NAME
rxvt (ouR XVT) - a VT102 emulator for the X window system
SYNOPSIS
rxvt [options] [-e command [ args ]]
DESCRIPTION
rxvt, version 2.6.1, is a colour vt102 terminal emulator
intended as an xterm(1) replacement for users who do not
require features such as Tektronix 4014 emulation and
toolkit-style configurability. As a result, rxvt uses much
less swap space -- a significant advantage on a machine
serving many X sessions.
OPTIONS
The rxvt options (mostly a subset of xterm's) are listed
below. In keeping with the smaller-is-better philosophy,
options may be eliminated or default values chosen at
compile-time, so options and defaults listed may not accu-
rately reflect the version installed on your system.
Note that rxvt permits the resource name to be used as a
long-option (--/++ option) so the potential command-line
options are far greater than those listed. For example:
`rxvt --loginShell --color1 Orange'.
-help, --help
Print out a message describing available options.
-display displayname
Attempt to open a window on the named X display (-d
still respected). In the absence of this option, the
display specified by the DISPLAY environment variable
is used.
-geometry geom
Window geometry (-g still respected); resource
geometry.
-rv|+rv
Turn on/off simulated reverse video; resource rever-
seVideo.
-ip|+ip
Turn on/off inheriting parent window's pixmap; resource
inheritPixmap.
-bg colour
Window background colour; resource background.
-fg colour
Window foreground colour; resource foreground.
-pixmap: file[;geom]
Specify XPM file for the background and also optionally
specify its scaling with a geometry string. Note you
may need to add quotes to avoid special shell interpre-
tation of the `;' in the command-line; resource back-
groundPixmap.
-cr colour
The cursor colour; resource cursorColor.
-pr colour
The mouse pointer colour; resource pointerColor.
-bd colour
The colour of the border between the xterm scrollbar
and the text; resource borderColor.

Multiple-character font-set encoding mode; eucj: EUC
Japanese encoding. sjis: Shift JIS encoding; resource
multichar_encoding.
-grk mode
Greek keyboard translation; iso: ISO-8859 mapping.
ibm: IBM-437 mapping; resource greek_keyboard.
-name name
Specify the application name under which resources are
to be obtained, rather than the default executable file
name. Name should not contain `.' or `*' characters.
Also sets the icon and title name.
-ls|+ls
Start as a login-shell/sub-shell; resource loginShell.
-ut|+ut
Inhibit/enable writing a utmp entry; resource utmpInhi-
bit.
-vb|+vb
Turn on/off visual bell on receipt of a bell character;
resource visualBell.
-sb|+sb
Turn on/off scrollbar; resource scrollBar.
-si|+si

