     XTERM(1)		X Version 11 (Release 6.4)	      XTERM(1)



     NAME    [Toc]    [Back]
	  xterm	- terminal emulator for	X

     SYNOPSIS    [Toc]    [Back]
	  xterm	[-toolkitoption	...] [-option ...]

     DESCRIPTION    [Toc]    [Back]
	  The xterm program is a terminal emulator for the X Window
	  System.  It provides DEC VT102 and Tektronix 4014 compatible
	  terminals for	programs that can't use	the window system
	  directly.  If	the underlying operating system	supports
	  terminal resizing capabilities (for example, the SIGWINCH
	  signal in systems derived from 4.3bsd), xterm	will use the
	  facilities to	notify programs	running	in the window whenever
	  it is	resized.

	  The VT102 and	Tektronix 4014 terminals each have their own
	  window so that you can edit text in one and look at graphics
	  in the other at the same time.  To maintain the correct
	  aspect ratio (height/width), Tektronix graphics will be
	  restricted to	the largest box	with a 4014's aspect ratio
	  that will fit	in the window.	This box is located in the
	  upper	left area of the window.

	  Although both	windows	may be displayed at the	same time, one
	  of them is considered	the ``active'' window for receiving
	  keyboard input and terminal output.  This is the window that
	  contains the text cursor.  The active	window can be chosen
	  through escape sequences, the	``VT Options'' menu in the
	  VT102	window,	and the	``Tek Options''	menu in	the 4014
	  window.

     EMULATIONS    [Toc]    [Back]
	  The VT102 emulation is fairly	complete, but does not support
	  smooth scrolling, VT52 mode, the blinking character
	  attribute nor	the double-wide	and double-size	character
	  sets.	 Termcap(5) entries that work with xterm include
	  ``xterm,'' ``vt102,''	``vt100'' and ``ansi,''	and xterm
	  automatically	searches the termcap file in this order	for
	  these	entries	and then sets the ``TERM'' and the ``TERMCAP''
	  environment variables.

	  Many of the special xterm features may be modified under
	  program control through a set	of escape sequences different
	  from the standard VT102 escape sequences. (See the Xterm
	  Control Sequences document.)

	  The Tektronix	4014 emulation is also fairly good.  It
	  supports 12-bit graphics addressing, scaled to the window
	  size.	 Four different	font sizes and five different lines
	  types	are supported.	There is no write-through or defocused
	  mode support.	 The Tektronix text and	graphics commands are

     XTERM(1)		X Version 11 (Release 6.4)	      XTERM(1)



	  recorded internally by xterm and may be written to a file by
	  sending the COPY escape sequence (or through the Tektronix
	  menu;	see below).  The name of the file will be
	  ``COPYyyyy-MM-dd.hh:mm:ss'', where yyyy, MM, dd, hh, mm and
	  ss are the year, month, day, hour, minute and	second when
	  the COPY was performed (the file is created in the directory
	  xterm	is started in, or the home directory for a login
	  xterm).

     OTHER FEATURES    [Toc]    [Back]
	  Xterm	automatically highlights the text cursor when the
	  pointer enters the window (selected) and unhighlights	it
	  when the pointer leaves the window (unselected).  If the
	  window is the	focus window, then the text cursor is
	  highlighted no matter	where the pointer is.

	  In VT102 mode, there are escape sequences to activate	and
	  deactivate an	alternate screen buffer, which is the same
	  size as the display area of the window.  When	activated, the
	  current screen is saved and replaced with the	alternate
	  screen.  Saving of lines scrolled off	the top	of the window
	  is disabled until the	normal screen is restored.  The
	  termcap(5) entry for xterm allows the	visual editor vi(1) to
	  switch to the	alternate screen for editing and to restore
	  the screen on	exit.

	  In either VT102 or Tektronix mode, there are escape
	  sequences to change the name of the windows.	See Xterm
	  Control Sequences for	details.

     OPTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]
	  The xterm terminal emulator accepts all of the standard X
	  Toolkit command line options as well as the following	(if
	  the option begins with a `+' instead of a `-', the option is
	  restored to its default value):

	  -help	  This causes xterm to print out a verbose message
		  describing its options.

	  -132	  Normally, the	VT102 DECCOLM escape sequence that
		  switches between 80 and 132 column mode is ignored.
		  This option causes the DECCOLM escape	sequence to be
		  recognized, and the xterm window will	resize
		  appropriately.

