<h2>X Version 11</h2>
<h2>09 August 01</h2>

    

    
<h2>NAME</h2>
    aterm (Afterstep XVT) - a VT102 emulator for the X window system
<p><br>
<h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
    
<p><br><strong>aterm</strong> [options] [-e command [ args ]]
<p><br>
<h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
    
<p><br><strong>aterm</strong>, version <strong>0.4.1</strong>, is a colour vt102 terminal emulator,
based on <em>rxvt</em> 2.4.8 with Alfredo Kojima's additions of fast transparency,
intended as an <em>xterm</em>(1) replacement for users who do not require
features such as Tektronix 4014 emulation and toolkit-style configurability.
As a result, <strong>aterm</strong> uses much less swap space -- a significant
advantage on a machine serving many X sessions.
<p><br>It was created with <strong>AfterStep</strong> Window Manger users in mind, but is not tied 
to any libraries, and can be used anywhere.

<h2>OPTIONS</h2>
    
<p><br>The <strong>aterm</strong> options (mostly a subset of <em>xterm</em>'s) are listed below.
In keeping with the smaller-is-better philosophy, options may be eliminated
or default values chosen at compile-time, so options and defaults listed
may not accurately reflect the version installed on your system.
<p><br>Note that <strong>aterm</strong> permits the resource name to be used as a long-option
(--/++ option) so the potential command-line options are far greater than
those listed.
For example: `aterm --loginShell --color1 Orange'.
<p><br><ul>
    <li><strong><strong>-help</strong>, <strong>--help</strong></strong>
	Print out a message describing available options.
    <li><strong><strong>-version</strong>, <strong>--version</strong></strong>
	Print out a version with/without list of available options.
    <li><strong><strong>-display</strong> <em>displayname</em></strong>
	Attempt to open a window on the named X display (<strong>-d</strong> still
	respected).  In the absence of this option, the display specified
	by the <strong>DISPLAY</strong> environment variable is used.
    <li><strong><strong>-geometry</strong> <em>geom</em></strong>
	Window geometry (-g still respected);
        resource <strong>geometry</strong>.
    <li><strong><strong>-rv</strong>|<strong>+rv</strong></strong>
	Turn on/off simulated reverse video;
        resource <strong>reverseVideo</strong>.
    <li><strong><strong>-bg</strong> <em>colour</em></strong>
	Window background colour;
        resource <strong>background</strong>.
    <li><strong><strong>-fg</strong> <em>colour</em></strong>
	Window foreground colour;
	resource <strong>foreground</strong>.
    <li><strong><strong>-pixmap:</strong> <em>file[;geom]</em></strong>
	Specify image file for the background and also optionally specify 
	geometry of the image to be cut out of original image, to be used
	as background, with a geometry string.  Note you may need to add 
	quotes to avoid special shell interpretation of the `;' in the 
	command-line;
	resource <strong>backgroundPixmap</strong>.
    <li><strong><strong>-mst:</strong> <em>name</em></strong>
	Specify the name of the Afterstep MyStyle to be used as the base of
	aterm's look. ForeColor, BackColor, Font, BackPixmap (all texture 
	options) will be used from MyStyle definition, unless some other 
	command line option is specifyed for the same setting. 
	For example -fn will override MyStyle Font. This is available only 
	if used with AfterStep 1.9.28 or later and if compiled with AfterStep 
	libraries support ( --enable-afterstep-lib).
	resource <strong>MyStyle</strong>.
    <li><strong><strong>-tr</strong>|<strong>+tr</strong></strong>
	Turn on/off pseudo transparency mode. In this mode <strong>aterm</strong>
	will use part of root background as it's own background, emulating
	see-through effect;
	resource <strong>transparent</strong>.
    <li><strong><strong>-trsb</strong>|<strong>+trsb</strong></strong>
	Turn on/off pseudo transparent scrollbar. Works the same as -tr;
	resource <strong>transpscrollbar</strong>.
    <li><strong><strong>-tint</strong> <em>color</em></strong>
	Turn on pseudo transparency background tinting. Tinting can be done
	fast and slow way. In fast way it will be done by combining of background
	color with tinting color using logical function. This function defaults
	to AND, and it can be changed using <strong>-tinttype</strong> option - see below.
