NAME

       xterm - terminal emulator for X

SYNOPSIS

       xterm [-toolkitoption ...] [-option ...] [shell]

DESCRIPTION

       The xterm program is a terminal emulator for the X Window System.  It provides DEC
       VT102/VT220 and selected features from higher-level terminals such as VT320/VT420/VT520
       (VTxxx).  It also provides Tektronix 4014 emulation for programs that cannot 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), xterm will
       use the facilities to notify programs running in the window whenever it is resized.

       The VTxxx 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 VTxxx window, and the Tek Options menu in the 4014 window.

EMULATIONS

       Xterm provides usable emulations of related DEC terminals:

       •   VT52 emulation is complete.

       •   VT102 emulation is fairly complete, but does not support autorepeat (because that
           would affect the keyboard used by other X clients).

           Double-size characters are displayed properly if your font server supports scalable
           bitmap fonts.

       •   VT220 emulation does not support soft fonts, it is otherwise complete.

       •   VT420 emulation (the default) supports controls for manipulating rectangles of
           characters as well as left/right margins.

           Xterm does not support some other features which are not suitable for emulation, e.g.,
           two-sessions.

       Terminal database (terminfo (5) or termcap (5)) entries that work with xterm include

              an optional platform-specific entry (“xterm”),
              “xterm”,
              “vt102”,
              “vt100”,
              “ansi” and
              “dumb”

       Xterm automatically searches the terminal database in this order for these entries and
       then sets the “TERM” variable (and the “TERMCAP” environment variable on a few older
       systems).  The alternatives after “xterm” are very old, from the late 1980s.

       VT100 and VT102 emulations are commonly equated, though they actually differ.  The VT102
       provided controls for inserting and deleting lines.

       Similarly, “ansi” and “vt100” are often equated.  These are not really the same.  For
       instance, they use different controls for scrolling (but xterm supports both).  These
       features differ in an “ansi” terminal description from xterm:

       acsc
               Pseudo-graphics (line-drawing) uses a different mapping.

       xenl
               Xterm wraps text at the right margin using the VT100 “newline glitch” behavior.

       Because of the wrapping behavior, you would occasionally have to repaint the screen when
       using a text editor with the “ansi” description.

       You may also use descriptions corresponding to the various supported emulations such as
       “vt220” or  “vt420”, but should set the terminal emulation level with the decTerminalID
       resource.

       On most systems, xterm will use the terminfo database.  Some older systems use termcap.
       (The “TERMCAP” environment variable is not set if xterm is linked against a terminfo
       library, since the requisite information is not provided by the termcap emulation of
       terminfo libraries).

       Many of the special xterm features may be modified under program control through a set of
       escape sequences different from the standard VTxxx escape sequences (see Xterm Control
       Sequences).

       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 recorded internally by xterm and may be written to a file by sending
       the COPY escape sequence (or through the Tektronix menu; see below).  The name of the file
       will be

           “COPYyyyy-MM-dd.hh:mm:ss”

       where yyyy, MM, dd, hh, mm and ss are the year, month, day, hour, minute and second when
       the COPY was performed (the file is created in the directory xterm is started in, or the
       home directory for a login xterm).

       Not all of the features described in this manual are necessarily available in this version
       of xterm.  Some (e.g., the non-VT220 extensions) are available only if they were compiled
       in, though the most commonly-used are in the default configuration.

OTHER FEATURES

       Xterm 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 VTxxx 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 usual
       terminal description for xterm allows the visual editor vi(1) to switch to the alternate
       screen for editing and to restore the screen on exit.  A popup menu entry makes it simple
       to switch between the normal and alternate screens for cut and paste.

       In either VTxxx or Tektronix mode, there are escape sequences to change the name of the
       windows.  Additionally, in VTxxx mode, xterm implements the window-manipulation control
       sequences from dtterm, such as resizing the window, setting its location on the screen.

       Xterm allows character-based applications to receive mouse events (currently button-press
       and release events, and button-motion events) as keyboard control sequences.  See Xterm
       Control Sequences for details.

OPTIONS

       Because xterm uses the X Toolkit library, it accepts the standard X Toolkit command line
       options.  Xterm also accepts many application-specific options.

       By convention, if an option begins with a “+” instead of a “-”, the option is restored to
       its default value.

       Most of the xterm options are actually parsed by the X Toolkit, which sets resource
       values, and overrides corresponding resource-settings in your X resource files.  Xterm
       provides the X Toolkit with a table of options.  A few of these are marked, telling the X
       Toolkit to ignore them (-help, -version, -class, -e, and -into).  After the X Toolkit has
       parsed the command-line parameters, it removes those which it handles, leaving the
       specially-marked parameters for xterm to handle.

       These options do not set a resource value, and are handled specially:

       -version
               This causes xterm to print a version number to the standard output, and then exit.

       -help   This causes xterm to print out a verbose message describing its options, one per
               line.  The message is written to the standard output.  After printing the message,
               xterm exits.  Xterm generates this message, sorting it and noting whether a
               “-option” or a “+option” turns the feature on or off, since some features
               historically have been one or the other.  Xterm generates a concise help message
               (multiple options per line) when an unknown option is used, e.g.,

                   xterm -z

               If the logic for a particular option such as logging is not compiled into xterm,
               the help text for that option also is not displayed by the -help option.

       The -version and -help options are interpreted even if xterm cannot open the display, and
       are useful for testing and configuration scripts.  Along with -class, they are checked
       before other options.  To do this, xterm has its own (much simpler) argument parser, along
       with a table of the X Toolkit's built-in list of options.

       Relying upon the X Toolkit to parse the options and associated values has the advantages
       of simplicity and good integration with the X resource mechanism.  There are a few
       drawbacks

       •   Xterm cannot tell easily whether a resource value was set by one of the external
           resource- or application-defaults files, whether it was set using xrdb(1), or if it
           was set through the -xrm option or via some directly relevant command-line option.
           Xterm sees only the end-result: a value supplied when creating its widgets.

       •   Xterm does not know the order in which particular options and items in resource files
           are evaluated.  Rather, it sees all of the values for a given widget at the same time.
           In the design of these options, some are deemed more important, and can override other
           options.

           The X Toolkit uses patterns (constants and wildcards) to match resources.  Once a
           particular pattern has been used, it will not modify it.  To override a given setting,
           a more-specific pattern must be used, e.g., replacing “*” with “.”.  Some poorly-
           designed resource files are too specific to allow the command-line options to affect
           the relevant widget values.

       •   In a few cases, the X Toolkit combines its standard options in ways which do not work
           well with xterm.  This happens with the color (-fg, -bg) and reverse (-rv) options.
           Xterm makes a special case of these and adjusts its sense of “reverse” to lessen user
           surprise.

       One parameter (after all options) may be given.  That overrides xterm's built-in choice of
       shell program:

       •   If the parameter is not a relative path, i.e., beginning with “./” or “../”, xterm
           looks for the file in the user's PATH.  In either case, this check fails if xterm
           cannot construct an absolute path.

       •   If that check fails (or if no such parameter is given), xterm next checks the “SHELL”
           variable.  If that specifies an executable file, xterm will attempt to start that.
           However, xterm additionally checks if it is a valid shell, and will unset “SHELL” if
           it is not.

       •   If “SHELL” is not set to an executable file, xterm tries to use the shell program
           specified in the user's password file entry.  As before, xterm verifies if this is a
           valid shell.

       •   Finally, if the password file entry does not specify a valid shell, xterm uses
           /bin/sh.

       The -e option cannot be used with this parameter since it uses all parameters following
       the option.

       Xterm validates shell programs by finding their pathname in the text file /etc/shells.  It
       treats the environment variable “SHELL” specially because (like “TERM”), xterm both reads
       and updates the variable, and because the program started by xterm is not necessarily a
       shell.

       The other options are used to control the appearance and behavior.  Not all options are
       necessarily configured into your copy of xterm:

       -132    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 xterm window will resize appropriately.

       -ah     This option indicates that xterm should always highlight the text cursor.  By
               default, xterm will display a hollow text cursor whenever the focus is lost or the
               pointer leaves the window.

       +ah     This option indicates that xterm should do text cursor highlighting based on
               focus.

       -ai     This option disables active icon support if that feature was compiled into xterm.
               This is equivalent to setting the vt100 resource activeIcon to “false”.

       +ai     This option enables active icon support if that feature was compiled into xterm.
               This is equivalent to setting the vt100 resource activeIcon to “true”.

       -aw     This option indicates that auto-wraparound should be allowed, and is equivalent to
               setting the vt100 resource autoWrap to “true”.

               Auto-wraparound allows the cursor to automatically wrap to the beginning of the
               next line when it is at the rightmost position of a line and text is output.

       +aw     This option indicates that auto-wraparound should not be allowed, and is
               equivalent to setting the vt100 resource autoWrap to “false”.

       -b number
               This option specifies the size of the inner border (the distance between the outer
               edge of the characters and the window border) in pixels.  That is the vt100
               internalBorder resource.  The default is “2”.

