22.TH koi8rxterm 1 "2004-12-19" "Debian Project"
23.SH NAME
24koi8rxterm \- X terminal emulator for KOI8-R environments
25.SH SYNOPSIS
26.B koi8rxterm
27[
28.I xterm-options
29]
30.SH DESCRIPTION
31.B koi8rxterm
32is a wrapper around the
33.BR xterm(1)
34program that invokes the latter program with the \(oqKOI8RXTerm\(cq X
35resource class set.
36All arguments to
37.B koi8rxterm
38are passed to
39.B xterm
40without processing; the
41.B \-class
42and
43.B \-k8
44options should not be specified because they are used by the wrapper.
45See the
46.BR xterm
47manual page for more information on
48.IR xterm-options .
49.PP
50The environment's locale settings (see \(lqENVIRONMENT\(rq below) are
51used to discern the locale's character set.
52If no current locale can be determined, the locale \(oqru_RU.KOI8-R\(cq
53(the Russian language as used in the territory of Russia, with the KOI8-R
54character set) is assumed.
55The
56.BR locale(1)
57utility is used to determine whether the system supports the selected
58locale.
59If it does not,
60.B koi8rxterm
61will exit with an error and report the output of
62.BR locale .
63.PP
64.B Note: koi8rxterm
65may produce unexpected results if the current locale is set to one in which
66the KOI8-R character encoding is not supported, or if fonts using that
67encoding are not available.
68In the Debian system, the \(oqxfonts\-cyrillic\(cq package provides the
69fonts that
70.B koi8rxterm
71uses by default.
72To change the fonts
73.B koi8rxterm
74uses, edit the
75.I __apploaddir__/KOI8RXTerm
76file.
77.PP
78A similar wrapper,
79.BR uxterm(1),
80is available for Unicode UTF-8 environments.
81.SH ENVIRONMENT
82.TP
83.B LC_ALL\fR, \fBLC_CTYPE\fR, \fBLANG
84The values of these variables are checked, in order, to determine the
85character set used by the current locale.
86.SH AUTHOR
87.B koi8rxterm
88was written by Branden Robinson and is very heavily based on
89.BR uxterm ,
90by Thomas Dickey.
91The assistance of Jurij Smakov was invaluable in sanity-checking its
92operation.
