| 4 | pterm \- yet another X terminal emulator |
| 5 | .SH SYNOPSIS |
| 6 | \fBpterm\fP [ \fIoptions\fP ] |
| 7 | .SH DESCRIPTION |
| 8 | \fIpterm\fP is a terminal emulator for X. It is based on a port of |
| 9 | the terminal emulation engine in the Windows SSH client PuTTY. |
| 10 | .SH OPTIONS |
| 11 | The command-line options supported by \fIpterm\fP are: |
| 12 | .IP "\fB\-e\fP \fIcommand\fP [ \fIarguments\fP ]" |
| 13 | Specify a command to be executed in the new terminal. Everything on |
| 14 | the command line after this option will be passed straight to the |
| 15 | \fIexecvp\fP system call; so if you need the command to redirect its |
| 16 | input or output, you will have to use \fIsh\fP: |
| 17 | |
| 18 | pterm \-e sh \-c 'mycommand < inputfile' |
| 19 | .IP "\fB\-\-display\fP \fIdisplay\-name\fP" |
| 20 | Specify the X display on which to open \fIpterm\fP. (Note this |
| 21 | option has a double minus sign, even though none of the others do. |
| 22 | This is because this option is supplied automatically by GTK. |
| 23 | Sorry.) |
| 24 | .IP "\fB\-name\fP \fIfont-name\fP" |
| 25 | Specify the name under which \fIpterm\fP looks up X resources. |
| 26 | Normally it will look them up as (for example) \fBpterm.Font\fP. If |
| 27 | you specify "\-name xyz", it will look them up as \fBxyz.Font\fP |
| 28 | instead. This allows you to set up several different sets of |
| 29 | defaults and choose between them. |
| 30 | .IP "\fB\-fn\fP \fIfont-name\fP" |
| 31 | Specify the font to use for normal text displayed in the terminal. |
| 32 | .IP "\fB\-fb\fP \fIfont-name\fP" |
| 33 | Specify the font to use for bold text displayed in the terminal. If |
| 34 | the \fIBoldAsColour\fP resource is set to 1 (the default), bold text |
| 35 | will be displayed in different colours instead of a different font, |
| 36 | so this option will be ignored. If \fIBoldAsColour\fP is set to 0 |
| 37 | and you do not specify a bold font, \fIpterm\fP will overprint the |
| 38 | normal font to make it look bolder. |
| 39 | .IP "\fB\-fw\fP \fIfont-name\fP" |
| 40 | Specify the font to use for double-width characters (typically |
| 41 | Chinese, Japanese and Korean text) displayed in the terminal. |
| 42 | .IP "\fB\-fwb\fP \fIfont-name\fP" |
| 43 | Specify the font to use for bold double-width characters (typically |
| 44 | Chinese, Japanese and Korean text) Like \fI-fb\fP, this will be |
| 45 | ignored unless the \fIBoldAsColour\fP resource is set to 0. |
| 46 | .IP "\fB\-geometry\fP \fIgeometry\fP" |
| 47 | Specify the size of the terminal, in rows and columns of text. See |
| 48 | \fIX(7)\fP for more information on the syntax of geometry |
| 49 | specifications. |
| 50 | .IP "\fB\-sl\fP \fIlines\fP" |
| 51 | Specify the number of lines of scrollback to save off the top of the |
| 52 | terminal. |
| 53 | .IP "\fB\-fg\fP \fIcolour\fP" |
| 54 | Specify the foreground colour to use for normal text. |
| 55 | .IP "\fB\-bg\fP \fIcolour\fP" |
| 56 | Specify the background colour to use for normal text. |
| 57 | .IP "\fB\-bfg\fP \fIcolour\fP" |
| 58 | Specify the foreground colour to use for bold text, if the |
| 59 | \fIBoldAsColour\fP resource is set to 1 (the default). |
| 60 | .IP "\fB\-bbg\fP \fIcolour\fP" |
| 61 | Specify the foreground colour to use for bold reverse-video text, if |
| 62 | the \fIBoldAsColour\fP resource is set to 1 (the default). (This |
| 63 | colour is best thought of as the bold version of the background |
| 64 | colour; so it only appears when text is displayed \fIin\fP the |
| 65 | background colour.) |
| 66 | .IP "\fB\-cfg\fP \fIcolour\fP" |
| 67 | Specify the foreground colour to use for text covered by the cursor. |
| 68 | .IP "\fB\-cbg\fP \fIcolour\fP" |
| 69 | Specify the background colour to use for text covered by the cursor. |
| 70 | In other words, this is the main colour of the cursor. |