	In general solid colors like Blue, Red, Green, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow 
	are good, but you should experiment with it for each background you have.
	True tinting is more memory and CPU hungry - tinted copy of background 
	image will be created every time you move/resize window. It alows for more 
	smooth tinting thou.
	You need to build it with <strong>--enable-transparency=yes</strong> or 
	<strong>--enable-background-imageyes</strong> option, to be able to use this feature.
	resource <strong>tinting</strong>.	
    <li><strong><strong>-sh</strong> <em>amount</em></strong>
	This option allows for darkening/lightening of the background image
	<em>amount</em> is the %value of the desired brightness, where 100 is the 
	original.
	if <em>amount</em> is less then 100 - image will be darkened.
	if <em>amount</em> is less then 0 or more then 100 - image will be lightened.
	Lightening can cause some strange looking effects if applied on bright image.
	This option causes aterm to create shaded/lightened copy of the background - 
	it's more memory cosuming as the result. It does not make much difference,
	though, if applied on non transparent background image. 
	resource <strong>shading</strong>.	
    <li><strong><strong>-fade</strong> <em>amount</em></strong>
	This option allows for darkening/lightening of colors when aterm is 
	loosing focus.
	<em>amount</em> is the %value of the desired brightness, where 100 is the 
	original.
	if <em>amount</em> is less then 100 - colors will be darkened.
	if <em>amount</em> is less then 0 or more then 100 - colors will be lightened.
	Lightening can cause some strange looking effects if applied on bright colors.
	This option causes aterm to use more colors, as the result it is disabled by
	default. Use --enable-fading ./configure option to enable it. 
	resource <strong>fading</strong>.	
    <li><strong><strong>-bgtype</strong> <em>type</em></strong>
        Specify type of the transformation to be performed on background 
	image. Possible types are :
	<strong>tile</strong> - plain vanilla tiling of the image.
	<strong>scale</strong> - original image will be scaled to the aterm's size, every
	  time you resize window.
	<strong>scalev</strong> - original image will be scaled to the aterm's height only,
	  every time you resize window.
	<strong>scaleh</strong> - original image will be scaled to the aterm's width only,
	  every time you resize window.
	<strong>center</strong> - original image will be centered in aterm's window.
	<strong>notile</strong> - background color will be padded to image's right/bottom 
	  to make it the same size as window is. 
	<strong>notileh</strong> - background color will be padded to image's right 
	  to make it the same width as window is. 
	<strong>notilev</strong> - background color will be padded to image's bottom 
	  to make it the same height as window is. 	
	<strong>cut</strong> - aterm background will be cut out of the source image,
	  as if this source image was tiled across the root window. The
	  portion of the image that lies underneath of window will be used. 	
	If AfterStep Pager, asetroot or Esetroot where used to set the root 
	image, then this option can be used in conjunction with -tr option.
	In this case it will do mentioned transformations to the root pixmap.
	and use it as aterm's background.  
	resource <strong>backgroundType</strong>.
    <li><strong><strong>-txttype</strong> <em>type</em></strong>
	Allows you to specify logical function to be used when displaying 
	text. That will cause aterm to logically combine text with
	background pixels. That only works with transparent background 
	and background image. Possible values are :
	<em>and</em>, <em>andReverse</em>, <em>andInverted</em>, <em>xor</em>, <em>or</em>, <em>nor</em>,
	<em>invert</em>, <em>equiv</em>, <em>invert</em>, <em>orReverse</em>, <em>orInverted</em>, 
	<em>nand</em>;
	resource <strong>textType</strong>.
    <li><strong><strong>-tinttype</strong> <em>type</em></strong>
	Allows you to specify logical function to be used when tinting 
	transparent background. That will cause aterm to logically combine
	text with background pixels. NOTE: If shading option is used, 
	or background image is specifyed - <em>true</em> type will always be used.
	That works with bpth transparent background and background image. 
	Possible values are :