       -barc   This option, corresponding to the cursorBar resource, makes the cursor a bar
               instead of a box.

       +barc   This option, corresponding to the cursorBar resource, makes the cursor a box
               instead of a bar.

       -baudrate number
               Set the line-speed, used to test the behavior of applications that use the line-
               speed when optimizing their output to the screen.  The default is “38400”.

       -bc     turn on text cursor blinking.  This overrides the cursorBlink resource.

       +bc     turn off text cursor blinking.  This overrides the cursorBlink resource.

       -bcf milliseconds
               set the amount of time text cursor is off when blinking via the cursorOffTime
               resource.

       -bcn milliseconds
               set the amount of time text cursor is on when blinking via the cursorOnTime
               resource.

       -bdc    Set the vt100 resource colorBDMode to “false”, disabling the display of characters
               with bold attribute as color.

       +bdc    Set the vt100 resource colorBDMode to “true”, enabling the display of characters
               with bold attribute as color rather than bold.

       -cb     Set the vt100 resource cutToBeginningOfLine to “false”.

       +cb     Set the vt100 resource cutToBeginningOfLine to “true”.

       -cc characterclassrange:value[, ...]
               This sets classes indicated by the given ranges for using in selecting by words
               (see CHARACTER CLASSES and the charClass resource).

       -cjk_width
               Set the cjkWidth resource to “true”.  When turned on, characters with East Asian
               Ambiguous (A) category in UTR 11 have a column width of 2.  Otherwise, they have a
               column width of 1.  This may be useful for some legacy CJK text terminal-based
               programs assuming box drawings and others to have a column width of 2.  It also
               should be turned on when you specify a TrueType CJK double-width (bi-
               width/monospace) font either with -fa at the command line or faceName resource.
               The default is “false”

       +cjk_width
               Reset the cjkWidth resource.

       -class string
               This option allows you to override xterm's resource class.  Normally it is
               “XTerm”, but can be set to another class such as “UXTerm” to override selected
               resources.

               X Toolkit sets the WM_CLASS property using the instance name and this class value.

       -cm     This option disables recognition of ANSI color-change escape sequences.  It sets
               the colorMode resource to “false”.

       +cm     This option enables recognition of ANSI color-change escape sequences.  This is
               the same as the vt100 resource colorMode.

       -cn     This option indicates that newlines should not be cut in line-mode selections.  It
               sets the cutNewline resource to “false”.

       +cn     This option indicates that newlines should be cut in line-mode selections.  It
               sets the cutNewline resource to “true”.

       -cr color
               This option specifies the color to use for text cursor.  The default is to use the
               same foreground color that is used for text.  It sets the cursorColor resource
               according to the parameter.

       -cu     This option indicates that xterm should work around a bug in the more(1) program
               that causes it to incorrectly display lines that are exactly the width of the
               window and are followed by a line beginning with a tab (the leading tabs are not
               displayed).  This option is so named because it was originally thought to be a bug
               in the curses(3x) cursor motion package.

       +cu     This option indicates that xterm should not work around the more(1) bug mentioned
               above.

       -dc     This option disables the escape sequence to change dynamic colors: the vt100
               foreground and background colors, its text cursor color, the pointer cursor
               foreground and background colors, the Tektronix emulator foreground and background
               colors, its text cursor color and highlight color.  The option sets the
               dynamicColors option to “false”.

       +dc     This option enables the escape sequence to change dynamic colors.  The option sets
               the dynamicColors option to “true”.

       -e program [ arguments ... ]
               This option specifies the program (and its command line arguments) to be run in
               the xterm window.  It also sets the window title and icon name to be the basename
               of the program being executed if neither -T nor -n are given on the command line.

               NOTE: This must be the last option on the command line.

       -en encoding
               This option determines the encoding on which xterm runs.  It sets the locale
               resource.  Encodings other than UTF-8 are supported by using luit.  The -lc option
               should be used instead of -en for systems with locale support.

       -fa pattern
               This option sets the pattern for fonts selected from the FreeType library if
               support for that library was compiled into xterm.  This corresponds to the
               faceName resource.  When a CJK double-width font is specified, you also need to
               turn on the cjkWidth resource.

               If you specify both -fa and the X Toolkit option -fn, the -fa setting overrides
               the latter.

               See also the renderFont resource, which combines with this to determine whether
               FreeType fonts are initially active.

       -fb font
               This option specifies a font to be used when displaying bold text.  It sets the
               boldFont resource.

               This font must be the same height and width as the normal font, otherwise it is
               ignored.  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.

               See also the discussion of boldMode and alwaysBoldMode resources.

       -fbb    This option indicates that xterm should compare normal and bold fonts bounding
               boxes to ensure they are compatible.  It sets the freeBoldBox resource to “false”.

       +fbb    This option indicates that xterm should not compare normal and bold fonts bounding
               boxes to ensure they are compatible.  It sets the freeBoldBox resource to “true”.

       -fbx    This option indicates that xterm should not assume that the normal and bold fonts
               have VT100 line-drawing characters.  If any are missing, xterm will draw the
               characters directly.  It sets the forceBoxChars resource to “false”.

       +fbx    This option indicates that xterm should assume that the normal and bold fonts have
               VT100 line-drawing characters.  It sets the forceBoxChars resource to “true”.

       -fc fontchoice
               Specify the initial font chosen from the font menu.  The option value corresponds
               to the initialFont resource.

       -fd pattern
               This option sets the pattern for double-width fonts selected from the FreeType
               library if support for that library was compiled into xterm.  This corresponds to
               the faceNameDoublesize resource.

       -fi font
               This option sets the font for active icons if that feature was compiled into
               xterm.

               See also the discussion of the iconFont resource.

       -fs size
               This option sets the pointsize for fonts selected from the FreeType library if
               support for that library was compiled into xterm.  This corresponds to the
               faceSize resource.

       -fullscreen
               This option indicates that xterm should ask the window manager to let it use the
               full-screen for display, e.g., without window decorations.  It sets the fullscreen
               resource to “true”.

       +fullscreen
               This option indicates that xterm should not ask the window manager to let it use
               the full-screen for display.  It sets the fullscreen resource to “false”.

       -fw font
               This option specifies the font to be used for displaying wide text.  By default,
               it will attempt to use a font twice as wide as the font that will be used to draw
               normal text.  If no double-width font is found, it will improvise, by stretching
               the normal font.  This corresponds to the wideFont resource.

       -fwb font
               This option specifies the font to be used for displaying bold wide text.  By
               default, it will attempt to use a font twice as wide as the font that will be used
               to draw bold text.  If no double-width font is found, it will improvise, by
               stretching the bold font.  This corresponds to the wideBoldFont resource.

       -fx font
               This option specifies the font to be used for displaying the preedit string in the
               “OverTheSpot” input method.

               See also the discussion of the ximFont resource.

       -hc color
               (see -selbg).

       -hf     This option indicates that HP function key escape codes should be generated for
               function keys.  It sets the hpFunctionKeys resource to “true”.

       +hf     This option indicates that HP function key escape codes should not be generated
               for function keys.  It sets the hpFunctionKeys resource to “false”.

       -hm     Tells xterm to use highlightTextColor and highlightColor to override the reversed
               foreground/background colors in a selection.  It sets the highlightColorMode
               resource to “true”.

       +hm     Tells xterm not to use highlightTextColor and highlightColor to override the
               reversed foreground/background colors in a selection.  It sets the
               highlightColorMode resource to “false”.

       -hold   Turn on the hold resource, i.e., xterm will not immediately destroy its window
               when the shell command completes.  It will wait until you use the window manager
               to destroy/kill the window, or if you use the menu entries that send a signal,
               e.g., HUP or KILL.

       +hold   Turn off the hold resource, i.e., xterm will immediately destroy its window when
               the shell command completes.

       -ie     Turn on the ptyInitialErase resource, i.e., use the pseudo-terminal's sense of the
               stty erase value.

       +ie     Turn off the ptyInitialErase resource, i.e., set the stty erase value using the kb
               string from the termcap entry as a reference, if available.

       -im     Turn on the useInsertMode resource, which forces use of insert mode by adding
               appropriate entries to the TERMCAP environment variable.  (This option is ignored
               on most systems, because TERMCAP is not used).

       +im     Turn off the useInsertMode resource.

       -into windowId
               Given an X window identifier (an integer, which can be hexadecimal, octal or
               decimal according to whether it begins with "0x", "0" or neither), xterm will
               reparent its top-level shell widget to that window.  This is used to embed xterm
               within other applications.

               For instance, there are scripts for Tcl/Tk and Gtk which can be used to
               demonstrate the feature.  When using Gtk, there is a limitation of that toolkit
               which requires that xterm's allowSendEvents resource is enabled.

       -itc    Set the vt100 resource colorITMode to “false”, disabling the display of characters
               with italic attribute as color.

       +itc    Set the vt100 resource colorITMode to “true”, enabling the display of characters
               with italic attribute as color rather than italic.