	  -ah	  This option indicates	that xterm should always
		  highlight the	text cursor.  By default, xterm	will
		  display a hollow text	cursor whenever	the focus is
		  lost or the pointer leaves the window.

	  +ah	  This option indicates	that xterm should do text
		  cursor highlighting based on focus.

     XTERM(1)		X Version 11 (Release 6.4)	      XTERM(1)



	  -ai	  This option disables active icon support if that
		  feature was compiled into xterm.  This is equivalent
		  to setting the vt100 resource	activeIcon to FALSE.

	  +ai	  This option enables active icon support if that
		  feature was compiled into xterm.  This is equivalent
		  to setting the vt100 resource	activeIcon to TRUE.

	  -b number
		  This option specifies	the size of the	inner border
		  (the distance	between	the outer edge of the
		  characters and the window border) in pixels.	The
		  default is 2.

	  -cb	  Set the vt100	resource cutToBeginningOfLine to
		  FALSE.

	  +cb	  Set the vt100	resource cutToBeginningOfLine to TRUE.

	  -cc characterclassrange:value[,...]
		  This sets classes indicated by the given ranges for
		  using	in selecting by	words.	See the	section
		  specifying character classes.

	  -cn	  This option indicates	that newlines should not be
		  cut in line-mode selections.

	  +cn	  This option indicates	that newlines should be	cut in
		  line-mode selections.

	  -cr color
		  This option specifies	the color to use for text
		  cursor.  The default is to use the same foreground
		  color	that is	used for text.

	  -cu	  This option indicates	that xterm should work around
		  a bug	in the more(1) program that causes it to
		  incorrectly display lines that are exactly the width
		  of the window	and are	followed by a line beginning
		  with a tab (the leading tabs are not displayed).
		  This option is so named because it was originally
		  thought to be	a bug in the curses(3x)	cursor motion
		  package.

	  +cu	  This option indicates	that xterm should not work
		  around the more(1) bug mentioned above.

	  -e program [ arguments ... ]
		  This option specifies	the program (and its command
		  line arguments) to be	run in the xterm window.  It
		  also sets the	window title and icon name to be the
		  basename of the program being	executed if neither -T



     Page 3					     (printed 10/9/01)






     XTERM(1)		X Version 11 (Release 6.4)	      XTERM(1)



		  nor -n are given on the command line.	 This must be
		  the last option on the command line.

	  -fb font
		  This option specifies	a font to be used when
		  displaying bold text.	This font must be the same
		  height and width as the normal font.	If only	one of
		  the normal or	bold fonts is specified, it will be
		  used as the normal font and the bold font will be
		  produced by overstriking this	font.  The default is
		  to do	overstriking of	the normal font.

	  -fi	  This option sets the font for	active icons if	that
		  feature was compiled in to xterm.

	  -im	  Turn on the useInsertMode resource.

	  +im	  Turn off the useInsertMode resource.

	  -j	  This option indicates	that xterm should do jump
		  scrolling.  Normally,	text is	scrolled one line at a
		  time;	this option allows xterm to move multiple
		  lines	at a time so that it doesn't fall as far
		  behind.  Its use is strongly recommended since it
		  make xterm much faster when scanning through large
		  amounts of text.  The	VT100 escape sequences for
		  enabling and disabling smooth	scroll as well as the
		  ``VT Options'' menu can be used to turn this feature
		  on or	off.

	  +j	  This option indicates	that xterm should not do jump
		  scrolling.

	  -ls	  This option indicates	that the shell that is started
		  in the xterm window will 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 .login	or .profile).

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

	  -mb	  This option indicates	that xterm should ring a
		  margin bell when the user types near the right end
		  of a line.  This option can be turned	on and off
		  from the ``VT	Options'' menu.

	  +mb	  This option indicates	that margin bell should	not be
		  rung.

	  -mc milliseconds

     XTERM(1)		X Version 11 (Release 6.4)	      XTERM(1)



		  This option specifies	the maximum time between
		  multi-click selections.

	  -ms color
		  This option specifies	the color to be	used for the
		  pointer cursor.  The default is to use the
		  foreground color.

	  -nb number
		  This option specifies	the number of characters from
		  the right end	of a line at which the margin bell, if
		  enabled, will	ring.  The default is 10.

	  -rw	  This option indicates	that reverse-wraparound	should
		  be allowed.  This allows the cursor to back up from
		  the leftmost column of one line to the rightmost
		  column of the	previous line.	This is	very useful
		  for editing long shell command lines and is
		  encouraged.  This option can be turned on and	off
		  from the ``VT	Options'' menu.

