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 filtering (C<on_line_update>) to underline urls.
68
69 =item example-refresh-hooks
70
71 Displays a very simple digital clock in the upper right corner of the
72 window. Illustrates overwriting the refresh callbacks to create your own
73 overlays or changes.
74
75 =item example-filter-input
76
77 A not very useful example of filtering all text output to the terminal, by
78 underlining all urls that matches a certain regex (i.e. some urls :). It
79 is not very useful because urls that are output in multiple steps (e.g.
80 when typing them) do not get marked.

83
84 =head2 General API Considerations
85
86 All objects (such as terminals, time watchers etc.) are typical
87 reference-to-hash objects. The hash can be used to store anything you
88 like. All members starting with an underscore (such as C<_ptr> or
89 C<_hook>) are reserved for internal uses and B<MUST NOT> be accessed or
90 modified).
91
92 When objects are destroyed on the C++ side, the perl object hashes are
93 emptied, so its best to store related objects such as time watchers and
94 the like inside the terminal object so they get destroyed as soon as the
95 terminal is destroyed.
96
97 Argument names also often indicate the type of a parameter. Here are some
98 hints on what they mean:
99
100 =over 4
101
102 =item $text
103
104 Rxvt-unicodes special way of encoding text, where one "unicode" character
105 always represents one screen cell. See L<row_t> for a discussion of this format.
106
107 =item $string
108
109 A perl text string, with an emphasis on I<text>. It can store all unicode
110 characters and is to be distinguished with text encoded in a specific
111 encoding (often locale-specific) and binary data.
112
113 =item $octets
114
115 Either binary data or - more common - a text string encoded in a
116 locale-specific way.
117
118 =back
119
120 =head2 Hooks
121
122 The following subroutines can be declared in loaded scripts, and will be
123 called whenever the relevant event happens.
124
125 The first argument passed to them is an object private to each terminal
126 and extension package. You can call all C<urxvt::term> methods on it, but
127 its not a real C<urxvt::term> object. Instead, the real C<urxvt::term>
128 object that is shared between all packages is stored in the C<term>
129 member.
130
131 All of them must return a boolean value. If it is true, then the event
132 counts as being I<consumed>, and the invocation of other hooks is skipped,
133 and the relevant action might not be carried out by the C++ code.
134
135 When in doubt, return a false value (preferably C<()>).
136
137 =over 4
138
139 =item on_init $term
140
141 Called after a new terminal object has been initialized, but before
142 windows are created or the command gets run. Most methods are unsafe to
143 call or deliver senseless data, as terminal size and other characteristics
144 have not yet been determined. You can safely query and change resources,
145 though.
146
147 =item on_reset $term
148
149 Called after the screen is "reset" for any reason, such as resizing or
150 control sequences. Here is where you can react on changes to size-related
151 variables.
152
153 =item on_start $term
154
155 Called at the very end of initialisation of a new terminal, just before
156 returning to the mainloop.
157
158 =item on_sel_make $term, $eventtime
159
160 Called whenever a selection has been made by the user, but before the
161 selection text is copied, so changes to the beginning, end or type of the
162 selection will be honored.
163
164 Returning a true value aborts selection making by urxvt, in which case you
165 have to make a selection yourself by calling C<< $term->selection_grab >>.
166
167 =item on_sel_grab $term, $eventtime
168
169 Called whenever a selection has been copied, but before the selection is
170 requested from the server. The selection text can be queried and changed
171 by calling C<< $term->selection >>.
172
173 Returning a true value aborts selection grabbing. It will still be hilighted.
174
175 =item on_sel_extend $term
176
177 Called whenever the user tries to extend the selection (e.g. with a double
178 click) and is either supposed to return false (normal operation), or