<h2>RESOURCES (available also as long-options)</h2>
    
<p><br><strong>aterm</strong> accepts application defaults set in XAPPLOADDIR/aterm (compile-time
defined: usually <strong>/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/aterm</strong>) and resources set in
<strong>~/.Xdefaults</strong> or <strong>~/.Xresources</strong>.  Note that when reading X resources,
<strong>aterm</strong> recognizes two class names: <strong>XTerm</strong> and <strong>Aterm</strong>.  The class name
<strong>XTerm</strong> allows resources common to both <strong>aterm</strong> and <em>xterm</em> to be easily
configured, while the class name <strong>Aterm</strong> allows resources unique to <strong>aterm</strong>,
notably colours and key-handling, to be shared between different <strong>aterm</strong>
configurations.  If no resources are specified, suitable defaults will be
used.  Command-line arguments can be used to override resource settings.  The
following resources are allowed:
<p><br><ul>
    <li><strong><strong>geometry:</strong> <em>geom</em></strong>
	Create the window with the specified X window geometry [default
	80x24];
	option <strong>-geometry</strong>.

	<strong>Print</strong> to initiate a screen dump to the printer and <strong>Ctrl-Print</strong>
	or <strong>Shift-Print</strong> to include the scrollback as well.
    <li><strong><strong>scrollBar:</strong> <em>boolean</em></strong>
	<strong>True</strong>: enable the scrollbar [default];
	option <strong>-sb</strong>.
	<strong>False</strong>: disable the scrollbar;
	option <strong>+sb</strong>.
	Note that the scrollbar type (with/without arrows) is compile-time
	selected.
    <li><strong><strong>smallfont_key:</strong> <em>keysym</em></strong>
	If enabled, use <strong>Alt-</strong><em>keysym</em> to toggle to a smaller font
	[default <strong>Alt-&lt;</strong>]
    <li><strong><strong>bigfont_key:</strong> <em>keysym</em></strong>
	If enabled, use <strong>Alt-</strong><em>keysym</em> to toggle to a bigger font
	[default <strong>Alt-&gt;</strong>]
    <li><strong><strong>saveLines:</strong> <em>number</em></strong>
	Save <em>number</em> lines in the scrollback buffer [default 64];
	option <strong>-sl</strong>.
    <li><strong><strong>termName:</strong> <em>termname</em></strong>
	Specifies the terminal type name to be set in the <strong>TERM</strong>
	environment variable;
	option <strong>-tn</strong>.
    <li><strong><strong>meta8:</strong> <em>boolean</em></strong>
	<strong>True</strong>: handle Meta (Alt) + keypress to set the 8th bit.
	<strong>False</strong>: handle Meta (Alt) + keypress as an escape prefix [default].
    <li><strong><strong>modifier:</strong> <em>string</em></strong>
	Set the Meta key to be enabled by modifier <strong>Mod1</strong>, <strong>Mod2</strong>, <strong>Mod3</strong>,
	<strong>Mod4</strong> or <strong>Mod5</strong>.
    <li><strong><strong>backspacekey:</strong> <em>string</em></strong>
	The string to send when the backspace key is pressed.  If set to
	<strong>DEC</strong> or unset it will send <strong>Delete</strong> (code 127) or, if shifted,
	<strong>Backspace</strong> (code 8) - which can be reversed with the appropriate
	DEC private mode escape sequence.
    <li><strong><strong>deletekey:</strong> <em>string</em></strong>
	The string to send when the delete key (not the keypad delete key) is
	pressed.  If unset it will send the sequence traditionally associated
	with the <strong>Execute</strong> key.
    <li><strong><strong>cutchars:</strong> <em>string</em></strong>
	The characters used as delimiters for double-click word selection. 
	The built-in default: <br><strong>BACKSLASH `"'&amp;()*,;&lt;=&gt;?@[]{|}</strong>
    <li><strong><strong>keysym.</strong><em>sym</em>: <em>string</em></strong>
	Associate <em>string</em> with keysym <em>sym</em> (<strong>0xFF00 - 0xFFFF</strong>).  It
	may contain escape values (\a: bell, \b: backspace, \e, \E: escape,
	\n: newline, \r: return, \t: tab, \000: octal number) or control
	characters (^?: delete, ^@: null, ^A ...) and may enclosed with
	double quotes so that it can start or end with whitespace.  The
	intervening resource name <strong>keysym.</strong> cannot be omitted.  This
	resource is only available when compiled with KEYSYM_RESOURCE.

