 HPTERM(1X)                                                       HPTERM(1X)




 NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
      hpterm - X window system Hewlett-Packard terminal emulator.


 SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
      hpterm [-toolkitoption] [-option]


 DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
      The hpterm program is a terminal emulator for the X Window system.  It
      provides a Term0 compatible terminal for programs that can't use the
      window system directly.  It also emulates many of the block mode
      features of HP terminals.  Refer to the WARNINGS section below for
      additional information about running block mode applications.


 OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]
      The hpterm terminal emulator accepts all of the standard X Toolkit
      command line options along with additional options all of which are
      listed below (if the option begins with a `+' instead of a `-', the
      option is restored to its default value):

      -b number
              This option specifies the size of the inner border (the
              distance between the outer edge of the character and the
              window border) in pixels.  Associated resource: *borderWidth.

      -background color
              This option specifies the color to use for the background of
              the window.  Associated resource: *background.

              surrounding the window.  Associated resource: *borderWidth.

      -bs     This option indicates that the "background" of the term0 text
              entry window should be the select color that corresponds to
              the specified background color.  Associated resource:
              *backgroundIsSelect.

      +bs     This option indicates that the "background" of the term0 text
              entry window should be the specified background.  Associated
              resource: *backgroundIsSelect.

      -font fontset
              This option specifies a font to be used when displaying normal
              (primary) text.  If only one of the normal (primary) or bold
              (alternate) fonts is specified, it will be used for both
              fonts.  The fontset should be specified as a Motif
              XmFontList(3X).  This option is provided for backwards
              compatability only and will be removed in the next major
              release of HP-UX; use the -fn option instead.  Associated
              resource: *userFont.

      -foreground color
              This option specifies the color to use for displaying text.
              Associated resource: *foreground.

              manager with a bitmapped icon.  Associated resource:
              bitmapIcon.

      +i      This option indicates that the window manager should generate
              its own icon for hpterm.  Associated resource: bitmapIcon.

      -iconic This option indicates that hpterm should be placed on the
              display in icon form.  Associated resource: *term0.iconic.

      +iconic This option indicates that hpterm should not be placed on the
              display in icon form.  Associated resource: *term0.iconic.

      -kshmode
              This option indicates that hpterm should convert characters
              entered with the extend key pressed into a two character
              sequence consisting of an ASCII escape followed by the unextended
 character.  Associated resource: *kshMode.

      -l      This option indicates that hpterm should send all terminal
              output to a log file as well as to the screen. Associated
              resource: *logging.

      +l      This option indicates that hpterm should not do logging.
              Associated resource: *logging.

      -lf file
              This option specifies the name of the file to which the output
              log described above is written.  If file begins with a pipe
              symbol (|), the rest of the string is assumed to be a command
              to be used as the endpoint of a pipe.  The default filename is
              HptermLogXXXXX (where XXXXX is the process id of hpterm) and
              is created in the directory from which hpterm was started.
              Associated resource: *logFile.

      -ls     This option indicates that the shell that is started in the
              hpterm window should be a login shell (i.e. the first
              character of argv[0] will be a dash, indicating to the shell
              that it should read the user's /etc/profile and .profile (for
              ksh and sh) or /etc/csh.login and .login (for csh).  This
              option is ignored when the -e option is also used.  Associated
              resource: *loginShell.

      +ls     This option indicates that the shell that is started should
              not be a login shell (i.e. it will be a normal ``subshell'').
              Associated resource: *loginShell.

      -map    This option indicates that hpterm should map (de-iconify)
              itself upon pty output if it is unmapped (iconified).  An
              initial period of time during which hpterm will not map itself
              upon pty output may be specified via the mapOnOutputDelay
              resource.  Associated resource: *mapOnOutput.

      +map    This option indicates that hpterm should not map (de-iconify)
              itself upon pty output if it is unmapped (iconified).
              Associated resource: *mapOnOutput.