       -j      This option indicates that xterm should do jump scrolling.  It corresponds to the
               jumpScroll resource.  Normally, text is scrolled one line at a time; this option
               allows xterm to move multiple lines at a time so that it does not fall as far
               behind.  Its use is strongly recommended since it makes xterm 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.

       +j      This option indicates that xterm should not do jump scrolling.

       -k8     This option sets the allowC1Printable resource.  When allowC1Printable is set,
               xterm overrides the mapping of C1 control characters (code 128–159) to treat them
               as printable.

       +k8     This option resets the allowC1Printable resource.

       -kt keyboardtype
               This option sets the keyboardType resource.  Possible values include: “unknown”,
               “default”, “legacy”, “hp”, “sco”, “sun”, “tcap” and “vt220”.

               The value “unknown”, causes the corresponding resource to be ignored.

               The value “default”, suppresses the associated resources

               hpFunctionKeys,
               scoFunctionKeys,
               sunFunctionKeys,
               tcapFunctionKeys,
               oldXtermFKeys and
               sunKeyboard,

               using the Sun/PC keyboard layout.

       -l      Turn logging on, unless disabled by the logInhibit resource.

               Some versions of xterm may have logging enabled.  However, normally logging is not
               supported, due to security concerns in the early 1990s.  That was a problem in
               X11R4 xterm (1989) which was addressed by a patch to X11R5 late in 1993.  X11R6
               included these fixes.  The older version (when running with root privilege) would
               create the log file using root privilege.  The reason why xterm ran with root
               privileges was to open pseudo-terminals.  Those privileges are now needed only on
               very old systems: Unix98 pseudo-terminals made the BSD scheme unnecessary.

               Unless overridden by the -lf option or the logFile resource:

               •   If the filename is “-”, then logging is sent to the standard output.

               •   Otherwise a filename is generated, and the log file is written to the
                   directory from which xterm is invoked.

               •   The generated filename is of the form

                       XtermLog.XXXXXX

                   or

                       Xterm.log.hostname.yyyy.mm.dd.hh.mm.ss.XXXXXX

                   depending on how xterm was built.

       +l      Turn logging off.

       -lc     Turn on support of various encodings according to the users' locale setting, i.e.,
               LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, or LANG environment variables.  This is achieved by turning on
               UTF-8 mode and by invoking luit for conversion between locale encodings and UTF-8.
               (luit is not invoked in UTF-8 locales.)  This corresponds to the locale resource.

               The actual list of encodings which are supported is determined by luit.  Consult
               the luit manual page for further details.

               See also the discussion of the -u8 option which supports UTF-8 locales.

       +lc     Turn off support of automatic selection of locale encodings.  Conventional 8bit
               mode or, in UTF-8 locales or with -u8 option, UTF-8 mode will be used.

       -lcc path
               File name for the encoding converter from/to locale encodings and UTF-8 which is
               used with -lc option or locale resource.  This corresponds to the localeFilter
               resource.

       -leftbar
               Force scrollbar to the left side of VT100 screen.  This is the default, unless you
               have set the rightScrollBar resource.

       -lf filename
               Specify the log filename.  This sets the logFile resource.  If set to “-”, xterm
               writes its log to the standard output.  See the -l option.

       -ls     This option indicates that the shell that is started in the xterm 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).

               The -ls flag and the loginShell resource are ignored if -e is also given, because
               xterm does not know how to make the shell start the given command after whatever
               it does when it is a login shell - the user's shell of choice need not be a Bourne
               shell after all.  Also, xterm -e is supposed to provide a consistent functionality
               for other applications that need to start text-mode programs in a window, and if
               loginShell were not ignored, the result of ~/.profile might interfere with that.

               If you do want the effect of -ls and -e simultaneously, you may get away with
               something like

                   xterm -e /bin/bash -l -c "my command here"

               Finally, -ls is not completely ignored, because xterm -ls -e does write a
               /var/log/wtmp entry (if configured to do so), whereas xterm -e does not.

       +ls     This option indicates that the shell that is started should not be a login shell
               (i.e., it will be a normal “subshell”).

       -maximized
               This option indicates that xterm should ask the window manager to maximize its
               layout on startup.  This corresponds to the maximized resource.

               Maximizing is not the reverse of iconifying; it is possible to do both with
               certain window managers.

       +maximized
               This option indicates that xterm should ask the window manager to not maximize its
               layout on startup.

       -mb     This option indicates that xterm should ring a margin bell when the user types
               near the right end of a line.

       +mb     This option indicates that margin bell should not be rung.

       -mc milliseconds
               This option specifies the maximum time between multi-click selections.

       -mesg   Turn off the messages resource, i.e., disallow write access to the terminal.

       +mesg   Turn on the messages resource, i.e., allow write access to the terminal.

       -mk_width
               Set the mkWidth resource to “true”.  This makes xterm use a built-in version of
               the wide-character width calculation.  The default is “false”

       +mk_width
               Reset the mkWidth resource.

       -ms color
               This option specifies the color to be used for the pointer cursor.  The default is
               to use the foreground color.  This sets the pointerColor resource.

       -nb number
               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”.

       -nul    This option disables the display of underlining.

       +nul    This option enables the display of underlining.

       -pc     This option enables the PC-style use of bold colors (see boldColors resource).

       +pc     This option disables the PC-style use of bold colors.

       -pf font
               This option specifies the font to be used for the pointer.  The corresponding
               resource name is pointerFont.  The resource value default is cursor.

       -pob    This option indicates that the window should be raised whenever a Control-G is
               received.

       +pob    This option indicates that the window should not be raised whenever a Control-G is
               received.

       -report-charclass
               Print a report to the standard output showing information about the character-
               classes which can be altered using the charClass resource.

       -report-colors
               Print a report to the standard output showing information about colors as xterm
               allocates them.  This corresponds to the reportColors resource.

       -report-fonts
               Print a report to the standard output showing information about fonts which are
               loaded.  This corresponds to the reportFonts resource.

       -report-icons
               Print a report to the standard output showing information about pixmap-icons which
               are loaded.  This corresponds to the reportIcons resource.

       -report-xres
               Print a report to the standard output showing the values of boolean, numeric or
               string X resources for the VT100 widget when initialization is complete.  This
               corresponds to the reportXRes resource.

       -rightbar
               Force scrollbar to the right side of VT100 screen.

       -rvc    This option disables the display of characters with reverse attribute as color.

       +rvc    This option enables the display of characters with reverse attribute as color.

       -rw     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.

       +rw     This option indicates that reverse-wraparound should not be allowed.

       -s      This option indicates that xterm may scroll asynchronously, meaning that the
               screen does not have to be kept completely up to date while scrolling.  This
               allows xterm to run faster when network latencies are very high and is typically
               useful when running across a very large internet or many gateways.

       +s      This option indicates that xterm should scroll synchronously.

       -samename
               Does not send title and icon name change requests when the request would have no
               effect: the name is not changed.  This has the advantage of preventing flicker and
               the disadvantage of requiring an extra round trip to the server to find out the
               previous value.  In practice this should never be a problem.

       +samename
               Always send title and icon name change requests.

       -sb     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.

       +sb     This option indicates that a scrollbar should not be displayed.

       -selbg color
               This option specifies the color to use for the background of selected text.  If
               not specified, reverse video is used.  See the discussion of the highlightColor
               resource.

       -selfg color
               This option specifies the color to use for selected text.  If not specified,
               reverse video is used.  See the discussion of the highlightTextColor resource.

       -sf     This option indicates that Sun function key escape codes should be generated for
               function keys.

       +sf     This option indicates that the standard escape codes should be generated for
               function keys.

       -sh number
               scale line-height values by the given number.  See the discussion of the
               scaleHeight resource.

       -si     This option indicates that output to a window should not automatically reposition
               the screen to the bottom of the scrolling region.  This option can be turned on
               and off from the VT Options menu.

       +si     This option indicates that output to a window should cause it to scroll to the
               bottom.

       -sk     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.

       +sk     This option indicates that pressing a key while using the scrollbar should not
               cause the window to be repositioned.

       -sl number
               This option specifies the number of lines to save that have been scrolled off the
               top of the screen.  This corresponds to the saveLines resource.  The default is
               “1024”.

       -sm     This option, corresponding to the sessionMgt resource, indicates that xterm should
               set up session manager callbacks.

       +sm     This option indicates that xterm should not set up session manager callbacks.

       -sp     This option indicates that Sun/PC keyboard should be assumed, providing mapping
               for keypad “+” to “,”, and CTRL-F1 to F13, CTRL-F2 to F14, etc.

       +sp     This option indicates that the standard escape codes should be generated for
               keypad and function keys.

       -t      This option indicates that xterm should start in Tektronix mode, rather than in
               VTxxx mode.  Switching between the two windows is done using the “Options” menus.

               Terminal database (terminfo (5) or termcap (5)) entries that work with xterm are:

               “tek4014”,
               “tek4015”,
               “tek4012”,
               “tek4013”,
               “tek4010”, and
               “dumb”.