179 should extend the selection itelf and return true to suppress the built-in
180 processing.
181
182 See the F<selection> example extension.
183
184 =item on_focus_in $term
185
186 Called whenever the window gets the keyboard focus, before urxvt does
187 focus in processing.
188
189 =item on_focus_out $term
190
191 Called wheneever the window loses keyboard focus, before urxvt does focus
192 out processing.
193
194 =item on_view_change $term, $offset
195
196 Called whenever the view offset changes, i..e the user or program
197 scrolls. Offset C<0> means display the normal terminal, positive values
198 show this many lines of scrollback.
199
200 =item on_scroll_back $term, $lines, $saved
201
202 Called whenever lines scroll out of the terminal area into the scrollback
203 buffer. C<$lines> is the number of lines scrolled out and may be larger
204 than the scroll back buffer or the terminal.
205
206 It is called before lines are scrolled out (so rows 0 .. min ($lines - 1,
207 $nrow - 1) represent the lines to be scrolled out). C<$saved> is the total
208 number of lines that will be in the scrollback buffer.
209
210 =item on_tty_activity $term *NYI*
211
212 Called whenever the program(s) running in the urxvt window send output.
213
214 =item on_osc_seq $term, $string
215
216 Called whenever the B<ESC ] 777 ; string ST> command sequence (OSC =
217 operating system command) is processed. Cursor position and other state
218 information is up-to-date when this happens. For interoperability, the
219 string should start with the extension name and a colon, to distinguish
220 it from commands for other extensions, and this might be enforced in the
221 future.
222
223 Be careful not ever to trust (in a security sense) the data you receive,
224 as its source can not easily be controleld (e-mail content, messages from
225 other users on the same system etc.).
226
227 =item on_add_lines $term, $string
228
229 Called whenever text is about to be output, with the text as argument. You
230 can filter/change and output the text yourself by returning a true value
231 and calling C<< $term->scr_add_lines >> yourself. Please note that this
232 might be very slow, however, as your hook is called for B<all> text being
233 output.
234
235 =item on_line_update $term, $row
236
237 Called whenever a line was updated or changed. Can be used to filter
238 screen output (e.g. underline urls or other useless stuff). Only lines
239 that are being shown will be filtered, and, due to performance reasons,
240 not always immediately.
241
242 The row number is always the topmost row of the line if the line spans
243 multiple rows.
244
245 Please note that, if you change the line, then the hook might get called
246 later with the already-modified line (e.g. if unrelated parts change), so
247 you cannot just toggle rendition bits, but only set them.
248
249 =item on_refresh_begin $term
250
251 Called just before the screen gets redrawn. Can be used for overlay
252 or similar effects by modify terminal contents in refresh_begin, and
253 restoring them in refresh_end. The built-in overlay and selection display
254 code is run after this hook, and takes precedence.
255
256 =item on_refresh_end $term
257
258 Called just after the screen gets redrawn. See C<on_refresh_begin>.
259
260 =item on_keyboard_command $term, $string
261
262 Called whenever the user presses a key combination that has a
263 C<perl:string> action bound to it (see description of the B<keysym>
264 resource in the @@RXVT_NAME@@(1) manpage).
265
266 =item on_key_press $term, $event, $octets
267
268 =item on_key_release $term, $event
269
270 =item on_button_press $term, $event
271
272 =item on_button_release $term, $event
273
274 =item on_motion_notify $term, $event
275
276 Called whenever the corresponding X event is received for the terminal If
277 the hook returns true, then the even will be ignored by rxvt-unicode.
278
279 The event is a hash with most values as named by Xlib (see the XEvent
280 manpage), with the additional members C<row> and C<col>, which are the row
281 and column under the mouse cursor.
282
283 C<on_key_press> additionally receives the string rxvt-unicode would
284 output, if any, in locale-specific encoding.

293
294 =item $urxvt::TERM

297 variable stores the current C<urxvt::term> object.