	  +rw	  This option indicates	that reverse-wraparound	should
		  not be allowed.

	  -aw	  This option indicates	that auto-wraparound should be
		  allowed.  This allows	the cursor to automatically
		  wrap to the beginning	of the next line when when it
		  is at	the rightmost position of a line and text is
		  output.

	  +aw	  This option indicates	that auto-wraparound should
		  not be allowed.

	  -s	  This option indicates	that xterm may scroll
		  asynchronously, meaning that the screen does not
		  have to be kept completely up	to date	while
		  scrolling.  This allows xterm	to run faster when
		  network latencies are	very high and is typically
		  useful when running across a very large internet or
		  many gateways.

	  +s	  This option indicates	that xterm should scroll
		  synchronously.

	  -sb	  This option indicates	that some number of lines that
		  are scrolled off the top of the window should	be
		  saved	and that a scrollbar should be displayed so
		  that those lines can be viewed.  This	option may be
		  turned on and	off from the ``VT Options'' menu.

	  +sb	  This option indicates	that a scrollbar should	not be
		  displayed.

     XTERM(1)		X Version 11 (Release 6.4)	      XTERM(1)



	  -sf	  This option indicates	that Sun Function Key escape
		  codes	should be generated for	function keys.

	  +sf	  This option indicates	that the standard escape codes
		  should be generated for function keys.

	  -si	  This option indicates	that output to a window	should
		  not automatically reposition the screen to the
		  bottom of the	scrolling region. This option can be
		  turned on and	off from the ``VT Options'' menu.

	  +si	  This option indicates	that output to a window	should
		  cause	it to scroll to	the bottom.

	  -sk	  This option indicates	that pressing a	key while
		  using	the scrollbar to review	previous lines of text
		  should cause the window to be	repositioned
		  automatically	in the normal position at the bottom
		  of the scroll	region.

	  +sk	  This option indicates	that pressing a	key while
		  using	the scrollbar should not cause the window to
		  be repositioned.

	  -sl number
		  This option specifies	the number of lines to save
		  that have been scrolled off the top of the screen.
		  The default is 64.

	  -t	  This option indicates	that xterm should start	in
		  Tektronix mode, rather than in VT102 mode.
		  Switching between the	two windows is done using the
		  ``Options'' menus.

	  +t	  This option indicates	that xterm should start	in
		  VT102	mode.

	  -tm string
		  This option specifies	a series of terminal setting
		  keywords followed by the characters that should be
		  bound	to those functions, similar to the stty
		  program.  Allowable keywords include:	intr, quit,
		  erase, kill, eof, eol, swtch,	start, stop, brk,
		  susp,	dsusp, rprnt, flush, weras, and	lnext.
		  Control characters may be specified as ^char (e.g.
		  ^c or	^u) and	^? may be used to indicate delete.

	  -tn name
		  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.

     XTERM(1)		X Version 11 (Release 6.4)	      XTERM(1)



	  -ut	  This option indicates	that xterm shouldn't write a
		  record into the the system log file /etc/utmp.

	  +ut	  This option indicates	that xterm should write	a
		  record into the system log file /etc/utmp.

	  -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.

	  +vb	  This option indicates	that a visual bell should not
		  be used.

	  -wf	  This option indicates	that xterm should wait for the
		  window to be mapped the first	time before starting
		  the subprocess so that the initial terminal size
		  settings and environment variables are correct.  It
		  is the application's responsibility to catch
		  subsequent terminal size changes.

	  +wf	  This option indicates	that xterm show	not wait
		  before starting the subprocess.

	  -C	  This option indicates	that this window should
		  receive console output.  This	is not supported on
		  all systems.	To obtain console output, you must be
		  the owner of the console device, and you must	have
		  read and write permission for	it.  If	you are
		  running X under xdm on the console screen you	may
		  need to have the session startup and reset programs
		  explicitly change the	ownership of the console
		  device in order to get this option to	work.

	  -Sccn	  This option specifies	the last two letters of	the
		  name of a pseudoterminal to use in slave mode, plus
		  the number of	the inherited file descriptor.	The
		  option is parsed ``%c%c%d''.	This allows xterm to
		  be used as an	input and output channel for an
		  existing program and is sometimes used in
		  specialized applications.

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

	  %geom	  This option specifies	the preferred size and
		  position of the Tektronix window.  It	is shorthand
		  for specifying the ``*tekGeometry'' resource.