scrollKeypress.
-sr|+sr
Put scrollbar on right/left; resource scrollBar_right.
-st|+st
Display normal (non XTerm/NeXT) scrollbar without/with
a trough; resource scrollBar_floating.
-iconic
Start iconified, if the window manager supports that
option.
-sl number
Save number lines in the scrollback buffer; resource
saveLines.
-tn termname
This option specifies the name of the terminal type to
be set in the TERM environment variable. This terminal
type must exist in the termcap(5) database and should
have li# and co# entries; resource termName.
-e command [arguments]
Run the command with its command-line arguments in the
rxvt window; also sets the window title and icon name
to be the basename of the program being executed if
neither -title (-T) nor -n are given on the command
line. If this option is used, it must be the last on
the command-line. If there is no -e option then the
default is to run the program specified by the SHELL
environment variable or, failing that, sh(1).
-title text
Window title (-T still respected); the default title is
the basename of the program specified after the -e
option, if any, otherwise the application name;
resource title.
-n text
Icon name; the default name is the basename of the pro-
gram specified after the -e option, if any, otherwise
the application name; resource iconName.
-C Capture system console messages.
RESOURCES (available also as long-options)
If compiled with internal Xresources support (i.e. rxvt -h
lists .Xdefaults) then rxvt accepts application defaults set
in XAPPLOADDIR/Rxvt (compile-time defined: usually
/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/Rxvt) and resources set in ~/.Xde-
faults, or ~/.Xresources if ~/.Xdefaults does not exist.
Note that when reading X resources, rxvt recognizes two
class names: XTerm and Rxvt. The class name XTerm allows
resources common to both rxvt and xterm to be easily config-
ured, while the class name Rxvt allows resources unique to
rxvt, notably colours and key-handling, to be shared between
different rxvt configurations. If no resources are speci-
fied, suitable defaults will be used. Command-line arguments
can be used to override resource settings. The following
resources are allowed:
geometry: geom
Create the window with the specified X window geometry
[default 80x24]; option -geometry.
background: colour
Use the specified colour as the window's background
colour [default White]; option -bg.
foreground: colour
Use the specified colour as the window's foreground
colour [default Black]; option -fg.
colorn: colour
Use the specified colour for the colour value n, where
0-7 corresponds to low-intensity (normal) colours and
8-15 corresponds to high-intensity (bold = bright fore-
ground, blink = bright background) colours. The canon-
ical names are as follows: 0=black, 1=red, 2=green,
3=yellow, 4=blue, 5=magenta, 6=cyan, 7=white, but the
actual colour names used are listed in the COLORS AND
GRAPHICS section.
colorBD: colour
Use the specified colour to display bold characters
when the foreground colour is the default.
colorUL: colour
Use the specified colour to display underlined charac-
ters when the foreground colour is the default.
cursorColor: colour
Use the specified colour for the cursor. The default
is to use the foreground colour; option -cr.
cursorColor2: colour
Use the specified colour for the colour of the cursor
text. For this to take effect, cursorColor must also
be specified. The default is to use the background
colour.
reverseVideo: boolean
True: simulate reverse video by foreground and back-
ground colours; option -rv, False: regular screen
colours [default]; option +rv. See note in COLORS AND
GRAPHICS section.
inheritPixmap: boolean
True: make the background inherit the parent window's
pixmap, giving artificial transparency. False: do not
inherit the parent window's pixmap.
scrollColor: colour
Use the specified colour for the scrollbar [default
#B2B2B2].
troughColor: colour
Use the specified colour for the scrollbar's trough
area [default #969696]. Only relevant for normal (non
XTerm/NeXT) scrollbar.
backgroundPixmap: file[;geom]
Use the specified XPM file (note the `.xpm' extension
is optional) for the background and also optionally
specify its scaling with a geometry string WxH+X+Y, in
which "W" / "H" specify the horizontal/vertical scale
(percent) and "X" / "Y" locate the image centre (per-
cent). A scale of 0 displays the image with tiling. A
scale of 1 displays the image without any scaling. A
scale of 2 to 9 specifies an integer number of images
in that direction. No image will be magnified beyond
10 times its original size. The maximum permitted
scale is 1000. [default 0x0+50+50]
menu: file[;tag]
Read in the specified menu file (note the `.menu'
extension is optional) and also optionally specify a
starting tag to find. See the reference documentation
for details on the syntax for the menuBar.
path: path
Specify the colon-delimited search path for finding
files (XPM and menus), in addition to the paths speci-
fied by the RXVTPATH and PATH environment variables.
font: fontname
Select the main text font used [default 7x14]; option
-fn.
fontn: fontname
Specify the alternative font n. The default font
values:
font: 7x14
font1: 6x10
font2: 6x13
font3: 8x13
font4: 9x15
boldFont: fontname
Specify the name of the bold font to use if colorBD has
not been specified and it is not possible to map the

NONE]. This font must be the same height and width as
the normal font; option -fb.
mfont: fontname
Select the main multiple-character text font used
[default k14]; option -fk.
mfontn: fontname
Specify the alternative multiple-character font n. If
compiled for multiple-character fonts, the Roman and
multiple-character font sizes should match.
multichar_encoding: mode
Set the encoding mode to be used when multicharacter
encoding is received; eucj: EUC Japanese encoding
[default for Kanji]. sjis: Shift JIS encoding. big5:
BIG5 encoding. gb: GB encoding; option -km.

Set the Greek keyboard translation mode to be used;
iso: ISO-8859 mapping (elot-928) [default]. ibm: IBM-
437 mapping (DOS codepage 737); option -grk. Use
Mode_switch to toggle keyboard input. For more
details, see the distributed file README.greek.
selectstyle: text
Set mouse selection style to old which is 2.20, oldword
which is xterm style with 2.20 old word selection, or
anything else which gives xterm style selection.
title: text
Set window title string, the default title is the

True: start as a login shell by prepending a `-' to
argv[0] of the shell; option -ls. False: start as a
normal sub-shell [default]; option +ls.
utmpInhibit: boolean
True: inhibit writing record into the system log file
utmp; option -ut. False: write record into the system
log file utmp [default]; option +ut.
print-pipe: string
Specify a command pipe for vt100 printer [default
lpr(1)]. Use Print to initiate a screen dump to the
printer and Ctrl-Print or Shift-Print to include the
scrollback as well.
scrollBar: boolean
True: enable the scrollbar [default]; option -sb.
False: disable the scrollbar; option +sb. Note that