               Xterm automatically searches the terminal database in this order for these entries
               and then sets the “TERM” variable (and the “TERMCAP” environment variable, if
               relevant).

       +t      This option indicates that xterm should start in VTxxx mode.

       -tb     This option, corresponding to the toolBar resource, indicates that xterm should
               display a toolbar (or menubar) at the top of its window.  The buttons in the
               toolbar correspond to the popup menus, e.g., control/left/mouse for Main Options.

       +tb     This option indicates that xterm should not set up a toolbar.

       -ti term_id
               Specify the name used by xterm to select the correct response to terminal ID
               queries.  It also specifies the emulation level, used to determine the type of
               response to a DA control sequence.  Valid values include vt52, vt100, vt101,
               vt102, vt220, and vt240 (the “vt” is optional).  The default is “vt420”.  The
               term_id argument specifies the terminal ID to use.  (This is the same as the
               decTerminalID resource).

       -tm string
               This option specifies a series of terminal setting keywords followed by the
               characters that should be bound to those functions, similar to the stty program.
               The keywords and their values are described in detail in the ttyModes resource.

       -tn name
               This option specifies the name of the terminal type to be set in the TERM
               environment variable.  It corresponds to the termName resource.  This terminal
               type must exist in the terminal database (termcap or terminfo, depending on how
               xterm is built) and should have li# and co# entries.  If the terminal type is not
               found, xterm uses the built-in list “xterm”, “vt102”, etc.

       -u8     This option sets the utf8 resource.  When utf8 is set, xterm interprets incoming
               data as UTF-8.  This sets the wideChars resource as a side-effect, but the UTF-8
               mode set by this option prevents it from being turned off.  If you must turn UTF-8
               encoding on and off, use the -wc option or the corresponding wideChars resource,
               rather than the -u8 option.

               This option and the utf8 resource are overridden by the -lc and -en options and
               locale resource.  That is, if xterm has been compiled to support luit, and the
               locale resource is not “false” this option is ignored.  We recommend using the -lc
               option or the “locale: true” resource in UTF-8 locales when your operating system
               supports locale, or -en UTF-8 option or the “locale: UTF-8” resource when your
               operating system does not support locale.

       +u8     This option resets the utf8 resource.

       -uc     This option, corresponding to the cursorUnderline resource, makes the cursor
               underlined instead of a box.

       +uc     This option m, corresponding to the cursorUnderline resource, akes the cursor a
               box instead of underlined.

       -ulc    This option disables the display of characters with underline attribute as color
               rather than with underlining.

       +ulc    This option enables the display of characters with underline attribute as color
               rather than with underlining.

       -ulit   This option, corresponding to the italicULMode resource, disables the display of
               characters with underline attribute as italics rather than with underlining.

       +ulit   This option, corresponding to the italicULMode resource, enables the display of
               characters with underline attribute as italics rather than with underlining.

       -ut     This option indicates that xterm should not write a record into the system utmp
               log file.

       +ut     This option indicates that xterm should write a record into the system utmp log
               file.

       -vb     This option indicates that a visual bell is preferred over an audible one.
               Instead of ringing the terminal bell whenever a Control-G is received, the window
               will be flashed.

       +vb     This option indicates that a visual bell should not be used.

       -wc     This option sets the wideChars resource.

               When wideChars is set, xterm maintains internal structures for 16-bit characters.
               If xterm is not started in UTF-8 mode (or if this resource is not set), initially
               it maintains those structures to support 8-bit characters.  Xterm can later be
               switched, using a menu entry or control sequence, causing it to reallocate those
               structures to support 16-bit characters.

               The default is “false”.

       +wc     This option resets the wideChars resource.

       -wf     This option indicates that xterm 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.

       +wf     This option indicates that xterm should not wait before starting the subprocess.

       -ziconbeep percent
               Same as zIconBeep resource.  If percent is non-zero, xterms that produce output
               while iconified will cause an XBell sound at the given volume and have “***”
               prepended to their icon titles.  Most window managers will detect this change
               immediately, showing you which window has the output.  (A similar feature was in
               x10 xterm.)

       -C      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 xdm 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.

       -Sccn   This option allows xterm to be used as an input and output channel for an existing
               program and is sometimes used in specialized applications.  The option value
               specifies the last few letters of the name of a pseudo-terminal to use in slave
               mode, plus the number of the inherited file descriptor.  If the option contains a
               “/” character, that delimits the characters used for the pseudo-terminal name from
               the file descriptor.  Otherwise, exactly two characters are used from the option
               for the pseudo-terminal name, the remainder is the file descriptor.  Examples (the
               first two are equivalent since the descriptor follows the last “/”):

                   -S/dev/pts/123/45
                   -S123/45
                   -Sab34

               Note that xterm does not close any file descriptor which it did not open for its
               own use.  It is possible (though probably not portable) to have an application
               which passes an open file descriptor down to xterm past the initialization or the
               -S option to a process running in the xterm.

   Old Options
       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.

       %geom   This option specifies the preferred size and position of the Tektronix window.  It
               is shorthand for specifying the “tekGeometry” resource.

       #geom   This option specifies the preferred position of the icon window.  It is shorthand
               for specifying the “iconGeometry” resource.

       -T string
               This option specifies the title for xterm's windows.  It is equivalent to -title.

       -n string
               This option specifies the icon name for xterm's windows.  It is shorthand for
               specifying the “iconName” resource.  Note that this is not the same as the X
               Toolkit option -name.  The default icon name is the application name.

               If no suitable icon is found, xterm provides a compiled-in pixmap.

               X Toolkit sets the WM_ICON_NAME property using this value.

       -r      This option indicates that reverse video should be simulated by swapping the
               foreground and background colors.  It is equivalent to -rv.

       -w number
               This option specifies the width in pixels of the border surrounding the window.
               It is equivalent to -borderwidth or -bw.

   X Toolkit Options
       The following standard X Toolkit command line arguments are commonly used with xterm:

       -bd color
               This option specifies the color to use for the border of the window.  The
               corresponding resource name is borderColor.  Xterm uses the X Toolkit default,
               which is “XtDefaultForeground”.

               Xterm's VT100 window has two borders: the inner border internalBorder and the
               outer border borderWidth, managed by the X Toolkit.

               Normally xterm fills the inner border using the VT100 window's background color.
               If the colorInnerBorder resource is enabled, then xterm may fill the inner border
               using the borderColor resource.

       -bg color
               This option specifies the color to use for the background of the window.  The
               corresponding resource name is background.  The default is “XtDefaultBackground”.

       -bw number
               This option specifies the width in pixels of the border surrounding the window.

               This appears to be a legacy of older X releases.  It sets the borderWidth resource
               of the shell widget, and may provide advice to your window manager to set the
               thickness of the window frame.  Most window managers do not use this information.
               See the -b option, which controls the inner border of the xterm window.

       -display display
               This option specifies the X server to contact; see X(7).

       -fg color
               This option specifies the color to use for displaying text.  The corresponding
               resource name is foreground.  The default is “XtDefaultForeground”.

       -fn font
               This option specifies the font to be used for displaying normal text.  The
               corresponding resource name is font.  The resource value default is fixed.

               Xterm's -fn option accepts a comma-separated list like -fa, for the VT100 widget,
               using the first bitmap font (and discarding additional fonts).  However, other
               widgets (such as the toolbar) will be confused by this and give a warning.

       -font font
               This is the same as -fn.

       -geometry geometry
               This option specifies the preferred size and position of the VTxxx window; see
               X(7).

               The normal geometry specification can be suffixed with @ followed by a Xinerama
               screen specification; it can be either g for the global screen (default), c for
               the current screen or a screen number.

       -iconic
               This option indicates that xterm should ask the window manager to start it as an
               icon rather than as the normal window.  The corresponding resource name is iconic.

       -name name
               This option specifies the application name under which resources are to be
               obtained, rather than the default executable file name.  Name should not contain
               “.” or “*” characters.

       -rv     This option indicates that reverse video should be simulated by swapping the
               foreground and background colors.  The corresponding resource name is
               reverseVideo.

       +rv     Disable the simulation of reverse video by swapping foreground and background
               colors.

       -title string
               This option specifies the window title string, which may be displayed by window
               managers if the user so chooses.  It is shorthand for specifying the “title”
               resource.  The default title is the command line specified after the -e option, if
               any, otherwise the application name.

               X Toolkit sets the WM_NAME property using this value.

       -xrm resourcestring
               This option specifies a resource string to be used.  This is especially useful for
               setting resources that do not have separate command line options.

       X Toolkit accepts alternate names for a few of these options, e.g.,

       •   “-background” for “-bg”

       •   “-font” for “-fn”

       •   “-foreground” for “-fg”

       Abbreviated options also are supported, e.g., “-v” for “-version.”