	  #geom	  This option specifies	the preferred position of the



     Page 7					     (printed 10/9/01)






     XTERM(1)		X Version 11 (Release 6.4)	      XTERM(1)



		  icon window.	It is shorthand	for specifying the
		  ``*iconGeometry'' resource.

	  -T string
		  This option specifies	the title for xterm's windows.
		  It is	equivalent to -title.

	  -n string
		  This option specifies	the icon name for xterm's
		  windows.  It is shorthand for	specifying the
		  ``*iconName''	resource.  Note	that this is not the
		  same as the toolkit option -name (see	below).	 The
		  default icon name is the application name.

	  -r	  This option indicates	that reverse video should be
		  simulated by swapping	the foreground and background
		  colors.  It is equivalent to -rv.

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

	  The following	standard X Toolkit command line	arguments are
	  commonly used	with xterm:

	  -bg color
		  This option specifies	the color to use for the
		  background of	the window. The	default	is ``white.''

	  -bd color
		  This option specifies	the color to use for the
		  border of the	window.	 The default is	``black.''

	  -bw number
		  This option specifies	the width in pixels of the
		  border surrounding the window.

	  -fg color
		  This option specifies	the color to use for
		  displaying text.  The	default	is ``black.''

	  -fn font
		  This option specifies	the font to be used for
		  displaying normal text.  The default is fixed.

	  -name	name
		  This option specifies	the application	name under
		  which	resources are to be obtained, rather than the
		  default executable file name.	 Name should not
		  contain ``.''	or ``*'' characters.

     XTERM(1)		X Version 11 (Release 6.4)	      XTERM(1)



	  -title string
		  This option specifies	the window title string, which
		  may be displayed by window managers if the user so
		  chooses.  The	default	title is the command line
		  specified after the -e option, if any, otherwise the
		  application name.

	  -rv	  This option indicates	that reverse video should be
		  simulated by swapping	the foreground and background
		  colors.

	  -geometry geometry
		  This option specifies	the preferred size and
		  position of the VT102	window;	see X(1).

	  -display display
		  This option specifies	the X server to	contact; see
		  X(1).

	  -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.

	  -iconic This option indicates	that xterm should ask the
		  window manager to start it as	an icon	rather than as
		  the normal window.

     RESOURCES    [Toc]    [Back]
	  The program understands all of the core X Toolkit resource
	  names	and classes as well as:

	  iconGeometry (class IconGeometry)
		  Specifies the	preferred size and position of the
		  application when iconified.  It is not necessarily
		  obeyed by all	window managers.

	  iconName (class IconName)
		  Specifies the	icon name.  The	default	is the
		  application name.

	  termName (class TermName)
		  Specifies the	terminal type name to be set in	the
		  TERM environment variable.

	  title	(class Title)
		  Specifies a string that may be used by the window
		  manager when displaying this application.

	  ttyModes (class TtyModes)
		  Specifies a string containing	terminal setting
		  keywords and the characters to which they may	be



     Page 9					     (printed 10/9/01)






     XTERM(1)		X Version 11 (Release 6.4)	      XTERM(1)



		  bound.  Allowable keywords include: intr, quit,
		  erase, kill, eof, eol, swtch,	start, stop, brk,
		  susp,	dsusp, rprnt, flush, weras, and	lnext.
		  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 xterm	is started.

	  useInsertMode	(class UseInsertMode)
		  Force	use of insert mode by adding appropriate
		  entries to the TERMCAP environment variable.	This
		  is useful if the system termcap is broken.  The
		  default is ``false.''

	  utmpInhibit (class UtmpInhibit)
		  Specifies whether or not xterm should	try to record
		  the user's terminal in /etc/utmp.

	  sunFunctionKeys (class SunFunctionKeys)
		  Specifies whether or not Sun Function	Key escape
		  codes	should be generated for	function keys instead
		  of standard escape sequences.

	  waitForMap (class WaitForMap)
		  Specifies whether or not xterm should	wait for the
		  initial window map before starting the subprocess.
		  The default is ``false.''


	  The following	resources are specified	as part	of the vt100
	  widget (class	VT100):

	  activeIcon (class ActiveIcon)
		  Specifies whether or not active icon windows are to
		  be used when the xterm window	is iconified, if this
		  feature is compiled into xterm.  The active icon is
		  a miniature representation of	the content of the
		  window and will update as the	content	changes.  Not
		  all window managers necessarily support application
		  icon windows.	 Some window managers will allow you
		  to enter keystrokes into the active icon window.
		  The default is ``false.''

	  allowSendEvents (class AllowSendEvents)
		  Specifies whether or not synthetic key and button
		  events (generated using the X	protocol SendEvent
		  request) should be interpreted or discarded.	The
		  default is ``false'' meaning they are	discarded.
		  Note that allowing such events creates a very	large
		  security hole.