True: handle Meta (Alt) + keypress to set the 8th bit.
False: handle Meta (Alt) + keypress as an escape prefix
[default].
backspacekey: string
The string to send when the backspace key is pressed.
If set to DEC or unset it will send Delete (code 127)
or, if shifted, Backspace (code 8) - which can be
reversed with the appropriate DEC private mode escape
sequence.
deletekey: string
The string to send when the delete key (not the keypad
delete key) is pressed. If unset it will send the
sequence traditionally associated with the Execute key.
cutchars: string
The characters used as delimiters for double-click word
selection. The built-in default:
BACKSLASH `"'&()*,;<=>?@[]{|}
keysym.sym: string
Associate string with keysym sym (0xFF00 - 0xFFFF). It
may contain escape values (\a: bell, \b: backspace, \e,
\E: escape, \n: newline, \r: return, \t: tab, \000:
octal number) or control characters (^?: delete, ^@:
null, ^A ...) and may enclosed with double quotes so
that it can start or end with whitespace. The inter-
vening resource name keysym. cannot be omitted. This
resource is only available when compiled with
KEYSYM_RESOURCE.
THE SCROLLBAR
Lines of text that scroll off the top of the rxvt window
(resource: saveLines) and can be scrolled back using the
scrollbar or by keystrokes. The normal rxvt scrollbar has
arrows and its behaviour is fairly intuitive. The xterm-
scrollbar is without arrows and its behaviour mimics that of
xterm
Scroll down with Button1 (xterm-scrollbar) or Shift-Next.
Scroll up with Button3 (xterm-scrollbar) or Shift-Prior.
Continuous scroll with Button2.
MOUSE REPORTING
To temporarily override mouse reporting, for either the
scrollbar or the normal text selection/insertion, hold
either the Shift or the Meta (Alt) key while performing the
desired mouse action.
If mouse reporting mode is active, the normal scrollbar
actions are disabled -- on the assumption that we are using
a fullscreen application. Instead, pressing Button1 and
Button3 sends ESC[6~ (Next) and ESC[5~ (Prior), respec-
tively. Similarly, clicking on the up and down arrows sends
ESC[A (Up) and ESC[B (Down), respectively.
TEXT SELECTION AND INSERTION
The behaviour of text selection and insertion mechanism is
similar to xterm(1).
Selection:
Left click at the beginning of the region, drag to the
end of the region and release; Right click to extend
the marked region; Left double-click to select a word;
Left triple-click to select the entire line.
Insertion:
Pressing and releasing the Middle mouse button (or
Shift-Insert) in an rxvt window causes the current text
selection to be inserted as if it had been typed on the
keyboard.
CHANGING FONTS
You can change fonts on-the-fly, which is to say cycle
through the default font and others of various sizes, by
using Shift-KP_Add and Shift-KP_Subtract. Or, alternatively
(if enabled) with Alt-> and Alt-<, where the actual key can
be selected using resources smallfont_key/bigfont_key.
LOGIN STAMP
rxvt tries to write an entry into the utmp(5) file so that
it can be seen via the who(1) command, and can accept mes-
sages. To allow this feature, rxvt must be installed setuid
root on some systems.
COLORS AND GRAPHICS
If graphics support was enabled at compile-time, rxvt can be
queried with ANSI escape sequences and can address indivi-
dual pixels instead of text characters. Note the graphics
support is still considered beta code.
In addition to the default foreground and background
colours, rxvt can display up to 16 colours (8 ANSI colours
plus high-intensity bold/blink versions of the same). Here
is a list of the colours with their rgb.txt names.
color0 (black) = Black
color1 (red) = Red3
color2 (green) = Green3
color3 (yellow) = Yellow3
color4 (blue) = Blue3
color5 (magenta) = Magenta3
color6 (cyan) = Cyan3
color7 (white) = AntiqueWhite
color8 (bright black) = Grey25
color9 (bright red) = Red
color10 (bright green) = Green
color11 (bright yellow) = Yellow
color12 (bright blue) = Blue
color13 (bright magenta) = Magenta
color14 (bright cyan) = Cyan
color15 (bright white) = White
foreground = Black
background = White
It is also possible to specify the colour values of fore-
ground, background, cursorColor, cursorColor2, colorBD,
colorUL as a number 0-15, as a convenient shorthand to
reference the colour name of color0-color15.
Note that -rv ("reverseVideo: True") simulates reverse video
by always swapping the foreground/background colours. This
is in contrast to xterm(1) where the colours are only
swapped if they have not otherwise been specified. For
example,
rxvt -fg Black -bg White -rv
would yield White on Black, while on xterm(1) it would
yield Black on White.
ENVIRONMENT
rxvt sets the environment variables TERM, COLORTERM and
COLORFGBG. The environment variable WINDOWID is set to the
X window id number of the rxvt window and it also uses and
sets the environment variable DISPLAY to specify which
display terminal to use. rxvt uses the environment vari-
ables RXVTPATH and PATH to find XPM files.
FILES
/etc/utmp
System file for login records.
/usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt
Color names.

xterm(1), sh(1), resize(1), X(1), pty(4), tty(4), utmp(5)
See rxvtRef.html rxvtRef.txt for detailed information on
recognized escape sequences and menuBar syntax, etc.
BUGS
Check the BUGS file for an up-to-date list.
Cursor change support is not yet implemented.
Click-and-drag doesn't work with X11 mouse report overrid-
ing.
Graphics support is fairly crude.