| 71 | .IP "\fB\-title\fP \fItitle\fP" |
| 72 | Specify the initial title of the terminal window. (This can be |
| 73 | changed under control of the server.) |
| 74 | .IP "\fB\-ut\-\fP or \fB+ut\fP" |
| 75 | Tells \fIpterm\fP not to record your login in the \fIutmp\fP, |
| 76 | \fIwtmp\fP and \fIlastlog\fP system log files; so you will not show |
| 77 | up on \fIfinger\fP or \fIwho\fP listings, for example. |
| 78 | .IP "\fB\-ut\fP" |
| 79 | Tells \fIpterm\fP to record your login in \fIutmp\fP, \fIwtmp\fP and |
| 80 | \fIlastlog\fP: this is the opposite of \fI\-ut\-\fP. This is the |
| 81 | default option: you will probably only need to specify it explicitly |
| 82 | if you have changed the default using the \fIStampUtmp\fP resource. |
| 83 | .IP "\fB\-ls\-\fP or \fB+ls\fP" |
| 84 | Tells \fIpterm\fP not to execute your shell as a login shell. |
| 85 | .IP "\fB\-ls\fP" |
| 86 | Tells \fIpterm\fP to execute your shell as a login shell: this is |
| 87 | the opposite of \fI\-ls\-\fP. This is the default option: you will |
| 88 | probably only need to specify it explicitly if you have changed the |
| 89 | default using the \fILoginShell\fP resource. |
| 90 | .IP "\fB\-sb\-\fP or \fB+sb\fP" |
| 91 | Tells \fIpterm\fP not to display a scroll bar. |
| 92 | .IP "\fB\-sb\fP" |
| 93 | Tells \fIpterm\fP to display a scroll bar: this is the opposite of |
| 94 | \fI\-sb\-\fP. This is the default option: you will probably only need |
| 95 | to specify it explicitly if you have changed the default using the |
| 96 | \fIScrollBar\fP resource. |
| 97 | .IP "\fB\-log\fP \fIfilename\fP" |
| 98 | This option makes \fIpterm\fP log all the terminal output to a file |
| 99 | as well as displaying it in the terminal. |
| 100 | .IP "\fB\-cs\fP \fIcharset\fP" |
| 101 | This option specifies the character set in which \fIpterm\fP should |
| 102 | assume the session is operating. This character set will be used to |
| 103 | interpret all the data received from the session, and all input you |
| 104 | type or paste into \fIpterm\fP will be converted into this character |
| 105 | set before being sent to the session. |
| 106 | |
| 107 | Any character set name which is valid in a MIME header (and |
| 108 | supported by \fIpterm\fP) should be valid here (examples are |
| 109 | "ISO-8859-1", "windows-1252" or "UTF-8"). Also, any character |
| 110 | encoding which is valid in an X logical font description should be |
| 111 | valid ("ibm-cp437", for example). |
| 112 | |
| 113 | \fIpterm\fP's default behaviour is to use the same character |
| 114 | encoding as its primary font. If you supply a Unicode (iso10646-1) |
| 115 | font, it will default to the UTF-8 character set. |
| 116 | |
| 117 | Character set names are case-insensitive. |
| 118 | .IP "\fB\-nethack\fP" |
| 119 | Tells \fIpterm\fP to enable NetHack keypad mode, in which the |
| 120 | numeric keypad generates the NetHack "hjklyubn" direction keys. This |
| 121 | enables you to play NetHack with the numeric keypad without having |
| 122 | to use the NetHack "number_pad" option (which requires you to press |
| 123 | "n" before any repeat count). So you can move with the numeric |
| 124 | keypad, and enter repeat counts with the normal number keys. |
| 125 | .IP "\fB\-xrm\fP \fIresource-string\fP" |
| 126 | This option specifies an X resource string. Useful for setting |
| 127 | resources which do not have their own command-line options. For |
| 128 | example: |
| 129 | |
| 130 | pterm \-xrm 'ScrollbarOnLeft: 1' |
| 131 | .IP "\fB\-help\fP, \fB\-\-help\fP" |
| 132 | Display a message summarizing the available options. |
| 133 | .SH X RESOURCES |
| 134 | \fIpterm\fP can be more completely configured by means of X |
| 135 | resources. All of these resources are of the form \fIpterm.FOO\fP |
| 136 | for some FOO; you can make \fIpterm\fP look them up under another |