     Page 10					     (printed 10/9/01)






     XTERM(1)		X Version 11 (Release 6.4)	      XTERM(1)



	  alwaysHighlight (class AlwaysHighlight)
		  Specifies whether or not xterm should	always display
		  a highlighted	text cursor.  By default, a hollow
		  text cursor is displayed whenever the	pointer	moves
		  out of the window or the window loses	the input
		  focus.

	  appcursorDefault (class AppcursorDefault)
		  If ``true,'' the cursor keys are initially in
		  application mode.  The default is ``false.''

	  appkeypadDefault (class AppkeypadDefault)
		  If ``true,'' the keypad keys are initially in
		  application mode.  The default is ``false.''

	  autoWrap (class AutoWrap)
		  Specifies whether or not auto-wraparound should be
		  enabled.  The	default	is ``true.''

	  bellSuppressTime (class BellSuppressTime)
		  Number of milliseconds after a bell command is sent
		  during which additional bells	will be	suppressed.
		  Default is 200.  If set non-zero, additional bells
		  will also be suppressed until	the server reports
		  that processing of the first bell has	been
		  completed; this feature is most useful with the
		  visible bell.

	  boldFont (class BoldFont)
		  Specifies the	name of	the bold font to use instead
		  of overstriking.

	  c132 (class C132)
		  Specifies whether or not the VT102 DECCOLM escape
		  sequence should be honored.  The default is
		  ``false.''

	  cutNewline (class CutNewline)
		  If false, triple clicking to select a	line does not
		  include the Newline at the end of the	line.  If
		  true,	the Newline is selected.  The default is
		  ``true.''

	  cutToBeginningOfLine (class CutToBeginningOfLine)
		  If false, triple clicking to select a	line selects
		  only from the	current	word forward.  If true,	the
		  entire line is selected.  The	default	is ``true.''

	  charClass (class CharClass)
		  Specifies comma-separated lists of character class
		  bindings of the form [low-]high:value.  These	are
		  used in determining which sets of characters should



     Page 11					     (printed 10/9/01)






     XTERM(1)		X Version 11 (Release 6.4)	      XTERM(1)



		  be treated the same when doing cut and paste.	 See
		  the section on specifying character classes.

	  curses (class	Curses)
		  Specifies whether or not the last column bug in
		  more(1) should be worked around.  See	the -cu	option
		  for details.	The default is ``false.''

	  background (class Background)
		  Specifies the	color to use for the background	of the
		  window.  The default is ``white.''

	  foreground (class Foreground)
		  Specifies the	color to use for displaying text in
		  the window.  Setting the class name instead of the
		  instance name	is an easy way to have everything that
		  would	normally appear	in the text color change
		  color.  The default is ``black.''

	  cursorColor (class Foreground)
		  Specifies the	color to use for the text cursor.  The
		  default is ``black.''

	  eightBitInput	(class EightBitInput)
		  If true, Meta	characters input from the keyboard are
		  presented as a single	character with the eighth bit
		  turned on.  If false,	Meta characters	are converted
		  into a two-character sequence	with the character
		  itself preceded by ESC.  The default is ``true.''

	  eightBitOutput (class	EightBitOutput)
		  Specifies whether or not eight-bit characters	sent
		  from the host	should be accepted as is or stripped
		  when printed.	 The default is	``true.''

	  font (class Font)
		  Specifies the	name of	the normal font.  The default
		  is ``fixed.''

	  font1	(class Font1)
		  Specifies the	name of	the first alternative font.

	  font2	(class Font2)
		  Specifies the	name of	the second alternative font.

		  left corner of the screen.  The default is
		  ``false.''

	  iconBorderWidth (class BorderWidth)
		  Specifies the	border width for the active icon
		  window if this feature is compiled into xterm.  The
		  default is 0 (no border).  Not all window managers
		  will make the	border visible.

		  top line of text on the screen stay fixed.  If the
		  window is made shorter, lines	are dropped from the
		  bottom; if the window	is made	taller,	blank lines
		  are added at the bottom.  This is compatible with
		  the behavior in R4.  SouthWest (the default)
		  specifies that the bottom line of text on the	screen
		  stay fixed.  If the window is	made taller,
		  additional saved lines will be scrolled down onto
		  the screen; if the window is made shorter, lines
		  will be scrolled off the top of the screen, and the
		  top saved lines will be dropped.

