NAME
koi8rxterm - X terminal emulator for KOI8-R environments
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/koi8rxterm [ xterm-options ]
DESCRIPTION
koi8rxterm is a wrapper around the xterm(1) program that
invokes the latter program with the KOI8RXTerm X resourceclass 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 thexterm 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 nocurrent 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 theselected 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, thexfonts-cyrillic package provides the fonts that koi8rxterm
uses by default. To change the fonts koi8rxterm uses, edit
the /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/KOI8RXTerm file.
A similar wrapper, uxterm(1), is available for Unicode UTF-8
environments. ENVIRONMENTLC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LANG
The values of these variables are checked, in order, to determine the character set used by the current locale. AUTHORkoi8rxterm was written by Branden Robinson and is very
heavily based on uxterm, by Thomas Dickey. The assistanceof Jurij Smakov was invaluable in sanity-checking its opera-
tion.SEE ALSO