      -mb     This option indicates that the pointer cursor should be put
              into blanking mode.  In this mode, the cursor will turn on
              when the pointer is moved, and will be blanked either after a
              selectable number of seconds or after keyboard input has
              occurred.  The delay is set via the pointerBlankDelay
              resource.  Associated resource: *pointerBlank.

              color, shadow colors, and shadow tiles of the scrollbar and
              softkey widgets.  Valid modes are ``all'', ``shadow'', and
              ``none.'' Associated resource: *makeColors.

      -ms color
              This option specifies the color to be used for the pointer
              cursor.  Associated resource: *pointerColor.

      -name name
              This option specifies the application name under which
              resources are to be obtained, rather than the default
              executable file name (``hpterm'').  Associated resource:
              .name.

      -reverse
              This option indicates that reverse video should be simulated
              by swapping the foreground and background colors.  Associated
              resource: *reverseVideo.

      -rv     This option indicates that reverse video should be simulated
              by swapping the foreground and background colors.  Associated
              resource: *reverseVideo.

              XmFontList(3X).  Associated resource: *softkey.userFont.

      -sl number[suffix]
              This option indicates the number of off screen lines to be
              saved in the terminal buffer.  If no suffix is included or the
              suffix is l, the total length of the terminal buffer will be
              number plus the length of the terminal window.  If the suffix
              is s the total length of the terminal buffer will be (number
              plus one) times the length of the terminal window.  Associated
              resource: *saveLines.

      -ti name
              This option specifies a name for hpterm to use when
              identifying itself to application programs.  Refer to the

              Associated resource: *ttyModes.

      -tn name
              This option specifies a name for hpterm to set the $TERM
              environment variable to.  Associated resource: *termName.

      -vb     This option indicates that a visual bell is preferred over an
              audible one.  Instead of ringing the terminal bell whenever a
              Control-G is received, the window will be flashed.  Associated
              resource: *visualBell.

      +vb     This option indicates that a visual bell should not be used.
              Associated resource: *visualBell.

      -xrm resourcestring
              This option specifies a resource string to be used.  This is
              especially useful for setting resources that do not have
              separate command line options.  Associated resource: none.

      -C      This option indicates that the window should receive console
              output.  The server must be authorized to receive console
              output.  See ``XConsoles'' below for additional information.
              Associated resource: none.

      -Sccn   This option specifies the last two letters of the name of a
              pseudoterminal to use in slave mode, and the file descriptor
              of the pseudoterminal's master.  This allows hpterm to be used
              as an input and output channel for an existing program and is
              sometimes used in specialized applications such as pam(1).
              This option will only work with pty names of the form
              ``ttyxx.''  For example, ``-S p01'' specifies ``ttyp0'' on
              file descriptor 1.  Associated resource: none.

      -Spty.fd
              This option specifies the unique portion of the name of a
              pseudoterminal to use in slave mode, and the file descriptor
              of the pseudoterminal's master.  This allows hpterm to be used
              as an input and output channel for an existing program and is
              sometimes used in specialized applications such as pam(1).
              This option will work for all pty names.  For example, ``-S
              p0.1'' specifies ``ttyp0'' on file descriptor 1 and ``-S
              p02.13'' specifies ``ttyp02'' on file descriptor 13.
              Associated resource: none.

           The following command line arguments are provided for compatibility
           with
           older versions.  They may not be supported in future releases as
           the X Toolkit provides standard options that accomplish the same

              is shorthand for specifying the *iconName resource.
              Associated resource: *iconName.

      -r      This option indicates that reverse video should be simulated
              by swapping the foreground and background colors.  It is
              equivalent to -reversevideo or -rv.  Associated resource:
              *reverseVideo.

      +r      This option indicates that reverse video should not be
              simulated.  It is equivalent to +rv.  Associated resource:
              *reverseVideo.