     XTERM(1)		X Version 11 (Release 6.4)	      XTERM(1)



	  The following	resources are useful when specified for	the
	  Athena Scrollbar widget:

	  thickness (class Thickness)
		  Specifies the	width in pixels	of the scrollbar.

	  background (class Background)
		  Specifies the	color to use for the background	of the
		  scrollbar.

	  foreground (class Foreground)
		  Specifies the	color to use for the foreground	of the
		  scrollbar.  The ``thumb'' of the scrollbar is	a
		  simple checkerboard pattern alternating pixels for
		  foreground and background color.

     POINTER USAGE    [Toc]    [Back]
	  Once the VT102 window	is created, xterm allows you to	select
	  text and copy	it within the same or other windows.

	  The selection	functions are invoked when the pointer buttons
	  are used with	no modifiers, and when they are	used with the
	  ``shift'' key.  The assignment of the	functions described
	  below	to keys	and buttons may	be changed through the
	  resource database; see ACTIONS below.

	  Pointer button one (usually left) is used to save text into
	  the cut buffer.  Move	the cursor to beginning	of the text,
	  and then hold	the button down	while moving the cursor	to the
	  end of the region and	releasing the button.  The selected
	  text is highlighted and is saved in the global cut buffer
	  and made the PRIMARY selection when the button is released.
	  Double-clicking selects by words.  Triple-clicking selects
	  by lines.  Quadruple-clicking	goes back to characters, etc.
	  Multiple-click is determined by the time from	button up to
	  button down, so you can change the selection unit in the
	  middle of a selection.  If the key/button bindings specify
	  that an X selection is to be made, xterm will	leave the
	  selected text	highlighted for	as long	as it is the selection
	  owner.

	  Pointer button two (usually middle) `types' (pastes) the
	  text from the	PRIMARY	selection, if any, otherwise from the
	  cut buffer, inserting	it as keyboard input.

	  Pointer button three (usually	right) extends the current
	  selection.  (Without loss of generality, you can swap
	  ``right'' and	``left'' everywhere in the rest	of this
	  paragraph.)  If pressed while	closer to the right edge of
	  the selection	than the left, it extends/contracts the	right
	  edge of the selection.  If you contract the selection	past
	  the left edge	of the selection, xterm	assumes	you really



     Page 21					     (printed 10/9/01)






     XTERM(1)		X Version 11 (Release 6.4)	      XTERM(1)



	  meant	the left edge, restores	the original selection,	then
	  extends/contracts the	left edge of the selection.  Extension
	  starts in the	selection unit mode that the last selection or
	  extension was	performed in; you can multiple-click to	cycle
	  through them.

	  By cutting and pasting pieces	of text	without	trailing new
	  lines, you can take text from	several	places in different
	  windows and form a command to	the shell, for example,	or
	  take output from a program and insert	it into	your favorite
	  editor.  Since the cut buffer	is globally shared among
	  different applications, you should regard it as a `file'
	  whose	contents you know.  The	terminal emulator and other
	  text programs	should be treating it as if it were a text
	  file,	i.e., the text is delimited by new lines.

	  The scroll region displays the position and amount of	text
	  currently showing in the window (highlighted)	relative to
	  the amount of	text actually saved.  As more text is saved
	  (up to the maximum), the size	of the highlighted area
	  decreases.

	  Clicking button one with the pointer in the scroll region
	  moves	the adjacent line to the top of	the display window.

	  Clicking button three	moves the top line of the display
	  window down to the pointer position.

	  Clicking button two moves the	display	to a position in the
	  saved	text that corresponds to the pointer's position	in the
	  scrollbar.

	  Unlike the VT102 window, the Tektronix window	dows not allow
	  the copying of text.	It does	allow Tektronix	GIN mode, and
	  in this mode the cursor will change from an arrow to a
	  cross.  Pressing any key will	send that key and the current
	  coordinate of	the cross cursor.  Pressing button one,	two,
	  or three will	return the letters `l',	`m', and `r',
	  respectively.	 If the	`shift'	key is pressed when a pointer
	  button is pressed, the corresponding upper case letter is
	  sent.	 To distinguish	a pointer button from a	key, the high
	  bit of the character is set (but this	is bit is normally
	  stripped unless the terminal mode is RAW; see	tty(4) for
	  details).