<h2>THE SCROLLBAR</h2>
    
<p><br>Lines of text that scroll off the top of the <strong>aterm</strong> window (resource:
<strong>saveLines</strong>) and can be scrolled back using the scrollbar or by keystrokes. 
The normal <strong>aterm</strong> scrollbar has arrows and its behaviour is fairly
intuitive.  The <strong>xterm-scrollbar</strong> is without arrows and its behaviour
mimics that of <em>xterm</em>. When build with --enable-next-scroll <strong>aterm</strong> 
will have NeXT-ish scrollbars. They look nicer and easier in use, but have
slightly larger size. Their look and size can be tweaked at compile time 
by modifying parameters in rxvt.h.
<p><br>Scroll down with <strong>Button1</strong> (<strong>xterm-scrollbar</strong>) or <strong>Shift-Next</strong>.
Scroll up with <strong>Button3</strong> (<strong>xterm-scrollbar</strong>) or <strong>Shift-Prior</strong>.
Continuous scroll with <strong>Button2</strong>.

.YODLTAGSTART. label rxvt-mousereporting.yo .YODLTAGEND.
    

<h2>MOUSE REPORTING</h2>
    
<p><br>To temporarily override mouse reporting, for either the scrollbar or the
normal text selection/insertion, hold either the Shift or the Meta (Alt) key
while performing the desired mouse action.
<p><br>If mouse reporting mode is active, the normal scrollbar actions are disabled
-- on the assumption that we are using a fullscreen application.
Instead, pressing Button1 and Button3 sends
<strong>ESC[6~</strong> (Next) and <strong>ESC[5~</strong> (Prior), respectively.
Similarly, clicking on the up and down arrows sends <strong>ESC[A</strong> (Up) and
<strong>ESC[B</strong> (Down), respectively.

.YODLTAGSTART. label aterm-textselection.yo .YODLTAGEND.
    

<h2>TEXT SELECTION AND INSERTION</h2>
    
<p><br>The behaviour of text selection and insertion mechanism is similar to
<em>xterm</em>(1).
<p><br><ul>
    <li><strong><strong>Selection</strong>:</strong>
	Left click at the beginning of the region, drag to the end of the
	region and release; Right click to extend the marked region;
	Left double-click to select a word; Left triple-click to select
	the entire line.
<p><br><li><strong><strong>Insertion</strong>:</strong>
	Pressing and releasing the Middle mouse button (or <strong>Shift-Insert</strong>)
	in an <strong>aterm</strong> window causes the current text selection to be inserted
	as if it had been typed on the keyboard.
</ul>

.YODLTAGSTART. label rxvt-fonts.yo .YODLTAGEND.
    

<h2>CHANGING FONTS</h2>
    
<p><br>You can change fonts on-the-fly, which is to say cycle through the default
font and others of various sizes, by using <strong>Shift-KP_Add</strong> and
<strong>Shift-KP_Subtract</strong>.  Or, alternatively (if enabled) with
<strong>Alt-&gt;</strong> and <strong>Alt-&lt;</strong>, where the actual key
can be selected using resources <strong>smallfont_key</strong>/<strong>bigfont_key</strong>.

.YODLTAGSTART. label aterm-login.yo .YODLTAGEND.
    

<h2>LOGIN STAMP</h2>
    
<p><br><strong>aterm</strong> tries to write an entry into the <em>utmp</em>(5) file so that it can be
seen via the <em>who(1)</em> command, and can accept messages.  To allow this
feature, <strong>aterm</strong> must be installed setuid root on some systems.

.YODLTAGSTART. label aterm-colours.yo .YODLTAGEND.
    