RESOURCES

       Xterm understands all of the core X Toolkit resource names and classes.  It also uses the
       X Toolkit resource types (such as booleans, colors, fonts, integers, and strings) along
       with their respective converters.  Those resource types are not always sufficient:

       •   Xterm's resource values may be lists of names.  X Toolkit resource types do not
           include lists.  Xterm uses a string for the resource, and parses it.

           Comma-separated lists of names ignore case.

       •   Xterm may defer processing a resource until it is needed.  For example, font2 through
           font7 are loaded as needed, to start faster.  Again, the actual resource type is a
           string, parsed and used when needed.

       Application specific resources (e.g., “XTerm.NAME”) follow:

   Application Resources
       backarrowKeyIsErase (class BackarrowKeyIsErase)
               Tie the VTxxx backarrowKey and ptyInitialErase resources together by setting the
               DECBKM state according to whether the initial erase character is a backspace (8)
               or delete (127) character.  A “false” value disables this feature.  The default is
               “True”.

               Here are tables showing how the initial settings for

               •   backarrowKeyIsErase (BKIE),

               •   backarrowKey (BK), and

               •   ptyInitialErase (PIE), along with the

               •   stty erase character (^H for backspace, ^? for delete)

               will affect DECBKM.  First, xterm obtains the initial erase character:

               •   xterm's internal value is ^H

               •   xterm asks the operating system for the value which stty shows

               •   the ttyModes resource may override erase

               •   if ptyInitialErase is false, xterm will look in the terminal database

               Summarizing that as a table:

               PIE     stty   termcap   erase
               ───────────────────────────────
               false    ^H      ^H       ^H
               false    ^H      ^?       ^?
               false    ^?      ^H       ^H
               false    ^?      ^?       ^?
               true     ^H      ^H       ^H
               true     ^H      ^?       ^H
               true     ^?      ^H       ^?
               true     ^?      ^?       ^?

               Using that erase character, xterm allows further choices:

               •   if backarrowKeyIsErase is true, xterm uses the erase character for the initial
                   state of DECBKM

               •   if backarrowKeyIsErase is false, xterm sets DECBKM to 2 (internal).  This ties
                   together backarrowKey and the control sequence for DECBKM.

               •   applications can send a control sequence to set/reset DECBKM control set

               •   the “Backarrow Key (BS/DEL)” menu entry toggles DECBKM

               Summarizing the initialization details:

               erase   BKIE    BK      DECBKM   result
               ────────────────────────────────────────
                ^?     false   false     2        ^H
                ^?     false   true      2        ^?
                ^?     true    false     0        ^?
                ^?     true    true      1        ^?
                ^H     false   false     2        ^H
                ^H     false   true      2        ^?
                ^H     true    false     0        ^H
                ^H     true    true      1        ^H

       buffered (class Buffered)
               Normally xterm is built with double-buffer support.  This resource can be used to
               turn it on or off.  Setting the resource to “true” turns double-buffering on.  The
               default value is “False”.

       bufferedFPS (class BufferedFPS)
               When xterm is built with double-buffer support, this gives the maximum number of
               frames/second.  The default is “40” and is limited to the range 1 through 100.

       cursorTheme (class CursorTheme)
               The Xcursor(7) library provides a way to change the pointer shape and size.  The
               X11 library uses this library to extend the font- and glyph-cursor calls used by
               applications such as xterm  to substitute external files for the built-in “core”
               cursors provided by X.

               Xterm uses the pointerShape resource to select the X cursor shape.  Most of the
               available sets of cursor themes provide an incomplete set of “core” cursors (while
               possibly adding other cursors).  Because of this limitation, xterm disables the
               feature by default.

               The cursor theme feature can be useful because X cursors are not scalable and on a
               high-resolution display, the cursors are hard to find.  Some of the cursor themes
               include larger cursors to work around this limitation:

               •   The default core cursors are 8x8 pixels;

               •   Some cursor themes include cursors up to the X server limit of 64x64 pixels.

               At startup, xterm sets the XCURSOR_THEME environment variable to enable or disable
               the cursor theme feature.  The default value is “none”.  Other values (including
               “default”) are passed to the Xcursor library to select a cursor theme.

       fullscreen (class Fullscreen)
               Specifies whether or not xterm should ask the window manager to use a fullscreen
               layout on startup.  Xterm accepts either a keyword (ignoring case) or the number
               shown in parentheses:

               false (0)
                  Fullscreen layout is not used initially, but may be later via menu-selection or
                  control sequence.

               true (1)
                  Fullscreen layout is used initially, but may be disabled later via menu-
                  selection or control sequence.

               always (2)
                  Fullscreen layout is used initially, and cannot be disabled later via menu-
                  selection or control sequence.

               never (3)
                  Fullscreen layout is not used, and cannot be enabled later via menu-selection
                  or control sequence.

               The default is “false”.

       hold (class Hold)
               If true, xterm will not immediately destroy its window when the shell command
               completes.  It will wait until you use the window manager to destroy/kill the
               window, or if you use the menu entries that send a signal, e.g., HUP or KILL.  You
               may scroll back, select text, etc., to perform most graphical operations.
               Resizing the display will lose data, however, since this involves interaction with
               the shell which is no longer running.

       hpFunctionKeys (class HpFunctionKeys)
               Specifies whether or not HP function key escape codes should be generated for
               function keys.  The default is “false”, i.e., this feature is disabled.

               The keyboardType resource is the preferred mechanism for selecting this mode.

       iconGeometry (class IconGeometry)
               Specifies the preferred size and position of the application when iconified.  It
               is not necessarily obeyed by all window managers.

       iconHint (class IconHint)
               Specifies an icon which will be added to the window manager hints.  Xterm provides
               no default value.

               Set this resource to “none” to omit the hint entirely, using whatever the window
               manager may decide.

               If the iconHint resource is given (or is set via the -n option) xterm searches for
               a pixmap file with that name, in the current directory as well as in
               /usr/share/pixmaps.  if the resource does not specify an absolute pathname.  In
               each case, xterm adds “_48x48” and/or “.xpm” to the filename after trying without
               those suffixes.  If it is able to load the file, xterm sets the window manager
               hint for the icon-pixmap.  These pixmaps are distributed with xterm, and can
               optionally be compiled-in:

               •   mini.xterm_16x16, mini.xterm_32x32, mini.xterm_48x48

               •   filled-xterm_16x16, filled-xterm_32x32, filled-xterm_48x48

               •   xterm_16x16, xterm_32x32, xterm_48x48

               •   xterm-color_16x16, xterm-color_32x32, xterm-color_48x48

               In either case, xterm allows for adding a “_48x48” to specify the largest of the
               pixmaps as a default.  That is, “mini.xterm” is the same as “mini.xterm_48x48”.

               If no explicit iconHint resource is given (or if none of the compiled-in names
               matches), xterm uses “mini.xterm” (which is always compiled-in).

               The iconHint resource has no effect on “desktop” files, including “panel” and
               “menu”.  Those are typically set via a “.desktop” file; xterm provides samples for
               itself (and the uxterm script).  The more capable desktop systems allow changing
               the icon on a per-user basis.

       iconName (class IconName)
               Specifies a label for xterm when iconified.  Xterm provides no default value; some
               window managers may assume the application name, e.g., “xterm”.

               Setting the iconName resource sets the icon label unless overridden by zIconBeep
               or the control sequences which change the window and icon labels.

       keyboardType (class KeyboardType)
               Enables one (or none) of the various keyboard-type resources: hpFunctionKeys,
               scoFunctionKeys, sunFunctionKeys, tcapFunctionKeys, oldXtermFKeys and sunKeyboard.

               The resource's value should be one of the corresponding strings “hp”, “sco”,
               “sun”, “tcap”, “legacy” or “vt220”, respectively.

               The individual resources are provided for legacy support; this resource is simpler
               to use.  Xterm will use only one keyboard-type, but if multiple resources are set,
               it warns and uses the last one it checks.

               The default is “unknown”, i.e., none of the associated resources are set via this
               resource.

       maxBufSize (class MaxBufSize)
               Specify the maximum size of the input buffer.  The default is “32768”.  You cannot
               set this to a value less than the minBufSize resource.  It will be increased as
               needed to make that value evenly divide this one.

               On some systems you may want to increase one or both of the maxBufSize and
               minBufSize resource values to achieve better performance if the operating system
               prefers larger buffer sizes.

       maximized (class Maximized)
               Specifies whether or not xterm should ask the window manager to maximize its
               layout on startup.  The default is “false”.

       menuHeight (class MenuHeight)
               Specifies the height of the toolbar, which may be increased by the X Toolkit
               Layout widget depending upon the fontsize used.  The default is “25”.

       menuLocale (class MenuLocale)
               Specify the locale used for character-set computations when loading the popup
               menus.  Use this to improve initialization performance of the Athena popup menus,
               which may load unnecessary (and very large) fonts, e.g., in a locale having UTF-8
               encoding.  The default is “C” (POSIX).