301 =head2 Functions in the C<urxvt> Package
302
303 =over 4
304
305 =item $term = new urxvt [arg...]
306
307 Creates a new terminal, very similar as if you had started it with
308 C<system $binfile, arg...>. Croaks (and probably outputs an error message)
309 if the new instance couldn't be created. Returns C<undef> if the new
310 instance didn't initialise perl, and the terminal object otherwise. The
311 C<init> and C<start> hooks will be called during the call.
312
313 =item urxvt::fatal $errormessage
314
315 Fatally aborts execution with the given error message. Avoid at all
316 costs! The only time this is acceptable is when the terminal process
317 starts up.
318
319 =item urxvt::warn $string
320
321 Calls C<rxvt_warn> with the given string which should not include a
322 newline. The module also overwrites the C<warn> builtin with a function
323 that calls this function.
324
325 Using this function has the advantage that its output ends up in the
326 correct place, e.g. on stderr of the connecting urxvtc client.
327
328 =item $time = urxvt::NOW
329
330 Returns the "current time" (as per the event loop).
331
332 =back
333
334 =head2 RENDITION
335
336 Rendition bitsets contain information about colour, font, font styles and
337 similar information for each screen cell.
338
339 The following "macros" deal with changes in rendition sets. You should
340 never just create a bitset, you should always modify an existing one,
341 as they contain important information required for correct operation of
342 rxvt-unicode.
343
344 =over 4
345
346 =item $rend = urxvt::DEFAULT_RSTYLE
347
348 Returns the default rendition, as used when the terminal is starting up or
349 being reset. Useful as a base to start when creating renditions.
350
351 =item $rend = urxvt::OVERLAY_RSTYLE
352
353 Return the rendition mask used for overlays by default.
354
355 =item $rendbit = urxvt::RS_Bold, RS_Italic, RS_Blink, RS_RVid, RS_Uline
356
357 Return the bit that enabled bold, italic, blink, reverse-video and
358 underline, respectively. To enable such a style, just logically OR it into
359 the bitset.
360
361 =item $foreground = urxvt::GET_BASEFG $rend
362
363 =item $background = urxvt::GET_BASEBG $rend
364
365 Return the foreground/background colour index, respectively.
366
367 =item $rend = urxvt::SET_FGCOLOR ($rend, $new_colour)
368
369 =item $rend = urxvt::SET_BGCOLOR ($rend, $new_colour)
370
371 Replace the foreground/background colour in the rendition mask with the
372 specified one.
373
374 =item $value = urxvt::GET_CUSTOM ($rend)
375
376 Return the "custom" value: Every rendition has 5 bits for use by
377 extensions. They can be set and changed as you like and are initially
378 zero.
379
380 =item $rend = urxvt::SET_CUSTOM ($rend, $new_value)
381
382 Change the custom value.

540
541 Destroy the terminal object (close the window, free resources etc.).
542
543 =item $value = $term->resource ($name[, $newval])
544
545 Returns the current resource value associated with a given name and
546 optionally sets a new value. Setting values is most useful in the C<init>
547 hook. Unset resources are returned and accepted as C<undef>.
548
549 The new value must be properly encoded to a suitable character encoding
550 before passing it to this method. Similarly, the returned value may need
551 to be converted from the used encoding to text.
552
553 Resource names are as defined in F<src/rsinc.h>. Colours can be specified
554 as resource names of the form C<< color+<index> >>, e.g. C<color+5>. (will
555 likely change).
556
557 Please note that resource strings will currently only be freed when the
558 terminal is destroyed, so changing options frequently will eat memory.
559
560 Here is a a likely non-exhaustive list of resource names, not all of which

