koi8rxterm - X terminal emulator for KOI8-R environments
koi8rxterm [
xterm-options ]
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
xterm manual page for
more information on
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
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.
- LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LANG
- The values of these variables are checked, in order, to
determine the character set used by the current locale.
koi8rxterm was written by Branden Robinson and is very heavily based on
uxterm, by Thomas Dickey. The assistance of Jurij Smakov was invaluable
in sanity-checking its operation.