      -w number
              This option specifies the width in pixels of the border
              surrounding the window.  It is equivalent to -borderwidth
              number or -bw number.  Associated resource: *borderWidth.

      allowSendEvents
           This resource defines whether synthetic key and button events
           (generated using the X protocol SendEvent request) should be
           interpreted or discarded.

      background
           This resource defines the background color of the text window.

      backgroundIsSelect
           This resource controls the color used as the "background" of the
           term0 text entry window and defaults to False. When False, the
           background is the color specified.  When True, the background is
           the "select color" that corresponds to the background.  For
           visual consistency with other Motif-based applications, set this
           resource to True.

      bitmap
           This resource defines whether hpterm will override its built in
           bitmap icon with a user specified bitmap icon.  If the path does
           not begin with a ``/'' or ``./'', it will be processed relative
           to ``/usr/lib/X11/bitmaps''.

      bitmapIcon
           This resource defines whether hpterm will supply the window
           manager with a bitmapped icon.  The supplied bitmap may be
           ignored by the window manager.

      boldFont
           This resource defines the font used for bold (alternate) text.
           This resource is provided for backwards compatability only and
           will be removed in the next major release of HP-UX; use the
           "userBoldFont" resource instead.

      copyLine
           This resource defines the pointer button/modifier combination to
           be used to activate the CopyLine function.  See ``POINTER USAGE''
           below.

      cursorColor
           This resource defines the text cursor color.  The pointer cursor
           color is defined by the pointerColor resource.

      cut  This resource defines the pointer button/modifier combination to
           be used to activate the Cut function.  See ``POINTER USAGE''
           below.

      dc1Handshake
           This resource controls how DC1/DC2 handshaking is enabled for
           transferring data between hpterm and the application requesting
           the data.  This resource can have one of three values: ``auto'',
           ``enabled'', or ``disabled''.  When set to ``disabled'', no



 Hewlett-Packard Company           - 10 -                 HP-UX HPTERM






 HPTERM(1X)                                                       HPTERM(1X)




           handshaking is required for transferring data from hpterm to the
           application; when set to ``enabled'', the handshaking mode is
           controlled strictly by the state of the InhHndShk (strap G) and
           InhDC2 (strap H) flags.  Setting dc1Handshake to ``auto'' causes
           hpterm to start out with DC1 handshaking initially disabled, it
           is automatically enabled the first time hpterm receives a DC1
           character and is once again controlled by the state of the
           InhHndShk (strap G) and InhDC2 (strap H) flags.

      flashBorder
           This resource defines whether hpterm window border will change
           color when the pointer cursor enters or leaves the window.

      foreground
           This resource defines the foreground (text) color of the text
           window.

      fnAttribute
           This resource defines the softkey attribute for softkey n (1 to
           softkeyLast).  If softkeyInitializeAll is true, all softkey
           attributes can be initialized.  If it is false, only the first
           softkeyLast / 2 softkey attributes can be initialized.

      fnLabel
           This resource defines the softkey label for softkey n (1 to
           softkeyLast).  If softkeyInitializeAll is true, all softkey
           labels can be initialized.  If it is false, only the first
           softkeyLast / 2 softkey labels can be initialized.  The default
           labels for softkeys 1 to softkeyLast / 2 are ``f1'' through
           ``fsoftkeyLast / 2''.  The default labels for the remaining
           softkeys are empty if softkeyInitializeAll is false, otherwise
           they are ``fsoftkeyLast / 2 + 1'' through ``fsoftkeyLast''.

      fnString
           This resource defines the softkey string for softkey n (1 to
           softkeyLast).  If softkeyInitializeAll is true, all softkeyLast
           softkey strings can be initialized.  If it is false, only the
           first softkeyLast / 2 softkey strings can be initialized.  The
           default strings for softkeys 1 to 8 are ``<esc>p'' through
           ``<esc>w''; the default strings for the remaining softkeys are
           empty.

      halfBrightInhibit
           This resource defines whether half-bright enhancements will be
           not be generated.  When true, full-bright characters will be used
           instead of half-bright characters.