     MENUS    [Toc]    [Back]
	  Xterm	has four menus,	named mainMenu,	vtMenu,	fontMenu, and
	  tekMenu.  Each menu pops up under the	correct	combinations
	  of key and button presses.  Most menus are divided into two
	  section, separated by	a horizontal line.  The	top portion
	  contains various modes that can be altered.  A check mark
	  appears next to a mode that is currently active.  Selecting



     Page 22					     (printed 10/9/01)






     XTERM(1)		X Version 11 (Release 6.4)	      XTERM(1)



	  one of these modes toggles its state.	 The bottom portion of
	  the menu are command entries;	selecting one of these
	  performs the indicated function.

	  The xterm menu pops up when the ``control'' key and pointer
	  button one are pressed in a window.  The mainMenu contains
	  items	that apply to both the VT102 and Tektronix windows.
	  The Secure Keyboard mode is be used when typing in passwords
	  or other sensitive data in an	unsecure environment; see
	  SECURITY below.  Notable entries in the command section of
	  the menu are the Continue, Suspend, Interrupt, Hangup,
	  Terminate and	Kill which sends the SIGCONT, SIGTSTP, SIGINT,
	  SIGHUP, SIGTERM and SIGKILL signals, respectively, to	the
	  process group	of the process running under xterm (usually
	  the shell).  The Continue function is	especially useful if
	  the user has accidentally typed CTRL-Z, suspending the
	  process.

	  The vtMenu sets various modes	in the VT102 emulation,	and is
	  popped up when the ``control'' key and pointer button	two
	  are pressed in the VT102 window.  In the command section of
	  this menu, the soft reset entry will reset scroll regions.
	  This can be convenient when some program has left the	scroll
	  regions set incorrectly (often a problem when	using VMS or
	  TOPS-20).  The full reset entry will clear the screen, reset
	  tabs to every	eight columns, and reset the terminal modes
	  (such	as wrap	and smooth scroll) to their initial states
	  just after xterm has finished	processing the command line
	  options.

	  The fontMenu sets the	font used in the VT102 window.	In
	  addition to the default font and a number of alternatives
	  that are set with resources, the menu	offers the font	last
	  specified by the Set Font escape sequence (see the document
	  Xterm	Control	Sequences) and the current selection as	a font
	  name (if the PRIMARY selection is owned).

	  The tekMenu sets various modes in the	Tektronix emulation,
	  and is popped	up when	the ``control''	key and	pointer	button
	  two are pressed in the Tektronix window.  The	current	font
	  size is checked in the modes section of the menu.  The PAGE
	  entry	in the command section clears the Tektronix window.

     SECURITY    [Toc]    [Back]
	  X environments differ	in their security consciousness.  Most
	  servers, run under xdm, are capable of using a ``magic
	  cookie'' authorization scheme	that can provide a reasonable
	  level	of security for	many people.  If your server is	only
	  using	a host-based mechanism to control access to the	server
	  (see xhost(1)), then if you enable access for	a host and
	  other	users are also permitted to run	clients	on that	same
	  host,	there is every possibility that	someone	can run	an



     Page 23					     (printed 10/9/01)






     XTERM(1)		X Version 11 (Release 6.4)	      XTERM(1)



	  application that will	use the	basic services of the X
	  protocol to snoop on your activities,	potentially capturing
	  a transcript of everything you type at the keyboard.	This
	  is of	particular concern when	you want to type in a password
	  or other sensitive data.  The	best solution to this problem
	  is to	use a better authorization mechanism that host-based
	  control, but a simple	mechanism exists for protecting
	  keyboard input in xterm.

	  The xterm menu (see MENUS above) contains a Secure Keyboard
	  entry	which, when enabled, ensures that all keyboard input
	  is directed only to xterm (using the GrabKeyboard protocol
	  request).  When an application prompts you for a password
	  (or other sensitive data), you can enable Secure Keyboard
	  using	the menu, type in the data, and	then disable Secure
	  Keyboard using the menu again.  Only one X client at a time
	  can secure the keyboard, so when you attempt to enable
	  Secure Keyboard it may fail.	In this	case, the bell will
	  sound.  If the Secure	Keyboard succeeds, the foreground and
	  background colors will be exchanged (as if you selected the
	  Reverse Video	entry in the Modes menu); they will be
	  exchanged again when you exit	secure mode.  If the colors do
	  not switch, then you should be very suspicious that you are
	  being	spoofed.  If the application you are running displays
	  a prompt before asking for the password, it is safest	to
	  enter	secure mode before the prompt gets displayed, and to
	  make sure that the prompt gets displayed correctly (in the
	  new colors), to minimize the probability of spoofing.	 You
	  can also bring up the	menu again and make sure that a	check
	  mark appears next to the entry.