| 137 | name, such as \fIxyz.FOO\fP, by specifying the command-line option |
| 138 | "\-name xyz". |
| 139 | .IP "\fBpterm.CloseOnExit\fP" |
| 140 | This option should be set to 0, 1 or 2; the default is 2. It |
| 141 | controls what \fIpterm\fP does when the process running inside it |
| 142 | terminates. When set to 2 (the default), \fIpterm\fP will close its |
| 143 | window as soon as the process inside it terminates. When set to 0, |
| 144 | \fIpterm\fP will print the process's exit status, and the window |
| 145 | will remain present until a key is pressed (allowing you to inspect |
| 146 | the scrollback, and copy and paste text out of it). |
| 147 | |
| 148 | When this setting is set to 1, \fIpterm\fP will close |
| 149 | immediately if the process exits cleanly (with an exit status of |
| 150 | zero), but the window will stay around if the process exits with a |
| 151 | non-zero code or on a signal. This enables you to see what went |
| 152 | wrong if the process suffers an error, but not to have to bother |
| 153 | closing the window in normal circumstances. |
| 154 | .IP "\fBpterm.TerminalType\fP" |
| 155 | This controls the value set in the TERM environment variable inside |
| 156 | the new terminal. The default is "xterm". |
| 157 | .IP "\fBpterm.BackspaceIsDelete\fP" |
| 158 | This option should be set to either 0 or 1; the default is 1. When |
| 159 | set to 0, the ordinary Backspace key generates the Backspace |
| 160 | character (^H); when set to 1, it generates the Delete character |
| 161 | (^?). Whichever one you set, the terminal device inside \fIpterm\fP |
| 162 | will be set up to expect it. |
| 163 | .IP "\fBpterm.RXVTHomeEnd\fP" |
| 164 | This option should be set to either 0 or 1; the default is 0. When |
| 165 | it is set to 1, the Home and End keys generate the control sequences |
| 166 | they would generate in the \fIrxvt\fP terminal emulator, instead of |
| 167 | the more usual ones generated by other emulators. |
| 168 | .IP "\fBpterm.LinuxFunctionKeys\fP" |
| 169 | This option can be set to any number between 0 and 5 inclusive; the |
| 170 | default is 0. The modes vary the control sequences sent by the |
| 171 | function keys; for more complete documentation, it is probably |
| 172 | simplest to try each option in "pterm \-e cat", and press the keys to |
| 173 | see what they generate. |
| 174 | .IP "\fBpterm.NoApplicationKeys\fP" |
| 175 | This option should be set to either 0 or 1; the default is 0. When |
| 176 | set to 1, it stops the server from ever switching the numeric keypad |
| 177 | into application mode (where the keys send function-key-like |
| 178 | sequences instead of numbers or arrow keys). You probably only need |
| 179 | this if some application is making a nuisance of itself. |
| 180 | .IP "\fBpterm.NoApplicationCursors\fP" |
| 181 | This option should be set to either 0 or 1; the default is 0. When |
| 182 | set to 1, it stops the server from ever switching the cursor keys |
| 183 | into application mode (where the keys send slightly different |
| 184 | sequences). You probably only need this if some application is |
| 185 | making a nuisance of itself. |
| 186 | .IP "\fBpterm.NoMouseReporting\fP" |
| 187 | This option should be set to either 0 or 1; the default is 0. When |
| 188 | set to 1, it stops the server from ever enabling mouse reporting |
| 189 | mode (where mouse clicks are sent to the application instead of |
| 190 | controlling cut and paste). |
| 191 | .IP "\fBpterm.NoRemoteResize\fP" |
| 192 | This option should be set to either 0 or 1; the default is 0. When |
| 193 | set to 1, it stops the server from being able to remotely control |
| 194 | the size of the \fIpterm\fP window. |
| 195 | .IP "\fBpterm.NoAltScreen\fP" |
| 196 | This option should be set to either 0 or 1; the default is 0. When |
| 197 | set to 1, it stops the server from using the "alternate screen" |