      iconic
           This resource defines whether hpterm will start up in iconic
           form.

      internalBorder
           This resource defines the number of pixels between the characters
           and the window border.

      kshMode
           This resource defines whether hpterm will operate in ksh mode.
           In ksh mode, hpterm converts characters entered with the extend
           key pressed into a two-character sequence consisting of an ASCII
           escape followed by the un-extended character.

      logFile
           This resource defines the name of the file to which a terminal
           session is logged.  The default is ``HptermLogXXXXX'' (where
           XXXXX is the process id of hpterm).

      logging
           This resource defines whether a terminal session will be logged.
           It is also available at runtime via the Device Control menu.

      loginShell
           This resource defines whether the shell to be run in the window
           will be started as a login shell (i.e., the first character of
           argv[0] will be a dash, indicating to the shell that it should
           read the user's /etc/profile and .profile (for ksh and sh) or
           /etc/csh.login and .login (for csh).

      makeColors
           This resource is provided for backward compatibility with older
           versions of hpterm; since it may not be supported in future
           releases, it is no longer recommended for use. This resource
           defines how the bottomShadowColor, foreground, and topShadowColor
           resources of the scrollbar and softkey widgets will be generated
           and how the foreground resource of the term0 widget will be
           generated.  If the value of this resource is ``all'', then hpterm
           will use the value of the background resource of the term0 widget
           to generate a value for the foreground, and the background
           resource of the softkey and scrollbar widgets to generate values
           for the bottomShadowColor, foreground, and topShadowColor
           resources such that there is a 3-D look.  In this case the
           topShadowTile and bottomShadowTile are always set to
           ``foreground.'' If the makeColors resource value is ``shadow''
           the bottomShadowColor and topShadowColor will be generated but
           foreground will not be generated.  If the makeColors resource
           value is set to ``none'' then no colors will be generated.

      mapOnOutput
           This resource defines whether hpterm will map (de-iconify) itself
           upon pty output if it is unmapped (iconified).  An initial period
           of time during which hpterm will not map itself upon pty output
           may be specified to allow hpterm to not map itself upon initial
           shell output.  The delay is set via the mapOnOutputDelay

 HPTERM(1X)                                                       HPTERM(1X)




           resource.

      mapOnOutputDelay
           This resource defines the number of seconds at startup during
           which hpterm will not map (de-iconify) itself upon pty output.

      paste
           This resource defines the pointer button/modifier combination to
           be used to activate the Paste function.  See ``POINTER USAGE''
           below.

      pointerBlank
           This resource defines whether hpterm will put the pointer cursor
           into blanking mode.  In blanking mode, the pointer cursor will
           turn on when the pointer is moved, and will be blanked either
           after a selectable number of seconds or after keyboard input has
           occurred.  The delay is set via the pointerBlankDelay resource.

      pointerBlankDelay
           This resource defines the number of seconds to wait before
           blanking the pointer cursor after the pointer has been moved.
           When set to ``0'', the pointer will be blanked only upon keyboard
           input.

      pointerColor
           This resource defines the pointer cursor color.  The text cursor
           color is defined by the cursorColor resource.

      pointerShape
           This resource defines the pointer cursor shape.  Valid cursor
           shapes may be found in the file
           ``/usr/include/X11/cursorfont.h.''  Shapes are specified as the
           name with the leading ``XC_'' dropped.  Valid cursor shapes
           include ``left_ptr'', ``crosshair'', and ``xterm.''

      reverseVideo
           This resource defines whether reverse video will be simulated by
           swapping the foreground and background colors.

      roman8
           This resource controls the mapping of keys to characters and is
           effective only for western european keyboards.  Roman8 encoding
           is used when set to TRUE, ISO 8859-1 encoding is used when set to
           FALSE.  (It is the user's responsibility to ensure that correctly
           encoded fonts are used; refer to the discussion on fonts in your
           Using the X Window System Manual for more information on font
           characteristics.)

