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), _x_t_e_r_m 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. EEEEMMMMUUUULLLLAAAATTTTIIIIOOOONNNNSSSS 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. _T_e_r_m_c_a_p(5) entries that work with _x_t_e_r_m include ``xterm,'' ``vt102,'' ``vt100'' and ``ansi,'' and _x_t_e_r_m 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 _x_t_e_r_m features may be modified under program control through a set of escape sequences different from the standard VT102 escape sequences. (See the _X_t_e_r_m _C_o_n_t_r_o_l _S_e_q_u_e_n_c_e_s 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 Page 1 (printed 4/30/98) XXXXTTTTEEEERRRRMMMM((((1111)))) XXXX VVVVeeeerrrrssssiiiioooonnnn 11111111 ((((RRRReeeelllleeeeaaaasssseeee 6666....3333)))) XXXXTTTTEEEERRRRMMMM((((1111)))) recorded internally by _x_t_e_r_m and may be written to a file by sending the COPY escape sequence (or through the TTTTeeeekkkkttttrrrroooonnnniiiixxxx menu; see below). The name of the file will be ``CCCCOOOOPPPPYYYY_y_y_y_y----_M_M----_d_d...._h_h::::_m_m::::_s_s'', where _y_y_y_y, _M_M, _d_d, _h_h, _m_m and _s_s are the year, month, day, hour, minute and second when the COPY was performed (the file is created in the directory _x_t_e_r_m is started in, or the home directory for a login _x_t_e_r_m). OOOOTTTTHHHHEEEERRRR FFFFEEEEAAAATTTTUUUURRRREEEESSSS _X_t_e_r_m 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 _t_e_r_m_c_a_p(5) entry for _x_t_e_r_m allows the visual editor _v_i(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 _X_t_e_r_m _C_o_n_t_r_o_l _S_e_q_u_e_n_c_e_s for details. OOOOPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNNSSSS The _x_t_e_r_m 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): ----hhhheeeellllpppp This causes _x_t_e_r_m to print out a verbose message describing its options. ----111133332222 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 _x_t_e_r_m window will resize appropriately. ----aaaahhhh This option indicates that _x_t_e_r_m should always highlight the text cursor. By default, _x_t_e_r_m will display a hollow text cursor whenever the focus is lost or the pointer leaves the window. ++++aaaahhhh This option indicates that _x_t_e_r_m should do text cursor highlighting based on focus.

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. ----ffffiiii This option sets the font for active icons if that feature was compiled in to xterm. ----iiiimmmm Turn on the uuuusssseeeeIIIInnnnsssseeeerrrrttttMMMMooooddddeeee resource. ++++iiiimmmm Turn off the uuuusssseeeeIIIInnnnsssseeeerrrrttttMMMMooooddddeeee resource. ----jjjj This option indicates that _x_t_e_r_m should do jump scrolling. Normally, text is scrolled one line at a time; this option allows _x_t_e_r_m to move multiple lines at a time so that it doesn't fall as far behind. Its use is strongly recommended since it make _x_t_e_r_m 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. ++++jjjj This option indicates that _x_t_e_r_m should not do jump scrolling. ----llllssss This option indicates that the shell that is started in the _x_t_e_r_m 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). ++++llllssss This option indicates that the shell that is started should not be a login shell (i.e. it will be a normal ``subshell''). ----mmmmbbbb This option indicates that _x_t_e_r_m should ring a margin bell when the user types near the right end of a line.

The default is to use the foreground color. ----nnnnbbbb _n_u_m_b_e_r 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. ----rrrrwwww 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. ++++rrrrwwww This option indicates that reverse-wraparound should not be allowed. ----aaaawwww 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. ++++aaaawwww This option indicates that auto-wraparound should not be allowed. ----ssss This option indicates that _x_t_e_r_m may scroll asynchronously, meaning that the screen does not have to be kept completely up to date while scrolling. This allows _x_t_e_r_m to run faster when network latencies are very high and is typically useful when running across a very large internet or many gateways. ++++ssss This option indicates that _x_t_e_r_m should scroll synchronously. ----ssssbbbb 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. ++++ssssbbbb This option indicates that a scrollbar should not be displayed.

