NAME
koi8rxterm - X terminal emulator for KOI8-R environments
SYNOPSIS
koi8rxterm
[
xterm-options
]
DESCRIPTION
koi8rxterm
is a wrapper around the
xterm(1)
program that invokes the latter program with the KOI8RXTerm X
resource class set.
All arguments to
koi8rxterm
are passed to
xterm
without processing; the
-class
and
-k8
options should not be specified because they are used by the wrapper.
See the
R xterm
manual page for more information on
R xterm-options .
The environment's locale settings (see ENVIRONMENT below) are
used to discern the locale's character set.
If no current locale can be determined, the locale ru_RU.KOI8-R
(the Russian language as used in the territory of Russia, with the KOI8-R
character set) is assumed.
The
locale(1)
utility is used to determine whether the system supports the selected
locale.
If it does not,
koi8rxterm
will exit with an error and report the output of
R locale .
Note: koi8rxterm
may produce unexpected results if the current locale is set to one in which
the KOI8-R character encoding is not supported, or if fonts using that
encoding are not available.
In the Debian system, the xfonts-cyrillic package provides the
fonts that
koi8rxterm
uses by default.
To change the fonts
koi8rxterm
uses, edit the
/etc/X11/app-defaults/KOI8RXTerm
file.
A similar wrapper,
uxterm(1),
is available for Unicode UTF-8 environments.
ENVIRONMENT
LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LANG
The values of these variables are checked, in order, to determine the
character set used by the current locale.
AUTHOR
koi8rxterm
was written by Branden Robinson and is very heavily based on
R uxterm ,
by Thomas Dickey.
The assistance of Jurij Smakov was invaluable in sanity-checking its
operation.