      saveLines
           This resource defines the number of lines in the terminal buffer
           beyond the length of the window.  The resource value consists of

 HPTERM(1X)                                                       HPTERM(1X)




           a ``number'' followed by an optional ``suffix.'' If no suffix is
           included or the suffix is ``l'' the total length of the terminal
           buffer will be number plus the length of the terminal window.  If
           the suffix is ``s'' the total length of the terminal buffer will
           be (number plus one) times the length of the terminal window.
           Hpterm will try to maintain the same buffer to window ratio when
           the window is resized larger.

      scrollBar
           This resource defines whether the scrollbar will be displayed.

      softkeyInitialize16
           This resource enables initialization of all softkeyLast softkeys.
           If false, only the first softkeyLast / 2 softkeys can be
           initialized via resources.  (This resource has been superceded by
           softkeyInitializeAll, and will be eliminated in the next release
           of HP-UX.)

      softkeyInitializeAll
           This resource enables initialization of all softkeyLast softkeys.
           If false, only the first softkeyLast / 2 softkeys can be
           initialized via resources.

      softkeyLast
           This resource tells hpterm the maximum number of user softkeys to
           recognize (16 or 24).  The only valid values for this resource
           are 16 or 24; values greater than 16 are forced to 24, values
           less then 16 are forced to 16.

      softkeySelect
           This resource defines the pointer button/modifier combination to
           be used for selecting softkeys.  See ``POINTER USAGE'' below.

      stickyNextCursor
           This resource defines whether the cursor should be homed when the
           Next key is pressed.  When true, the cursor will be in the same
           screen position after the key is pressed that it was in before
           pressing the key.  When false, the cursor will be moved to the
           upper left hand corner of the screen after the key is pressed.

      stickyPrevCursor
           This resource defines whether the cursor should be homed when the
           Prev key is pressed.  When true, the cursor will be in the same
           screen position after the key is pressed that it was in before
           pressing the key.  When false, the cursor will be moved to the
           upper left hand corner of the screen after the key is pressed.

      termId
           This resource defines the name for hpterm to use when identifying
           itself to application programs.  Refer to the WARNINGS section
           for additional information about using hpterm with block mode

           applications.

      termName
           This resource defines the string for setting the ``$TERM''
           environment variable.

      ttyModes
           This resource specifies a string containing terminal-setting
           keywords and the characters to which they may be bound.
           Allowable keywords include: intr, quit, erase, kill, eof, eol,
           swtch, start, stop, brk, susp, dsusp, rprnt, flush, weras, and
           Inext.  Control characters may be specified as ^char (e.g. ^c or
           ^u), and ^? may be used to indicate delete.  This is very useful
           for overriding the default terminal settings without having to do
           an stty every time an hpterm is started.

      userBoldFont
           This resource defines the font used for bold (alternate) text.

      userFont
           This resource defines the font used for normal (primary) text.

      visualBell
           This resource defines whether a visible bell (i.e. flashing)
           should be used instead of an audible bell when Control-G is
           received.

      The following resources are specified as part of the ``softkey''
      widget (name ``softkey'', class ``Softkey'').  For example, the
      softkey userFont resource would be specified one of:

                     HPterm*softkey*userFont:   hp8.8x16
                     HPterm*Softkey*userFont:   hp8.8x16

 POINTER USAGE    [Toc]    [Back]
      Hpterm allows you to cut and paste text within its own or other
      windows.  All cutting and pasting is done using the PRIMARY selection.
      (To maintain compatability with previous versions of hpterm (and other
      applications that use cut buffers), the cutting and pasting is also
      done to/from the first global cut buffer.  When pasting, hpterm gets
      its text from the PRIMARY selection; if the PRIMARY selection is not
      owned, or the current owner cannot supply the data as text, hpterm
      will try to get its data from the first global cut buffer.)  The
      PRIMARY selection will be disowned (and the selected text
      unhighlighted) under the following conditions:

        1)
          the cursor is moved anywhere before the end of the selected
          region

 HPTERM(1X)                                                       HPTERM(1X)




        2)
          the beginning of the selected region is scrolled off the end of
          the terminal buffer

        3)
          the selected region is scrolled across the boundaries of the
          locked region when memory lock is enabled.