| 198 | terminal feature, which lets full-screen applications leave the |
| 199 | screen exactly the way they found it. |
| 200 | .IP "\fBpterm.NoRemoteWinTitle\fP" |
| 201 | This option should be set to either 0 or 1; the default is 0. When |
| 202 | set to 1, it stops the server from remotely controlling the title of |
| 203 | the \fIpterm\fP window. |
| 204 | .IP "\fBpterm.NoRemoteQTitle\fP" |
| 205 | This option should be set to either 0 or 1; the default is 1. When |
| 206 | set to 1, it stops the server from remotely requesting the title of |
| 207 | the \fIpterm\fP window. |
| 208 | |
| 209 | This feature is a \fBPOTENTIAL SECURITY HAZARD\fP. If a malicious |
| 210 | application can write data to your terminal (for example, if you |
| 211 | merely \fIcat\fP a file owned by someone else on the server |
| 212 | machine), it can change your window title (unless you have disabled |
| 213 | this using the \fBNoRemoteWinTitle\fP resource) and then use this |
| 214 | service to have the new window title sent back to the server as if |
| 215 | typed at the keyboard. This allows an attacker to fake keypresses |
| 216 | and potentially cause your server-side applications to do things you |
| 217 | didn't want. Therefore this feature is disabled by default, and we |
| 218 | recommend you do not turn it on unless you \fBreally\fP know what |
| 219 | you are doing. |
| 220 | .IP "\fBpterm.NoDBackspace\fP" |
| 221 | This option should be set to either 0 or 1; the default is 0. When |
| 222 | set to 1, it disables the normal action of the Delete (^?) character |
| 223 | when sent from the server to the terminal, which is to move the |
| 224 | cursor left by one space and erase the character now under it. |
| 225 | .IP "\fBpterm.ApplicationCursorKeys\fP" |
| 226 | This option should be set to either 0 or 1; the default is 0. When |
| 227 | set to 1, the default initial state of the cursor keys are |
| 228 | application mode (where the keys send function-key-like sequences |
| 229 | instead of numbers or arrow keys). When set to 0, the default state |
| 230 | is the normal one. |
| 231 | .IP "\fBpterm.ApplicationKeypad\fP" |
| 232 | This option should be set to either 0 or 1; the default is 0. When |
| 233 | set to 1, the default initial state of the numeric keypad is |
| 234 | application mode (where the keys send function-key-like sequences |
| 235 | instead of numbers or arrow keys). When set to 0, the default state |
| 236 | is the normal one. |
| 237 | .IP "\fBpterm.NetHackKeypad\fP" |
| 238 | This option should be set to either 0 or 1; the default is 0. When |
| 239 | set to 1, the numeric keypad operates in NetHack mode. This is |
| 240 | equivalent to the \fI\-nethack\fP command-line option. |
| 241 | .IP "\fBpterm.Answerback\fP" |
| 242 | This option controls the string which the terminal sends in response |
| 243 | to receiving the ^E character ("tell me about yourself"). By default |
| 244 | this string is "PuTTY". |
| 245 | .IP "\fBpterm.HideMousePtr\fP" |
| 246 | This option should be set to either 0 or 1; the default is 0. When |
| 247 | it is set to 1, the mouse pointer will disappear if it is over the |
| 248 | \fIpterm\fP window and you press a key. It will reappear as soon as |
| 249 | you move it. |
| 250 | .IP "\fBpterm.WindowBorder\fP" |
| 251 | This option controls the number of pixels of space between the text |
| 252 | in the \fIpterm\fP window and the window frame. The default is 1. |
| 253 | You can increase this value, but decreasing it to 0 is not |
| 254 | recommended because it can cause the window manager's size hints to |
| 255 | work incorrectly. |
| 256 | .IP "\fBpterm.CurType\fP" |
| 257 | This option should be set to either 0, 1 or 2; the default is 0. |
| 258 | When set to 0, the text cursor displayed in the window is a |
| 259 | rectangular block. When set to 1, the cursor is an underline; when |
