koi8rxterm(1)                                                                                  koi8rxterm(1)



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  process-ing; processing;
       ing;  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  charac-ter character
       ter  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 /usr/X11/lib/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  uxterm,  by  Thomas  Dickey.
       The assistance of Jurij Smakov was invaluable in sanity-checking its operation.