               To use the current locale (only useful if you have localized the resource settings
               for the menu entries), set the resource to an empty string.

       messages (class Messages)
               Specifies whether write access to the terminal is allowed initially.  See mesg(1).
               The default is “true”.

       minBufSize (class MinBufSize)
               Specify the minimum size of the input buffer, i.e., the amount of data that xterm
               requests on each read.  The default is “4096”.  You cannot set this to a value
               less than 64.

       omitTranslation (class OmitTranslation)
               Selectively omit one or more parts of xterm's default translations at startup.
               The resource value is a comma-separated list of keywords, which may be
               abbreviated:

               default
                      ignore (mouse) button-down events which were not handled by other
                      translations

               fullscreen
                      assigns a key-binding to the fullscreen() action.

               keypress
                      assigns keypresses by default to the insert-seven-bit() and
                      insert-eight-bit() actions.

               paging assigns key bindings to the scroll-back() and scroll-forw() actions.

               pointer
                      assigns pointer motion and button events to the pointer-motion() and
                      pointer-button() actions respectively.

               popup-menu
                      assigns mouse-buttons with the control modifier to the popup-menus.

               reset  assigns mouse-button 2 with the meta modifier to the clear-saved-lines
                      action.

               scroll-lock
                      assigns a key-binding to the scroll-lock() action.

               select assigns mouse- and keypress-combinations to actions which manipulate the
                      selection.

                      Xterm also uses these actions to capture mouse button and motion events
                      which can be manipulated with the mouse protocol control sequences.  If the
                      select translations are omitted, then the pointer-motion and pointer-button
                      handle these mouse protocol control sequences instead.

               shift-fonts
                      assigns key-bindings to larger-vt-font() and smaller-vt-font() actions.

               wheel-mouse
                      assigns buttons 4 and 5 with different modifiers to the scroll-back() and
                      scroll-forw() actions.

       ptyHandshake (class PtyHandshake)
               If “true”, xterm will perform handshaking during initialization to ensure that the
               parent and child processes update the utmp and stty state.

               See also waitForMap which waits for the pseudo-terminal's notion of the screen
               size, and ptySttySize which resets the screen size after other terminal
               initialization is complete.  The default is “true”.

       ptyInitialErase (class PtyInitialErase)
               If “true”, xterm will use the pseudo-terminal's sense of the stty erase value.  If
               “false”, xterm will set the stty erase value to match its own configuration, using
               the kb string from the termcap entry as a reference, if available.

               In either case, the result is applied to the TERMCAP variable which xterm sets, if
               the system uses TERMCAP.

               See also the ttyModes resource, which may override this.  The default is “True”.

       ptySttySize (class PtySttySize)
               If “true”, xterm will reset the screen size after terminal initialization is
               complete.  This is needed for some systems whose pseudo-terminals cannot propagate
               terminal characteristics.  Where it is not needed, it can interfere with other
               methods for setting the initial screen size, e.g., via window manager interaction.

               See also waitForMap which waits for a handshake-message giving the pseudo-
               terminal's notion of the screen size.  The default is “false” on Linux and macOS
               systems, “true” otherwise.

       reportColors (class ReportColors)
               If true, xterm will print to the standard output a summary of colors as it
               allocates them.  The default is “false”.

       reportFonts (class ReportFonts)
               If true, xterm will print to the standard output a summary of each font's metrics
               (size, number of glyphs, etc.), as it loads them.  The default is “false”.

       reportIcons (class ReportIcons)
               If true, xterm will print to the standard output a summary of each pixmap icon as
               it loads them.  The default is “false”.

       reportXRes (class ReportXRes)
               If true, xterm will print to the standard output a list of the boolean, numeric
               and string X resources for the VT100 widget after initialization.  The default is
               “false”.

       sameName (class SameName)
               If the value of this resource is “true”, xterm does not send title and icon name
               change requests when the request would have no effect: the name is not changed.
               This has the advantage of preventing flicker and the disadvantage of requiring an
               extra round trip to the server to find out the previous value.  In practice this
               should never be a problem.  The default is “true”.

       scaleHeight (class ScaleHeight)
               Scale line-height values by the resource value, which is limited to “0.9” to
               “1.5”.  The default value is “1.0”,

               While this resource applies to either bitmap or TrueType fonts, its main purpose
               is to help work around incompatible changes in the Xft library's font metrics.
               Xterm checks the font metrics to find what the library claims are the bounding
               boxes for each glyph (character).  However, some of Xft's features (such as the
               autohinter) can cause the glyphs to be scaled larger than the bounding boxes, and
               be partly overwritten by the next row.

               See useClipping for a related resource.

       scoFunctionKeys (class ScoFunctionKeys)
               Specifies whether or not SCO function key escape codes should be generated for
               function keys.  The default is “false”, i.e., this feature is disabled.

               The keyboardType resource is the preferred mechanism for selecting this mode.

       sessionMgt (class SessionMgt)
               If the value of this resource is “true”, xterm sets up session manager callbacks
               for XtNdieCallback and XtNsaveCallback.  The default is “true”.

       sunFunctionKeys (class SunFunctionKeys)
               Specifies whether or not Sun function key escape codes should be generated for
               function keys.  The default is “false”, i.e., this feature is disabled.

               The keyboardType resource is the preferred mechanism for selecting this mode.

       sunKeyboard (class SunKeyboard)
               Xterm translates certain key symbols based on its assumptions about your keyboard.
               This resource specifies whether or not Sun/PC keyboard layout (i.e., the PC
               keyboard's numeric keypad together with 12 function keys) should be assumed rather
               than DEC VT220.  This causes the keypad “+” to be mapped to “,”.  and CTRL F1-F10
               to F11-F20, depending on the setting of the ctrlFKeys resource, so xterm emulates
               a DEC VT220 more accurately.  Otherwise (the default, with sunKeyboard set to
               “false”), xterm uses PC-style bindings for the function keys and keypad.

               PC-style bindings use the Shift, Alt, Control and Meta keys as modifiers for
               function-keys and keypad (see Xterm Control Sequences for details).  The PC-style
               bindings are analogous to PCTerm, but not the same thing.  Normally these bindings
               do not conflict with the use of the Meta key as described for the eightBitInput
               resource.  If they do, note that the PC-style bindings are evaluated first.

               See also the keyboardType resource.

       tcapFunctionKeys (class TcapFunctionKeys)
               Specifies whether or not function key escape codes read from the termcap/terminfo
               entry corresponding to the TERM environment variable should be generated for
               function keys instead of those configured using sunKeyboard and keyboardType.  The
               default is “false”, i.e., this feature is disabled.

               The keyboardType resource is the preferred mechanism for selecting this mode.

       termName (class TermName)
               Specifies the terminal type name to be set in the TERM environment variable.

       title (class Title)
               Specifies a string that may be used by the window manager when displaying this
               application.

       toolBar (class ToolBar)
               Specifies whether or not the toolbar should be displayed.  The default is “true”.

       ttyModes (class TtyModes)
               Specifies a string containing terminal setting keywords.  Except where noted, they
               may be bound to characters.  Other keywords set modes.  Not all keywords are
               supported on a given system.  Allowable keywords include:

               Keyword   POSIX?   Notes
               ────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
               brk       no       CHAR may send an “interrupt” signal, as well
                                  as ending the input-line.
               dsusp     no       CHAR will send a terminal “stop” signal
                                  after input is flushed.
               eof       yes      CHAR will terminate input (i.e., an end of
                                  file).
               eol       yes      CHAR will end the line.
               eol2      no       alternate CHAR for ending the line.
               erase     yes      CHAR will erase the last character typed.
               erase2    no       alternate CHAR for erasing the last input-
                                  character.
               flush     no       CHAR will cause output to be discarded until
                                  another flush character is typed.
               intr      yes      CHAR will send an “interrupt” signal.
               kill      yes      CHAR will erase the current line.
               lnext     no       CHAR will enter the next character quoted.
               quit      yes      CHAR will send a “quit” signal.
               rprnt     no       CHAR will redraw the current line.
               start     yes      CHAR will restart the output after stopping
                                  it.
               status    no       CHAR will cause a system-generated status
                                  line to be printed.
               stop      yes      CHAR will stop the output.
               susp      yes      CHAR will send a terminal “stop” signal
               swtch     no       CHAR will switch to a different shell layer.
               tabs      yes      Mode disables tab-expansion.
               -tabs     yes      Mode enables tab-expansion.
               weras     no       CHAR will erase the last word typed.

               Control characters may be specified as ^char (e.g., ^c or ^u) and ^? may be used
               to indicate delete (127).  Use ^- to denote undef.  Use \034 to represent ^\,
               since a literal backslash in an X resource escapes the next character.

               This is very useful for overriding the default terminal settings without having to
               run stty every time an xterm is started.  Note, however, that the stty program on
               a given host may use different keywords; xterm's table is built in.  The POSIX
               column in the table indicates which keywords are supported by a standard stty
               program.