| 260 | set to 2, it is a vertical line. |
| 261 | .IP "\fBpterm.BlinkCur\fP" |
| 262 | This option should be set to either 0 or 1; the default is 0. When |
| 263 | it is set to 1, the text cursor will blink when the window is active. |
| 264 | .IP "\fBpterm.Beep\fP" |
| 265 | This option should be set to either 0 or 2 (yes, 2); the default is |
| 266 | 0. When it is set to 2, \fIpterm\fP will respond to a bell character |
| 267 | (^G) by flashing the window instead of beeping. |
| 268 | .IP "\fBpterm.BellOverload\fP" |
| 269 | This option should be set to either 0 or 1; the default is 0. When |
| 270 | it is set to 1, \fIpterm\fP will watch out for large numbers of |
| 271 | bells arriving in a short time and will temporarily disable the bell |
| 272 | until they stop. The idea is that if you \fIcat\fP a binary file, |
| 273 | the frantic beeping will mostly be silenced by this feature and will |
| 274 | not drive you crazy. |
| 275 | |
| 276 | The bell overload mode is activated by receiving N bells in time T; |
| 277 | after a further time S without any bells, overload mode will turn |
| 278 | itself off again. |
| 279 | |
| 280 | Bell overload mode is always deactivated by any keypress in the |
| 281 | terminal. This means it can respond to large unexpected streams of |
| 282 | data, but does not interfere with ordinary command-line activities |
| 283 | that generate beeps (such as filename completion). |
| 284 | .IP "\fBpterm.BellOverloadN\fP" |
| 285 | This option counts the number of bell characters which will activate |
| 286 | bell overload if they are received within a length of time T. The |
| 287 | default is 5. |
| 288 | .IP "\fBpterm.BellOverloadT\fP" |
| 289 | This option specifies the time period in which receiving N or more |
| 290 | bells will activate bell overload mode. It is measured in |
| 291 | microseconds, so (for example) set it to 1000000 for one second. The |
| 292 | default is 2000000 (two seconds). |
| 293 | .IP "\fBpterm.BellOverloadS\fP" |
| 294 | This option specifies the time period of silence required to turn |
| 295 | off bell overload mode. It is measured in microseconds, so (for |
| 296 | example) set it to 1000000 for one second. The default is 5000000 |
| 297 | (five seconds of silence). |
| 298 | .IP "\fBpterm.ScrollbackLines\fP" |
| 299 | This option specifies how many lines of scrollback to save above the |
| 300 | visible terminal screen. The default is 200. This resource is |
| 301 | equivalent to the \fI\-sl\fP command-line option. |
| 302 | .IP "\fBpterm.DECOriginMode\fP" |
| 303 | This option should be set to either 0 or 1; the default is 0. It |
| 304 | specifies the default state of DEC Origin Mode. (If you don't know |
| 305 | what that means, you probably don't need to mess with it.) |
| 306 | .IP "\fBpterm.AutoWrapMode\fP" |
| 307 | This option should be set to either 0 or 1; the default is 1. It |
| 308 | specifies the default state of auto wrap mode. When set to 1, very |
| 309 | long lines will wrap over to the next line on the terminal; when set |
| 310 | to 0, long lines will be squashed against the right-hand edge of the |
| 311 | screen. |
| 312 | .IP "\fBpterm.LFImpliesCR\fP" |
| 313 | This option should be set to either 0 or 1; the default is 0. When |
| 314 | set to 1, the terminal will return the cursor to the left side of |
| 315 | the screen when it receives a line feed character. |
| 316 | .IP "\fBpterm.WinTitle\fP" |
| 317 | This resource is the same as the \fI\-T\fP command-line option: it |
| 318 | controls the initial title of the window. The default is "pterm". |
| 319 | .IP "\fBpterm.TermWidth\fP" |
| 320 | This resource is the same as the width part of the \fI\-geometry\fP |
| 321 | command-line option: it controls the number of columns of text in |
| 322 | the window. The default is 80. |
