled bold, italic, blink, reverse-video and
269 underline, respectively. To enable such a style, just logically OR it into
270 the bitset.
271
272 =item $foreground = urxvt::GET_BASEFG $rend
273
274 =item $background = urxvt::GET_BASEBG $rend
275
276 Return the foreground/background colour index, respectively.
277
278 =item $rend = urxvt::SET_FGCOLOR ($rend, $new_colour)
279
280 =item $rend = urxvt::SET_BGCOLOR ($rend, $new_colour)
281
282 Replace the foreground/background colour in the rendition mask with the
283 specified one.
284
285 =item $value = urxvt::GET_CUSTOM ($rend)
286
287 Return the "custom" value: Every rendition has 5 bits for use by
288 extensions. They can be set and changed as you like and are initially
289 zero.
290
291 =item $rend = urxvt::SET_CUSTOM ($rend, $new_value)
292
293 Change the custom value.

440 =item $value = $term->resource ($name[, $newval])
441
442 Returns the current resource value associated with a given name and
443 optionally sets a new value. Setting values is most useful in the C<init>
444 hook. Unset resources are returned and accepted as C<undef>.
445
446 The new value must be properly encoded to a suitable character encoding
447 before passing it to this method. Similarly, the returned value may need
448 to be converted from the used encoding to text.
449
450 Resource names are as defined in F<src/rsinc.h>. Colours can be specified
451 as resource names of the form C<< color+<index> >>, e.g. C<color+5>. (will
452 likely change).
453
454 Please note that resource strings will currently only be freed when the
455 terminal is destroyed, so changing options frequently will eat memory.

522
523 Create a new (empty) overlay at the given position with the given
524 width/height. C<$rstyle> defines the initial rendition style
525 (default: C<OVERLAY_RSTYLE>).
526
527 If C<$border> is C<2> (default), then a decorative border will be put
528 around the box.

530 If either C<$x> or C<$y> is negative, then this is counted from the
531 right/bottom side, respectively.
532
533 This method returns an urxvt::overlay object. The overlay will be visible
534 as long as the perl object is referenced.

538 =over 4
539
540 =item $overlay->set ($x, $y, $text, $rend)
541
542 Similar to C<< $term->ROW_t >> and C<< $term->ROW_r >> in that it puts
543 text in rxvt-unicode's special encoding and an array of rendition values
544 at a specific position inside the overlay.
545
546 =item $overlay->hide
547
548 If visible, hide the overlay, but do not destroy it.
549

551
552 If hidden, display the overlay again.
553
554 =back
555
556 =item $cellwidth = $term->strwidth $string
557
558 Returns the number of screen-cells this string would need. Correctly
559 accounts for wide and combining characters.
560
561 =item $octets = $term->locale_encode $string
562
563 Convert the given text string into the corresponding locale encoding.
564
565 =item $string = $term->locale_decode $octets
566
567 Convert the given locale-encoded octets into a perl string.
568
569 =item $term->tt_write ($octets)
570
571 Write the octets given in C<$data> to the tty (i.e. as program input). To
572 pass characters instead of octets, you should convert your strings first
573 to the locale-specific encoding using C<< $term->locale_encode >>.
574
575 =item $nrow = $term->nrow
576
577 =item $ncol = $term->ncol
578
579 Return the number of rows/columns of the terminal window (i.e. as
580 specified by C<-geometry>, excluding any scrollback).
581
582 =item $nsaved = $term->nsaved
583
584 Returns the number of lines in the scrollback buffer.
585
586 =item $view_start = $term->view_start ([$newvalue])
587
588 Returns the negative row number of the topmost line. Minimum value is
589 C<0>, which displays the normal terminal contents. Larger values scroll
590 this many lines into the scrollback buffer.
591
592 =item $term->want_refresh
593
594 Requests a screen refresh. At the next opportunity, rxvt-unicode will
595 compare the on-screen display with its stored representation. If they
596 differ, it redraws the differences.
597
598 Used after changing terminal contents to display them.
599
600 =item $text = $term->ROW_t ($row_number[, $new_text[, $start_col]])
601
602 Returns the text of the entire row with number C<$row_number>. Row C<0>
603 is the topmost terminal line, row C<< $term->$ncol-1 >> is the bottommost
604 terminal line. The scrollback buffer starts at line C<-1> and extends to
605 line C<< -$term->nsaved >>. Nothing will be returned if a nonexistent line
606 is requested.
607
608 If C<$new_text> is specified, it will replace characters in the current
609 line, starting at column C<$start_col> (default C<0>), which is useful
610 to replace only parts of a line. The font index in the rendition will
611 automatically be updated.
612
613 C<$text> is in a special encoding: tabs and wide characters that use more
614 than one cell when displayed are padded with urxvt::NOCHAR characters
615 (C<chr 65535>). Characters with combining characters and other characters
616 that do not fit into the normal tetx encoding will be replaced with
617 characters in the private use area.
618
619 You have to obey this encoding when changing text. The advantage is
620 that C<substr> and similar functions work on screen cells and not on
621 characters.
622
623 The methods C<< $term->special_encode >> and C<< $term->special_decode >>
624 can be used to convert normal strings into this encoding and vice versa.
625
626 =item $rend = $term->ROW_r ($row_number[, $new_rend[, $start_col]])
627
628 Like C<< $term->ROW_t >>, but returns an arrayref with rendition
629 bitsets. Rendition bitsets contain information about colour, font, font
630 styles and similar information. See also C<< $term->ROW_t >>.
631
632 When setting rendition, the font mask will be ignored.
633
634 See the section on RENDITION, above.
635
636 =item $length = $term->ROW_l ($row_number[, $new_length])
637
638 Returns the number of screen cells that are in use ("the line
639 length"). Unlike the urxvt core, this returns C<< $term->ncol >> if the
640 line is joined with the following one.
641
642 =item $bool = $term->is_longer ($row_number)
643
644 Returns true if the row is part of a multiple-row logical "line" (i.e.
645 joined with the following row), which means all characters are in use
646 and it is continued on the next row (and possibly a continuation of the
647 previous row(s)).
648
649 =item $line = $term->line ($row_number)
650
651 Create and return a new C<urxvt::line> object that stores information
652 about the logical line that row C<$row_number> is part of. It supports the
653 following methods:
654
655 =over 4
656
657 =item $text = $line->t
658
659 Returns the full text of the line, similar to C<ROW_t>
660
661 =item $rend = $line->r
662
663 Returns the full rendition array of the line, similar to C<ROW_r>
664
665 =item $length = $line->l
666
667 Returns the length of the line in cells, similar to C<ROW_l>.
668
669 =item $rownum = $line->beg
670
671 =item $rownum = $line->end
672
673 Return the row number of the first/last row of the line, respectively.
674
675 =item $offset = $line->offset_of ($row, $col)
676
677 Returns the character offset of the given row|col pair within the logical
678 line.
679
680 =item ($row, $col) = $line->coord_of ($offset)
681
682 Translates a string offset into terminal coordinates again.