This option can be turned on and off from the ``VT Options'' menu. ++++ssssiiii This option indicates that output to a window should cause it to scroll to the bottom. ----sssskkkk 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. ++++sssskkkk This option indicates that pressing a key while using the scrollbar should not cause the window to be repositioned. ----ssssllll _n_u_m_b_e_r This option specifies the number of lines to save that have been scrolled off the top of the screen. The default is 64. ----tttt This option indicates that _x_t_e_r_m should start in Tektronix mode, rather than in VT102 mode. Switching between the two windows is done using the ``Options'' menus. ++++tttt This option indicates that _x_t_e_r_m should start in VT102 mode. ----ttttmmmm _s_t_r_i_n_g This option specifies a series of terminal setting keywords followed by the characters that should be bound to those functions, similar to the _s_t_t_y 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. ----ttttnnnn _n_a_m_e This option specifies the name of the terminal type to be set in the TERM environment variable. This terminal type must exist in the _t_e_r_m_c_a_p(_5) database and should have _l_i# and _c_o# entries.

Instead of ringing the terminal bell whenever a Control-G is received, the window will be flashed. ++++vvvvbbbb This option indicates that a visual bell should not be used. ----wwwwffff This option indicates that _x_t_e_r_m 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. ++++wwwwffff This option indicates that _x_t_e_r_m show not wait before starting the subprocess. ----CCCC 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 _x_d_m 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. ----SSSS_c_c_n 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 _x_t_e_r_m 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. %%%%_g_e_o_m This option specifies the preferred size and position of the Tektronix window. It is shorthand for specifying the ``*_t_e_k_G_e_o_m_e_t_r_y'' resource. ####_g_e_o_m This option specifies the preferred position of the Page 7 (printed 4/30/98) XXXXTTTTEEEERRRRMMMM((((1111)))) XXXX VVVVeeeerrrrssssiiiioooonnnn 11111111 ((((RRRReeeelllleeeeaaaasssseeee 6666....3333)))) XXXXTTTTEEEERRRRMMMM((((1111)))) icon window.