633 =item $term->overlay ($x, $y, $width, $height[, $rstyle[, $border]])
634
635 Create a new (empty) overlay at the given position with the given
636 width/height. C<$rstyle> defines the initial rendition style
637 (default: C<OVERLAY_RSTYLE>).
638
639 If C<$border> is C<2> (default), then a decorative border will be put
640 around the box.
641
642 If either C<$x> or C<$y> is negative, then this is counted from the
643 right/bottom side, respectively.
644
645 This method returns an urxvt::overlay object. The overlay will be visible
646 as long as the perl object is referenced.
647
648 The methods currently supported on C<urxvt::overlay> objects are:
649
650 =over 4
651
652 =item $overlay->set ($x, $y, $text, $rend)
653
654 Similar to C<< $term->ROW_t >> and C<< $term->ROW_r >> in that it puts
655 text in rxvt-unicode's special encoding and an array of rendition values
656 at a specific position inside the overlay.
657
658 =item $overlay->hide
659
660 If visible, hide the overlay, but do not destroy it.
661
662 =item $overlay->show
663
664 If hidden, display the overlay again.
665
666 =back
667
668 =item $cellwidth = $term->strwidth $string
669
670 Returns the number of screen-cells this string would need. Correctly
671 accounts for wide and combining characters.
672
673 =item $octets = $term->locale_encode $string
674
675 Convert the given text string into the corresponding locale encoding.
676
677 =item $string = $term->locale_decode $octets
678
679 Convert the given locale-encoded octets into a perl string.
680
681 =item $term->scr_add_lines ($string)
682
683 Write the given text string to the screen, as if output by the application
684 running inside the terminal. It may not contain command sequences (escape
685 codes), but is free to use line feeds, carriage returns and tabs. The
686 string is a normal text string, not in locale-dependent encoding.
687
688 Normally its not a good idea to use this function, as programs might be
689 confused by changes in cursor position or scrolling. Its useful inside a
690 C<on_add_lines> hook, though.
691
692 =item $term->cmd_parse ($octets)
693
694 Similar to C<scr_add_lines>, but the argument must be in the
695 locale-specific encoding of the terminal and can contain command sequences
696 (escape codes) that will be interpreted.
697
698 =item $term->tt_write ($octets)
699
700 Write the octets given in C<$data> to the tty (i.e. as program input). To
701 pass characters instead of octets, you should convert your strings first
702 to the locale-specific encoding using C<< $term->locale_encode >>.
703
704 =item $window_width = $term->width
705
706 =item $window_height = $term->height
707
708 =item $font_width = $term->fwidth
709
710 =item $font_height = $term->fheight
711
712 =item $font_ascent = $term->fbase
713
714 =item $terminal_rows = $term->nrow
715
716 =item $terminal_columns = $term->ncol
717
718 =item $has_focus = $term->focus
719
720 =item $is_mapped = $term->mapped
721
722 =item $max_scrollback = $term->saveLines
723
724 =item $nrow_plus_saveLines = $term->total_rows
725
726 =item $lines_in_scrollback = $term->nsaved
727
728 Return various integers describing terminal characteristics.
729
730 =item $view_start = $term->view_start ([$newvalue])
731
732 Returns the negative row number of the topmost line. Minimum value is
733 C<0>, which displays the normal terminal contents. Larger values scroll
734 this many lines into the scrollback buffer.
735
736 =item $term->want_refresh
737
738 Requests a screen refresh. At the next opportunity, rxvt-unicode will
739 compare the on-screen display with its stored representation. If they
740 differ, it redraws the differences.
741
742 Used after changing terminal contents to display them.
743
744 =item $text = $term->ROW_t ($row_number[, $new_text[, $start_col]])
745
746 Returns the text of the entire row with number C<$row_number>. Row C<0>
747 is the topmost terminal line, row C<< $term->$ncol-1 >> is the bottommost
748 terminal line. The scrollback buffer starts at line C<-1> and extends to
749 line C<< -$term->nsaved >>. Nothing will be returned if a nonexistent line
750 is requested.
751
752 If C<$new_text> is specified, it will replace characters in the current
753 line, starting at column C<$start_col> (default C<0>), which is useful
754 to replace only parts of a line. The font index in the rendition will
755 automatically be updated.
756
757 C<$text> is in a special encoding: tabs and wide characters that use more
758 than one cell when displayed are padded with urxvt::NOCHAR characters
759 (C<chr 65535>). Characters with combining characters and other characters
760 that do not fit into the normal tetx encoding will be replaced with
761 characters in the private use area.
762
763 You have to obey this encoding when changing text. The advantage is
764 that C<substr> and similar functions work on screen cells and not on
765 characters.
766
767 The methods C<< $term->special_encode >> and C<< $term->special_decode >>
768 can be used to convert normal strings into this encoding and vice versa.
769
770 =item $rend = $term->ROW_r ($row_number[, $new_rend[, $start_col]])
771
772 Like C<< $term->ROW_t >>, but returns an arrayref with rendition
773 bitsets. Rendition bitsets contain information about colour, font, font
774 styles and similar information. See also C<< $term->ROW_t >>.
775
776 When setting rendition, the font mask will be ignored.
777
778 See the section on RENDITION, above.
779
780 =item $length = $term->ROW_l ($row_number[, $new_length])
781
782 Returns the number of screen cells that are in use ("the line
783 length"). Unlike the urxvt core, this returns C<< $term->ncol >> if the
784 line is joined with the following one.
785
786 =item $bool = $term->is_longer ($row_number)
787
788 Returns true if the row is part of a multiple-row logical "line" (i.e.
789 joined with the following row), which means all characters are in use
790 and it is continued on the next row (and possibly a continuation of the
791 previous row(s)).
792
793 =item $line = $term->line ($row_number)
794
795 Create and return a new C<urxvt::line> object that stores information
796 about the logical line that row C<$row_number> is part of. It supports the
797 following methods:
798
799 =over 4
800
801 =item $text = $line->t ([$new_text])
802
803 Returns or replaces the full text of the line, similar to C<ROW_t>
804
805 =item $rend = $line->r ([$new_rend])
806
807 Returns or replaces the full rendition array of the line, similar to C<ROW_r>
808
809 =item $length = $line->l
810
811 Returns the length of the line in cells, similar to C<ROW_l>.
812
813 =item $rownum = $line->beg
814
815 =item $rownum = $line->end
816
817 Return the row number of the first/last row of the line, respectively.
818
819 =item $offset = $line->offset_of ($row, $col)
820
821 Returns the character offset of the given row|col pair within the logical
822 line.
823
824 =item ($row, $col) = $line->coord_of ($offset)
825
826 Translates a string offset into terminal coordinates again.