| 323 | .IP "\fBpterm.TermHeight\fP" |
| 324 | This resource is the same as the width part of the \fI\-geometry\fP |
| 325 | command-line option: it controls the number of columns of text in |
| 326 | the window. The defaults is 24. |
| 327 | .IP "\fBpterm.Font\fP" |
| 328 | This resource is the same as the \fI\-fn\fP command-line option: it |
| 329 | controls the font used to display normal text. The default is |
| 330 | "fixed". |
| 331 | .IP "\fBpterm.BoldFont\fP" |
| 332 | This resource is the same as the \fI\-fb\fP command-line option: it |
| 333 | controls the font used to display bold text when \fIBoldAsColour\fP |
| 334 | is turned off. The default is unset (the font will be bolded by |
| 335 | printing it twice at a one-pixel offset). |
| 336 | .IP "\fBpterm.WideFont\fP" |
| 337 | This resource is the same as the \fI\-fw\fP command-line option: it |
| 338 | controls the font used to display double-width characters. The |
| 339 | default is unset (double-width characters cannot be displayed). |
| 340 | .IP "\fBpterm.WideBoldFont\fP" |
| 341 | This resource is the same as the \fI\-fwb\fP command-line option: it |
| 342 | controls the font used to display double-width characters in bold, |
| 343 | when \fIBoldAsColour\fP is turned off. The default is unset |
| 344 | (double-width characters are displayed in bold by printing them |
| 345 | twice at a one-pixel offset). |
| 346 | .IP "\fBpterm.ShadowBoldOffset\fP" |
| 347 | This resource can be set to an integer; the default is \-1. It |
| 348 | specifies the offset at which text is overprinted when using "shadow |
| 349 | bold" mode. The default (1) means that the text will be printed in |
| 350 | the normal place, and also one character to the right; this seems to |
| 351 | work well for most X bitmap fonts, which have a blank line of pixels |
| 352 | down the right-hand side. For some fonts, you may need to set this to |
| 353 | \-1, so that the text is overprinted one pixel to the left; for |
| 354 | really large fonts, you may want to set it higher than 1 (in one |
| 355 | direction or the other). |
| 356 | .IP "\fBpterm.BoldAsColour\fP" |
| 357 | This option should be set to either 0 or 1; the default is 1. It |
| 358 | specifies the default state of auto wrap mode. When set to 1, bold |
| 359 | text is shown by displaying it in a brighter colour; when set to 0, |
| 360 | bold text is shown by displaying it in a heavier font. |
| 361 | .IP "\fBpterm.Colour0\fP, \fBpterm.Colour1\fP, ..., \fBpterm.Colour21\fP" |
| 362 | These options control the various colours used to display text in |
| 363 | the \fIpterm\fP window. Each one should be specified as a triple of |
| 364 | decimal numbers giving red, green and blue values: so that black is |
| 365 | "0,0,0", white is "255,255,255", red is "255,0,0" and so on. |
| 366 | |
| 367 | Colours 0 and 1 specify the foreground colour and its bold |
| 368 | equivalent (the \fI\-fg\fP and \fI\-bfg\fP command-line options). |
| 369 | Colours 2 and 3 specify the background colour and its bold |
| 370 | equivalent (the \fI\-bg\fP and \fI\-bbg\fP command-line options). |
| 371 | Colours 4 and 5 specify the text and block colours used for the |
| 372 | cursor (the \fI\-cfg\fP and \fI\-cbg\fP command-line options). Each |
| 373 | even number from 6 to 20 inclusive specifies the colour to be used |
| 374 | for one of the ANSI primary colour specifications (black, red, |
| 375 | green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan, white, in that order); the odd |
| 376 | numbers from 7 to 21 inclusive specify the bold version of each |
| 377 | colour, in the same order. The defaults are: |

| 403 | .IP "\fBpterm.RectSelect\fP" |
| 404 | This option should be set to either 0 or 1; the default is 0. When |
| 405 | set to 0, dragging the mouse over several lines selects to the end |