      The default button assignments may be changed via various resource
      strings.  The cut and paste functions and their default button
      assignments are:

      Cut   The left button is used to ``cut'' text into the cut buffer.
            Move the pointer to the beginning of the text to cut, press the
            button, move the cursor to the end of the region, and release
            the button.  The ``cut'' text will not include the character
            currently under the pointer.

      Paste The middle button ``pastes'' the text from the cut buffer,
            inserting it as keyboard input.

      CopyLine    [Toc]    [Back]
            The right hand button ``cuts'' the text from the pointer (at
            button release) through the end of line (including the new
            line), saving it in the cut buffer, and immediately ``pastes''
            the line, inserting it as keyboard input.  This provides a
            history mechanism.

      The copyLine, cut, and paste key functions can be configured to any
      button and modifier combination desired via various resources.  Each
      assignment consists of an optional combination of modifiers (``none''
      or any combination of ``shift'', ``meta'', ``lock'', ``control'',
      ``mod1'', ..., ``mod5'' separated by blanks), followed by a ``|'' and
      the name of the button (``left'', ``middle'', ``right'', ``button1'',
      ..., ``button5'').  For example, if it is desired for the cut function
      to be associated with the middle button with shift and control
      pressed, one could use the following resource line:

                       *cut:              shift control | middle

      For a full list of resource names, see ``RESOURCES'' above.


 XCONSOLES    [Toc]    [Back]
      It is possible to configure a system to allow redirection of console
      output (and input) to an hpterm window.  If the ``-C'' option is used,
      hpterm will redirect console output (and input) if:

              Hpterm is displaying on the local system.  Hpterm must be
              running on the same system as the server that is displaying
              the window.

 HPTERM(1X)                                                       HPTERM(1X)




              The display is authorized.  The display number of the display
              name (see ``Display Specification'' in X(1)) must be
              authorized to take control of the console via the file
               ``/etc/X11/Xconsoles.''  The file is parsed as follows:

                      A `#' and all following text on a line are ignored.

                      Blank lines are ignored.

                      Leading tabs and spaces are ignored.

                      A number matching the display number authorizes the
                      server to redirect console output (and input).

                      An asterisk (`*') matches all display numbers and
                      authorizes the server to redirect console output (and
                      input).

      If either condition is not met, a warning will be written to stderr
      and console output (and input) will not be redirected.


 WARNINGS    [Toc]    [Back]
      When running block mode applications, it may be necessary for hpterm
      to identify itself to application programs as some terminal other than
      ``hpterm.''  Most applications understand the terminal id ``2392A.''
      Newer applications also understand the terminal id ``700/92'' while
      older applications may only understand the terminal id ``2622A.'' To
      set the terminal identification string, use the ``-ti'' command line
      option, the ``termId'' resource, or the ``TermId'' class.

      Hpterm does not support line block mode.

      Hpterm does not fully support locales that contain 3 or 4 byte
      characters and will silently ignore any 3 or 4 byte characters in the
      data stream.  Dtterm is the recommended terminal emulator when
      operating in Asian EUC locales.

      The overflow protect mode of memory lock is not supported.


 ENVIRONMENT    [Toc]    [Back]
      Hpterm sets the environment variables ``$LINES'' and ``$COLUMNS'' to
      the number of lines and columns of the terminal screen.  It also uses
      and sets the environment variable ``$DISPLAY'' to specify its server
      connection.  The resize(1) command may be used to reset ``$LINES'' and
      ``$COLUMNS'' after the window size has been changed.