               If the ttyModes resource specifies a value for erase, that overrides the
               ptyInitialErase resource setting, i.e., xterm initializes the terminal to match
               that value.

       useInsertMode (class UseInsertMode)
               Force use of insert mode by adding appropriate entries to the TERMCAP environment
               variable.  This is useful if the system termcap is broken.  (This resource is
               ignored on most systems, because TERMCAP is not used).  The default is “false”.

       utmpDisplayId (class UtmpDisplayId)
               Specifies whether or not xterm should try to record the display identifier
               (display number and screen number) as well as the hostname in the system utmp log
               file.  The default is “true”.

       utmpInhibit (class UtmpInhibit)
               Specifies whether or not xterm should try to record the user's terminal in the
               system utmp log file.  If true, xterm will not try.  The default is “false”.

       validShells (class ValidShells)
               Augment (add to) the system's /etc/shells, when determining whether to set the
               “SHELL” environment variable when running a given program.

               The resource value is a list of lines (separated by newlines).  Each line holds
               one pathname.  Xterm ignores any line beginning with “#” after trimming
               leading/trailing whitespace from each line.

               The default is an empty string.

       waitForMap (class WaitForMap)
               Specifies whether or not xterm should wait for the initial window map before
               starting the subprocess.  This is part of the ptyHandshake logic.  When xterm is
               directed to wait in this fashion, it passes the terminal size from the display end
               of the pseudo-terminal to the terminal I/O connection, e.g., using the size
               according to the window manager.  Otherwise, it uses the size as given in resource
               values or command-line option -geometry.  The default is “false”.

       zIconBeep (class ZIconBeep)
               Same as -ziconbeep command line argument.  If the value of this resource is non-
               zero, xterms that produce output while iconified will cause an XBell sound at the
               given volume and have “*** ” prepended to their icon titles.  Most window managers
               will detect this change immediately, showing you which window has the output.  (A
               similar feature was in x10 xterm.)  The default is “false”.

       zIconTitleFormat (class ZIconTitleFormat)
               Allow customization of the string used in the zIconBeep feature.  The default
               value is “*** %s”.

               If the resource value contains a “%s”, then xterm inserts the icon title at that
               point rather than prepending the string to the icon title.  (Only the first “%s”
               is used).

   VT100 Widget Resources
       The following resources are specified as part of the vt100 widget (class VT100).  They are
       specified by patterns such as “XTerm.vt100.NAME”.

       If your xterm is configured to support the “toolbar”, then those patterns need an extra
       level for the form-widget which holds the toolbar and vt100 widget.  A wildcard between
       the top-level “XTerm” and the “vt100” widget makes the resource settings work for either,
       e.g., “XTerm*vt100.NAME”.

       activeIcon (class ActiveIcon)
               Specifies whether or not active icon windows are to be used when the xterm window
               is iconified, if this feature is compiled into xterm.  The active icon is a
               miniature representation of the content of the window and will update as the
               content changes.  Not all window managers necessarily support application icon
               windows.  Some window managers will allow you to enter keystrokes into the active
               icon window.  The default is “default”.

               Xterm accepts either a keyword (ignoring case) or the number shown in parentheses:

               false (0)
                      No active icon is shown.

               true (1)
                      The active icon is shown.  If you are using twm, use this setting to enable
                      active-icons.

               default (2)
                      Xterm checks at startup, and shows an active icon only for window managers
                      which it can identify and which are known to support the feature.  These
                      are fvwm (full support), and window maker (limited).  A few other windows
                      managers (such as twm and ctwm) support active icons, but do not support
                      the extensions which allow xterm to identify the window manager.

       allowBoldFonts (class AllowBoldFonts)
               When set to “false”, xterm will not use bold fonts.  This overrides both the
               alwaysBoldMode and the boldMode resources.

       allowC1Printable (class AllowC1Printable)
               If true, overrides the mapping of C1 controls (codes 128–159) to make them be
               treated as if they were printable characters.  Although this corresponds to no
               particular standard, some users insist it is a VT100.  The default is “false”.

       allowColorOps (class AllowColorOps)
               Specifies whether control sequences that set/query the dynamic colors should be
               allowed.  ANSI colors are unaffected by this resource setting.  The default is
               “true”.

       allowFontOps (class AllowFontOps)
               Specifies whether control sequences that set/query the font should be allowed.
               The default is “false”.

       allowMouseOps (class AllowMouseOps)
               Specifies whether control sequences that enable xterm to send escape sequences to
               the host on mouse-clicks and movement.  The default is “true”.

       allowPasteControls (class AllowPasteControls)
               If true, allow control characters such as BEL and CAN to be pasted.  Formatting
               characters (tab, newline) are normally allowed, unless suppressed via the
               disallowedPasteControls resource.  Other C0 control characters are suppressed
               unless this resource is enabled.  The exact set of control characters (C0 and C1)
               depends upon whether UTF-8 encoding is used, as well as the allowC1Printable and
               disallowedPasteControls resources.  The default is “false”.

       allowScrollLock (class AllowScrollLock)
               Specifies whether control sequences that set/query the Scroll Lock key should be
               allowed, as well as whether the Scroll Lock key responds to user's keypress.  The
               default is “false”.

               When this feature is enabled, xterm will sense the state of the Scroll Lock key
               each time it acquires focus.  Pressing the Scroll Lock key toggles xterm's
               internal state, as well as toggling the associated LED.  While the Scroll Lock is
               active, xterm attempts to keep a viewport on the same set of lines.  If the
               current viewport is scrolled past the limit set by the saveLines resource, then
               Scroll Lock has no further effect.

               The reason for setting the default to “false” is to avoid user surprise.  This key
               is generally unused in keyboard configurations, and has not acquired a standard
               meaning even when it is used in that manner.  Consequently, users have assigned it
               for ad hoc purposes.

               See also the autoScrollLock resource.

       allowSendEvents (class AllowSendEvents)
               Specifies whether or not synthetic key and button events (generated using the X
               protocol SendEvent request) should be interpreted or discarded.  The default is
               “false” meaning they are discarded.  Note that allowing such events would create a
               very large security hole, therefore enabling this resource forcefully disables the
               allowXXXOps resources.  The default is “false”.

       allowTcapOps (class AllowTcapOps)
               Specifies whether control sequences that query the terminal's notion of its
               function-key strings, as termcap or terminfo capabilities should be allowed.  The
               default is “true”.

               A few programs, e.g., vim, use this feature to get an accurate description of the
               terminal's capabilities, independent of the termcap/terminfo setting:

               •   Xterm can tell the querying program how many colors it supports.  This is a
                   constant, depending on how it is compiled, typically 16.  It does not change
                   if you alter resource settings, e.g., the boldColors resource.

               •   Xterm can tell the querying program what strings are sent by modified (shift-,
                   control-, alt-) function- and keypad-keys.  Reporting control- and alt-
                   modifiers is a feature that relies on the ncurses extended naming.

       allowTitleOps (class AllowTitleOps)
               Specifies whether control sequences that modify the window title or icon name
               should be allowed.  The default is “true”.

       allowWindowOps (class AllowWindowOps)
               Specifies whether extended window control sequences (as used in dtterm) should be
               allowed.  These include several control sequences which manipulate the window size
               or position, as well as reporting these values and the title or icon name.  Each
               of these can be abused in a script; curiously enough most terminal emulators that
               implement these restrict only a small part of the repertoire.  For fine-tuning,
               see disallowedWindowOps.  The default is “false”.

       altIsNotMeta (class AltIsNotMeta)
               If “true”, treat the Alt-key as if it were the Meta-key.  Your keyboard may happen
               to be configured so they are the same.  But if they are not, this allows you to
               use the same prefix- and shifting operations with the Alt-key as with the Meta-
               key.  See altSendsEscape and metaSendsEscape.  The default is “false”.

       altSendsEscape (class AltSendsEscape)
               This is an additional keyboard operation that may be processed after the logic for
               metaSendsEscape.  It is only available if the altIsNotMeta resource is set.

               •   If “true”, Alt characters (a character combined with the modifier associated
                   with left/right Alt-keys) are converted into a two-character sequence with the
                   character itself preceded by ESC.  This applies as well to function key
                   control sequences, unless xterm sees that Alt is used in your key
                   translations.

               •   If “false”, Alt characters input from the keyboard cause a shift to 8-bit
                   characters (just like metaSendsEscape).  By combining the Alt- and Meta-
                   modifiers, you can create corresponding combinations of ESC-prefix and 8-bit
                   characters.

               The default is “False”.  Xterm provides a menu option for toggling this resource.

       alternateScroll (class ScrollCond)
               If “true”, the scroll-back and scroll-forw actions send cursor-up and -down keys
               when xterm is displaying the alternate screen.  The default is “false”.