920 =head2 The C<urxvt::timer> Class
921
922 This class implements timer watchers/events. Time is represented as a
923 fractional number of seconds since the epoch. Example:
924
925 $term->{overlay} = $term->overlay (-1, 0, 8, 1, urxvt::OVERLAY_RSTYLE, 0);
926 $term->{timer} = urxvt::timer

932 });
933
934 =over 4
935
936 =item $timer = new urxvt::timer
937
938 Create a new timer object in started state. It is scheduled to fire
939 immediately.
940
941 =item $timer = $timer->cb (sub { my ($timer) = @_; ... })
942
943 Set the callback to be called when the timer triggers.
944
945 =item $tstamp = $timer->at
946
947 Return the time this watcher will fire next.
948

950
951 Set the time the event is generated to $tstamp.
952
953 =item $timer = $timer->interval ($interval)
954
955 Normally (and when C<$interval> is C<0>), the timer will automatically
956 stop after it has fired once. If C<$interval> is non-zero, then the timer
957 is automatically rescheduled at the given intervals.
958
959 =item $timer = $timer->start
960
961 Start the timer.
962
963 =item $timer = $timer->start ($tstamp)
964
965 Set the event trigger time to C<$tstamp> and start the timer.

995 Create a new io watcher object in stopped state.
996
997 =item $iow = $iow->cb (sub { my ($iow, $reventmask) = @_; ... })
998
999 Set the callback to be called when io events are triggered. C<$reventmask>
1000 is a bitset as described in the C<events> method.
1001
1002 =item $iow = $iow->fd ($fd)
1003
1004 Set the filedescriptor (not handle) to watch.
1005
1006 =item $iow = $iow->events ($eventmask)
1007
1008 Set the event mask to watch. Bit #0 (value C<1>) enables watching for read
1009 data, Bit #1 (value C<2>) enables watching for write data.
1010
1011 =item $iow = $iow->start
1012
1013 Start watching for requested events on the given handle.