| 406 | of each line and from the beginning of the next; when set to 1, |
| 407 | dragging the mouse over several lines selects a rectangular region. |
| 408 | In each case, holding down Alt while dragging gives the other |
| 409 | behaviour. |
| 410 | .IP "\fBpterm.MouseOverride\fP" |
| 411 | This option should be set to either 0 or 1; the default is 1. When |
| 412 | set to 1, if the application requests mouse tracking (so that mouse |
| 413 | clicks are sent to it instead of doing selection), holding down |
| 414 | Shift will revert the mouse to normal selection. When set to 0, |
| 415 | mouse tracking completely disables selection. |
| 416 | .IP "\fBpterm.Printer\fP" |
| 417 | This option is unset by default. If you set it, then |
| 418 | server-controlled printing is enabled: the server can send control |
| 419 | sequences to request data to be sent to a printer. That data will be |
| 420 | piped into the command you specify here; so you might want to set it |
| 421 | to "lpr", for example, or "lpr \-Pmyprinter". |
| 422 | .IP "\fBpterm.ScrollBar\fP" |
| 423 | This option should be set to either 0 or 1; the default is 1. When |
| 424 | set to 0, the scrollbar is hidden (although Shift-PageUp and |
| 425 | Shift-PageDown still work). This is the same as the \fI\-sb\fP |
| 426 | command-line option. |
| 427 | .IP "\fBpterm.ScrollbarOnLeft\fP" |
| 428 | This option should be set to either 0 or 1; the default is 0. When |
| 429 | set to 1, the scrollbar will be displayed on the left of the |
| 430 | terminal instead of on the right. |
| 431 | .IP "\fBpterm.ScrollOnKey\fP" |
| 432 | This option should be set to either 0 or 1; the default is 0. When |
| 433 | set to 1, any keypress causes the position of the scrollback to be |
| 434 | reset to the very bottom. |
| 435 | .IP "\fBpterm.ScrollOnDisp\fP" |
| 436 | This option should be set to either 0 or 1; the default is 1. When |
| 437 | set to 1, any activity in the display causes the position of the |
| 438 | scrollback to be reset to the very bottom. |
| 439 | .IP "\fBpterm.LineCodePage\fP" |
| 440 | This option specifies the character set to be used for the session. |
| 441 | This is the same as the \fI\-cs\fP command-line option. |
| 442 | .IP "\fBpterm.NoRemoteCharset\fP" |
| 443 | This option disables the terminal's ability to change its character |
| 444 | set when it receives escape sequences telling it to. You might need |
| 445 | to do this to interoperate with programs which incorrectly change |
| 446 | the character set to something they think is sensible. |
| 447 | .IP "\fBpterm.BCE\fP" |
| 448 | This option should be set to either 0 or 1; the default is 1. When |
| 449 | set to 1, the various control sequences that erase parts of the |
| 450 | terminal display will erase in whatever the current background |
| 451 | colour is; when set to 0, they will erase in black always. |
| 452 | .IP "\fBpterm.BlinkText\fP" |
| 453 | This option should be set to either 0 or 1; the default is 0. When |
| 454 | set to 1, text specified as blinking by the server will actually |
| 455 | blink on and off; when set to 0, \fIpterm\fP will use the less |
| 456 | distracting approach of making the text's background colour bold. |
| 457 | .IP "\fBpterm.StampUtmp\fP" |
| 458 | This option should be set to either 0 or 1; the default is 1. When |
| 459 | set to 1, \fIpterm\fP will log the login in the various system log |
| 460 | files. This resource is equivalent to the \fI\-ut\fP command-line |
| 461 | option. |
| 462 | .IP "\fBpterm.LoginShell\fP" |
| 463 | This option should be set to either 0 or 1; the default is 1. When |
| 464 | set to 1, \fIpterm\fP will execute your shell as a login shell. This |
| 465 | resource is equivalent to the \fI\-ls\fP command-line option. |
| 466 | .SH BUGS |
| 467 | Most of the X resources have silly names. (Historical reasons from |
| 468 | PuTTY, mostly.) |
