KOI8RXTERM(1) X Window System 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 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 /usr/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.

AUTHORS

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.