<h2>COLORS AND GRAPHICS</h2>
    
<p><br>If graphics support was enabled at compile-time, <strong>aterm</strong> can be queried
with ANSI escape sequences and can address individual pixels instead of
text characters.  Note the graphics support is still considered beta code.
<p><br>In addition to the default foreground and background colours, <strong>aterm</strong>
can display up to 16 colours (8 ANSI colours plus high-intensity bold/blink
versions of the same).
Here is a list of the colours with their <strong>rgb.txt</strong> names.
<p><br><table>
<tr> 
<td> <strong>color0</strong> </td> 
<td> (black) </td> 
<td> = Black <br></td> 
 
</tr>
<tr> 
<td> <strong>color1</strong> </td> 
<td> (red) </td> 
<td> = Red3 <br></td> 
 
</tr>
<tr> 
<td> <strong>color2</strong> </td> 
<td> (green) </td> 
<td> = Green3 <br></td> 
 
</tr>
<tr> 
<td> <strong>color3</strong> </td> 
<td> (yellow) </td> 
<td> = Yellow3 <br></td> 
 
</tr>
<tr> 
<td> <strong>color4</strong> </td> 
<td> (blue) </td> 
<td> = Blue3 <br></td> 
 
</tr>
<tr> 
<td> <strong>color5</strong> </td> 
<td> (magenta) </td> 
<td> = Magenta3 <br></td> 
 
</tr>
<tr> 
<td> <strong>color6</strong> </td> 
<td> (cyan) </td> 
<td> = Cyan3 <br></td> 
 
</tr>
<tr> 
<td> <strong>color7</strong> </td> 
<td> (white) </td> 
<td> = AntiqueWhite <br></td> 
 
</tr>
<tr> 
<td> <strong>color8</strong> </td> 
<td> (bright black) </td> 
<td> = Grey25 <br></td> 
 
</tr>
<tr> 
<td> <strong>color9</strong> </td> 
<td> (bright red) </td> 
<td> = Red <br></td> 
 
</tr>
<tr> 
<td> <strong>color10</strong> </td> 
<td> (bright green) </td> 
<td> = Green <br></td> 
 
</tr>
<tr> 
<td> <strong>color11</strong> </td> 
<td> (bright yellow) </td> 
<td> = Yellow <br></td> 
 
</tr>
<tr> 
<td> <strong>color12</strong> </td> 
<td> (bright blue) </td> 
<td> = Blue <br></td> 
 
</tr>
<tr> 
<td> <strong>color13</strong> </td> 
<td> (bright magenta) </td> 
<td> = Magenta <br></td> 
 
</tr>
<tr> 
<td> <strong>color14</strong> </td> 
<td> (bright cyan) </td> 
<td> = Cyan <br></td> 
 
</tr>
<tr> 
<td> <strong>color15</strong> </td> 
<td> (bright white) </td> 
<td> = White <br></td> 
 
</tr>
<tr> 
<td> <strong>foreground</strong> </td> 
<td>  </td> 
<td> = Black <br></td> 
 
</tr>
<tr> 
<td> <strong>background</strong> </td> 
<td>  </td> 
<td> = White <br></td> 
 
</tr>
</table>  
<p><br>It is also possible to specify the colour values of <strong>foreground</strong>,
<strong>background</strong>, <strong>cursorColor</strong>, <strong>cursorColor2</strong>, <strong>colorBD</strong>, <strong>colorUL</strong>
as a number 0-15, as a convenient shorthand to reference the colour name of
color0-color15.
<p><br>Note that <strong>-rv</strong> (<strong>"reverseVideo: True"</strong>) simulates reverse video by
always swapping the foreground/background colours.  This is in contrast to
<em>xterm</em>(1) where the colours are only swapped if they have not otherwise been
specified.
For example,
<p><br><ul>
   <li><strong><strong>aterm -fg Black -bg White -rv</strong></strong>
	would yield White on Black, while on <em>xterm</em>(1) it would yield
	Black on White.
</ul>

<h2>ENVIRONMENT</h2>
    
<p><br><strong>aterm</strong> sets the environment variables <strong>TERM</strong>, <strong>COLORTERM</strong> and
<strong>COLORFGBG</strong>.  The environment variable <strong>WINDOWID</strong> is set to the X window
id number of the <strong>aterm</strong> window and it also uses and sets the environment
variable <strong>DISPLAY</strong> to specify which display terminal to use.  <strong>aterm</strong> uses
the environment variables <strong>ATERMPATH</strong>, then <strong>RXVTPATH</strong> and finally <strong>PATH</strong>
to find XPM files.