PPPPOOOOIIIINNNNTTTTEEEERRRR UUUUSSSSAAAAGGGGEEEE Once the VT102 window is created, _x_t_e_r_m 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 AAAACCCCTTTTIIIIOOOONNNNSSSS 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, _x_t_e_r_m 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, _x_t_e_r_m assumes you really Page 21 (printed 4/30/98) XXXXTTTTEEEERRRRMMMM((((1111)))) XXXX VVVVeeeerrrrssssiiiioooonnnn 11111111 ((((RRRReeeelllleeeeaaaasssseeee 6666....3333)))) XXXXTTTTEEEERRRRMMMM((((1111)))) 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 _t_t_y(4) for details). MMMMEEEENNNNUUUUSSSS _X_t_e_r_m has four menus, named _m_a_i_n_M_e_n_u, _v_t_M_e_n_u, _f_o_n_t_M_e_n_u, and _t_e_k_M_e_n_u. 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 4/30/98) XXXXTTTTEEEERRRRMMMM((((1111)))) XXXX VVVVeeeerrrrssssiiiioooonnnn 11111111 ((((RRRReeeelllleeeeaaaasssseeee 6666....3333)))) XXXXTTTTEEEERRRRMMMM((((1111)))) 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 xxxxtttteeeerrrrmmmm menu pops up when the ``control'' key and pointer button one are pressed in a window. The _m_a_i_n_M_e_n_u contains items that apply to both the VT102 and Tektronix windows. The SSSSeeeeccccuuuurrrreeee KKKKeeeeyyyybbbbooooaaaarrrrdddd mode is be used when typing in passwords or other sensitive data in an unsecure environment; see SSSSEEEECCCCUUUURRRRIIIITTTTYYYY below. Notable entries in the command section of the menu are the CCCCoooonnnnttttiiiinnnnuuuueeee, SSSSuuuussssppppeeeennnndddd, IIIInnnntttteeeerrrrrrrruuuupppptttt, HHHHaaaannnngggguuuupppp, TTTTeeeerrrrmmmmiiiinnnnaaaatttteeee and KKKKiiiillllllll which sends the SIGCONT, SIGTSTP, SIGINT, SIGHUP, SIGTERM and SIGKILL signals, respectively, to the process group of the process running under _x_t_e_r_m (usually the shell). The CCCCoooonnnnttttiiiinnnnuuuueeee function is especially useful if the user has accidentally typed CTRL-Z, suspending the process. The _v_t_M_e_n_u 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 _x_t_e_r_m has finished processing the command line options. The _f_o_n_t_M_e_n_u 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 _X_t_e_r_m _C_o_n_t_r_o_l _S_e_q_u_e_n_c_e_s) and the current selection as a font name (if the PRIMARY selection is owned). The _t_e_k_M_e_n_u 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 PPPPAAAAGGGGEEEE entry in the command section clears the Tektronix window. SSSSEEEECCCCUUUURRRRIIIITTTTYYYY X environments differ in their security consciousness. Most servers, run under _x_d_m, 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 _x_h_o_s_t(_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 4/30/98) XXXXTTTTEEEERRRRMMMM((((1111)))) XXXX VVVVeeeerrrrssssiiiioooonnnn 11111111 ((((RRRReeeelllleeeeaaaasssseeee 6666....3333)))) XXXXTTTTEEEERRRRMMMM((((1111)))) 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 _x_t_e_r_m. The xxxxtttteeeerrrrmmmm menu (see MMMMEEEENNNNUUUUSSSS above) contains a SSSSeeeeccccuuuurrrreeee KKKKeeeeyyyybbbbooooaaaarrrrdddd entry which, when enabled, ensures that all keyboard input is directed _o_n_l_y to _x_t_e_r_m (using the GrabKeyboard protocol request). When an application prompts you for a password (or other sensitive data), you can enable SSSSeeeeccccuuuurrrreeee KKKKeeeeyyyybbbbooooaaaarrrrdddd using the menu, type in the data, and then disable SSSSeeeeccccuuuurrrreeee KKKKeeeeyyyybbbbooooaaaarrrrdddd using the menu again. Only one X client at a time can secure the keyboard, so when you attempt to enable SSSSeeeeccccuuuurrrreeee KKKKeeeeyyyybbbbooooaaaarrrrdddd it may fail. In this case, the bell will sound. If the SSSSeeeeccccuuuurrrreeee KKKKeeeeyyyybbbbooooaaaarrrrdddd succeeds, the foreground and background colors will be exchanged (as if you selected the RRRReeeevvvveeeerrrrsssseeee VVVViiiiddddeeeeoooo entry in the MMMMooooddddeeeessss menu); they will be exchanged again when you exit secure mode. If the colors do _n_o_t switch, then you should be _v_e_r_y 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 _b_e_f_o_r_e 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. SSSSeeeeccccuuuurrrreeee KKKKeeeeyyyybbbbooooaaaarrrrdddd 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 SSSSeeeeccccuuuurrrreeee KKKKeeeeyyyybbbbooooaaaarrrrdddd 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. CCCCHHHHAAAARRRRAAAACCCCTTTTEEEERRRR CCCCLLLLAAAASSSSSSSSEEEESSSS 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 _c_h_a_r_C_l_a_s_s (class _C_h_a_r_C_l_a_s_s) resource. This resource is a series of comma-separated of _r_a_n_g_e:_v_a_l_u_e pairs.

This is not a bug in _x_t_e_r_m; it is a bug in the pseudo terminal driver of those systems. _x_t_e_r_m feeds large pastes to the pty only as fast as the pty will accept data, but some pty drivers do not return enough information to know if the write has succeeded. Many of the options are not resettable after _x_t_e_r_m starts. Only fixed-width, character-cell fonts are supported. This program still needs to be rewritten. It should be split into very modular sections, with the various emulators being completely separate widgets that don't know about each other. Ideally, you'd like to be able to pick and choose emulator widgets and stick them into a single control widget. There needs to be a dialog box to allow entry of the Tek COPY file name.