758 =head2 The C<urxvt::timer> Class
759
760 This class implements timer watchers/events. Time is represented as a
761 fractional number of seconds since the epoch. Example:
762
763 $term->{overlay} = $term->overlay (-1, 0, 8, 1, urxvt::OVERLAY_RSTYLE, 0);
764 $term->{timer} = urxvt::timer
765 ->new
766 ->interval (1)
767 ->cb (sub {
768 $term->{overlay}->set (0, 0,
769 sprintf "%2d:%02d:%02d", (localtime urxvt::NOW)[2,1,0]);
770 });
771
772 =over 4
773
774 =item $timer = new urxvt::timer
775
776 Create a new timer object in started state. It is scheduled to fire
777 immediately.
778
779 =item $timer = $timer->cb (sub { my ($timer) = @_; ... })
780
781 Set the callback to be called when the timer triggers.
782
783 =item $tstamp = $timer->at
784
785 Return the time this watcher will fire next.
786
787 =item $timer = $timer->set ($tstamp)
788
789 Set the time the event is generated to $tstamp.
790
791 =item $timer = $timer->interval ($interval)
792
793 Normally (and when C<$interval> is C<0>), the timer will automatically
794 stop after it has fired once. If C<$interval> is non-zero, then the timer
795 is automatically rescheduled at the given intervals.
796
797 =item $timer = $timer->start
798
799 Start the timer.
800
801 =item $timer = $timer->start ($tstamp)
802
803 Set the event trigger time to C<$tstamp> and start the timer.
804
805 =item $timer = $timer->stop
806
807 Stop the timer.
808
809 =back
810
811 =head2 The C<urxvt::iow> Class
812
813 This class implements io watchers/events. Example:
814
815 $term->{socket} = ...
816 $term->{iow} = urxvt::iow
817 ->new
818 ->fd (fileno $term->{socket})
819 ->events (1) # wait for read data
820 ->start
821 ->cb (sub {
822 my ($iow, $revents) = @_;
823 # $revents must be 1 here, no need to check
824 sysread $term->{socket}, my $buf, 8192
825 or end-of-file;
826 });
827
828
829 =over 4
830
831 =item $iow = new urxvt::iow
832
833 Create a new io watcher object in stopped state.
834
835 =item $iow = $iow->cb (sub { my ($iow, $reventmask) = @_; ... })
836
837 Set the callback to be called when io events are triggered. C<$reventmask>
838 is a bitset as described in the C<events> method.
839
840 =item $iow = $iow->fd ($fd)
841
842 Set the filedescriptor (not handle) to watch.
843
844 =item $iow = $iow->events ($eventmask)
845
846 Set the event mask to watch. Bit #0 (value C<1>) enables watching for read
847 data, Bit #1 (value C<2>) enables watching for write data.
848
849 =item $iow = $iow->start
850
851 Start watching for requested events on the given handle.
852
853 =item $iow = $iow->stop
854
855 Stop watching for events on the given filehandle.