	  Secure Keyboard mode will be disabled	automatically if your
	  xterm	window becomes iconified (or otherwise unmapped), or
	  if you start up a reparenting	window manager (that places a
	  title	bar or other decoration	around the window) while in
	  Secure Keyboard mode.	 (This is a feature of the X protocol
	  not easily overcome.)	 When this happens, the	foreground and
	  background colors will be switched back and the bell will
	  sound	in warning.

     CHARACTER CLASSES    [Toc]    [Back]
	  Clicking the middle mouse button twice in rapid succession
	  will cause all characters of the same	class (e.g. letters,
	  white	space, punctuation) to be selected.  Since different
	  people have different	preferences for	what should be
	  selected (for	example, should	filenames be selected as a
	  whole	or only	the separate subnames),	the default mapping
	  can be overridden through the	use of the charClass (class
	  CharClass) resource.

	  This resource	is a series of comma-separated of range:value
	  pairs.  The range is either a	single number or low-high in

	  For example, the string ``33:48,37:48,45-47:48,64:48''
	  indicates that the exclamation mark, percent sign, dash,
	  period, slash, and ampersand characters should be treated
	  the same way as characters and numbers.  This	is useful for
	  cutting and pasting electronic mailing addresses and
	  filenames.

     ACTIONS    [Toc]    [Back]
	  It is	possible to rebind keys	(or sequences of keys) to
	  arbitrary strings for	input, by changing the translations
	  for the vt100	or tek4014 widgets.  Changing the translations

	  for events other than	key and	button events is not expected,
	  and will cause unpredictable behavior.  The following
	  actions are provided for using within	the vt100 or tek4014
	  translations resources:

	  bell([percent])
		  This action rings the	keyboard bell at the specified
		  percentage above or below the	base volume.

	  ignore()
		  This action ignores the event	but checks for special
		  pointer position escape sequences.

	  insert()
		  This action inserts the character or string
		  associated with the key that was pressed.

	  insert-seven-bit()
		  This action is a synonym for insert()

	  insert-eight-bit()
		  This action inserts an eight-bit (Meta) version of
		  the character	or string associated with the key that
		  was pressed.	The exact action depends on the	value
		  of the eightBitInput resource.

	  insert-selection(sourcename [, ...])
		  This action inserts the string found in the
		  selection or cutbuffer indicated by sourcename.
		  Sources are checked in the order given (case is
		  significant) until one is found.  Commonly-used
		  selections include:  PRIMARY,	SECONDARY, and
		  CLIPBOARD.  Cut buffers are typically	named
		  CUT_BUFFER0 through CUT_BUFFER7.

	  keymap(name)
		  This action dynamically defines a new	translation
		  table	whose resource name is name with the suffix
		  Keymap (case is significant).	 The name None
		  restores the original	translation table.

	  popup-menu(menuname)
		  This action displays the specified popup menu.
		  Valid	names (case is significant) include:
		  mainMenu, vtMenu, fontMenu, and tekMenu.

	  secure()
		  This action toggles the Secure Keyboard mode
		  described in the section named SECURITY, and is
		  invoked from the securekbd entry in mainMenu.

	  select-start()

     XTERM(1)		X Version 11 (Release 6.4)	      XTERM(1)



		  This action begins text selection at the current
		  pointer location.  See the section on	POINTER	USAGE
		  for information on making selections.

	  select-extend()
		  This action tracks the pointer and extends the
		  selection.  It should	only be	bound to Motion
		  events.

	  select-end(destname [, ...])
		  This action puts the currently selected text into
		  all of the selections	or cutbuffers specified	by
		  destname.

	  select-cursor-start()
		  This action is similar to select-start except	that
		  it begins the	selection at the current text cursor
		  position.

	  select-cursor-end(destname [,	...])
		  This action is similar to select-end except that it
		  should be used with select-cursor-start.

	  set-vt-font(d/1/2/3/4/5/6/e/s	[,normalfont [,	boldfont]])
		  This action sets the font or fonts currently being
		  used in the VT102 window.  The first argument	is a
		  single character that	specifies the font to be used:
		  d or D indicate the default font (the	font initially
		  used when xterm was started),	1 through 6 indicate
		  the fonts sp