               The alternateScroll state can also be set using a control sequence.

       alwaysBoldMode (class AlwaysBoldMode)
               Specifies whether xterm should check if the normal and bold fonts are distinct
               before deciding whether to use overstriking to simulate bold fonts.  If this
               resource is true, xterm does not make the check for distinct fonts when deciding
               how to handle the boldMode resource.  The default is “false”.

               boldMode   alwaysBoldMode   Comparison   Action
               ────────────────────────────────────────────────────
               false      false            ignored      use font
               false      true             ignored      use font
               true       false            same         overstrike
               true       false            different    use font
               true       true             ignored      overstrike

               This resource is used only for bitmap fonts:

               •   When using bitmap fonts, it is possible that the font server will approximate
                   the bold font by rescaling it from a different font size than expected.  The
                   alwaysBoldMode resource allows the user to override the (sometimes poor)
                   resulting bold font with overstriking (which is at least consistent).

               •   The problem does not occur with TrueType fonts (though there can be other
                   unnecessary issues such as different coverage of the normal and bold fonts).

               As an alternative, setting the allowBoldFonts resource to false overrides both the
               alwaysBoldMode and the boldMode resources.

       alwaysHighlight (class AlwaysHighlight)
               Specifies whether or not xterm should always display a highlighted text cursor.
               By default (if this resource is false), a hollow text cursor is displayed whenever
               the pointer moves out of the window or the window loses the input focus.  The
               default is “false”.

       alwaysUseMods (class AlwaysUseMods)
               Override the numLock resource, telling xterm to use the Alt and Meta modifiers to
               construct parameters for function key sequences even if those modifiers appear in
               the translations resource.  Normally xterm checks if Alt or Meta is used in a
               translation that would conflict with function key modifiers, and will ignore these
               modifiers in that special case.  The default is “false”.

       answerbackString (class AnswerbackString)
               Specifies the string that xterm sends in response to an ENQ (control/E) character
               from the host.  The default is a blank string, i.e., “”.  A hardware VT100
               implements this feature as a setup option.

       appcursorDefault (class AppcursorDefault)
               If “true”, the cursor keys are initially in application mode.  This is the same as
               the VT102 private DECCKM mode, The default is “false”.

       appkeypadDefault (class AppkeypadDefault)
               If “true”, the keypad keys are initially in application mode.  The default is
               “false”.

       assumeAllChars (class AssumeAllChars)
               If “true”, this enables a special case in bitmap fonts to allow the font server to
               choose how to display missing glyphs.  The default is “true”.

               The reason for this resource is to help with certain quasi-automatically generated
               fonts (such as the ISO-10646-1 encoding of Terminus) which have incorrect font-
               metrics.

       autoScrollLock (class AutoScrollLock)
               If “true”, xterm will maintain its viewport of displayed lines whenever displaying
               scrollback, as if allowScrollLock were enabled and the Scroll Lock key had been
               pressed.  The default is “false”.  This feature is only useful if the
               scrollTtyOutput resource is set to “false”.

       autoWrap (class AutoWrap)
               Specifies whether or not auto-wraparound should be enabled.  This is the same as
               the VT102 DECAWM.  The default is “true”.

       awaitInput (class AwaitInput)
               Specifies whether or not xterm uses a 50 millisecond timeout to await input (i.e.,
               to support the Xaw3d arrow scrollbar).  The default is “false”.

       backarrowKey (class BackarrowKey)
               Specifies whether the backarrow key transmits a backspace (8) or delete (127)
               character.  This corresponds to the DECBKM control sequence.  A “true” value
               specifies backspace.  The default is “True”.  Pressing the control key toggles
               this behavior.

       background (class Background)
               Specifies the color to use for the background of the window.  The default is
               “XtDefaultBackground”.

       bellIsUrgent (class BellIsUrgent)
               Specifies whether to set the Urgency hint for the window manager when making a
               bell sound.  The default is “false”.

       bellOnReset (class BellOnReset)
               Specifies whether to sound a bell when doing a hard reset.  The default is “true”.

       bellSuppressTime (class BellSuppressTime)
               Number of milliseconds after a bell command is sent during which additional bells
               will be suppressed.  Default is 200.  If set non-zero, additional bells will also
               be suppressed until the server reports that processing of the first bell has been
               completed; this feature is most useful with the visible bell.

       boldColors (class ColorMode)
               Specifies whether to combine bold attribute with colors like the IBM PC, i.e., map
               colors 0 through 7 to colors 8 through 15.  These normally are the brighter
               versions of the first 8 colors, hence bold.  The default is “true”.

       boldFont (class BoldFont)
               Specifies the name of the bold font to use instead of overstriking.  There is no
               default for this resource.

               This font must be the same height and width as the normal font, otherwise it is
               ignored.  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.

               See also the discussion of boldMode and alwaysBoldMode resources.

       boldMode (class BoldMode)
               This specifies whether or not text with the bold attribute should be overstruck to
               simulate bold fonts if the resolved bold font is the same as the normal font.  It
               may be desirable to disable bold fonts when color is being used for the bold
               attribute.

               Note that xterm has one bold font which you may set explicitly.  Xterm attempts to
               derive a bold font for the other font selections (font1 through font7).  If it
               cannot find a bold font, it will use the normal font.  In each case (whether the
               explicit resource or the derived font), if the normal and bold fonts are distinct,
               this resource has no effect.  The default is “true”.

               See the alwaysBoldMode resource which can modify the behavior of this resource.

               Although xterm attempts to derive a bold font for other font selections, the font
               server may not cooperate.  Since X11R6, bitmap fonts have been scaled.  The font
               server claims to provide the bold font that xterm requests, but the result is not
               always readable.  XFree86 introduced a feature which can be used to suppress the
               scaling.  In the X server's configuration file (e.g., “/etc/X11/XFree86” or
               “/etc/X11/xorg.conf”), you can add “:unscaled” to the end of the directory
               specification for the “misc” fonts, which comprise the fixed-pitch fonts that are
               used by xterm.  For example

                   FontPath                 "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/"

               would become

                   FontPath                 "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/:unscaled"

               Depending on your configuration, the font server may have its own configuration
               file.  The same “:unscaled” can be added to its configuration file at the end of
               the directory specification for “misc”.

               The bitmap scaling feature is also used by xterm to implement VT102 double-width
               and double-height characters.

       brokenLinuxOSC (class BrokenLinuxOSC)
               If true, xterm applies a workaround to ignore malformed control sequences that a
               Linux script might send.  Compare the palette control sequences documented in
               console_codes with ECMA-48.  The default is “true”.

       brokenSelections (class BrokenSelections)
               If true, xterm in 8-bit mode will interpret STRING selections as carrying text in
               the current locale's encoding.  Normally STRING selections carry ISO-8859-1
               encoded text.  Setting this resource to “true” violates the ICCCM; it may,
               however, be useful for interacting with some broken X clients.  The default is
               “false”.

       brokenStringTerm (class BrokenStringTerm)
               provides a work-around for some ISDN routers which start an application control
               string without completing it.  Set this to “true” if xterm appears to freeze when
               connecting.  The default is “false”.

               Xterm's state parser recognizes several types of control strings which can contain
               text, e.g.,

               APC (Application Program Command),
               DCS (Device Control String),
               OSC (Operating System Command),
               PM (Privacy Message), and
               SOS (Start of String),

               Each should end with a string-terminator (a special character which cannot appear
               in these strings).  Ordinary control characters found within the string are not
               ignored; they are processed without interfering with the process of accumulating
               the control string's content.  Xterm recognizes these controls in all modes,
               although some of the functions may be suppressed after parsing the control.

               When enabled, this feature allows the user to exit from an unterminated control
               string when any of these ordinary control characters are found:

               control/D (used as an end of file in many shells),
               control/H (backspace),
               control/I (tab-feed),
               control/J (line feed aka newline),
               control/K (vertical tab),
               control/L (form feed),
               control/M (carriage return),
               control/N (shift-out),
               control/O (shift-in),
               control/Q (XOFF),
               control/X (cancel)

       c132 (class C132)
               Specifies whether or not the VT102 DECCOLM escape sequence, used to switch between
               80 and 132 columns, should be honored.  The default is “false”.

       cacheDoublesize (class CacheDoublesize)
               Tells whether to cache double-sized fonts by xterm.  Set this to zero to disable
               double-sized fonts altogether.

       cdXtraScroll (class CdXtraScroll)
               Specifies whether xterm should scroll to a new page when clearing the whole
               screen.  Like tiXtraScroll, the intent of this option is to provide a picture of
               the full-screen application's display on the scrollback before wiping out the
               text.

               Xterm accepts either a keyword (ignoring case) or the number shown in parentheses:

               false (0)
                      nothing is added to the scrollback.

               true (1)
                      the current screen is added to the scrollback.

               trim (2)
                      the current screen is added to the scrollback, but repeated blank lines are
                      trimmed (reduced to a single blank line).

               The default for this resource is “false”.

       charClass (class CharClass)
               Specifies comma-separated lists of character class bindings of the form

                   low[-high][:value].

               These are used in determining which sets of characters should be treated the same
               when doing cut and paste.  See the CHARACTER CLASSES section.

       checksumExtension (class ChecksumExtension)
               DEC VT420 and up support a control sequence DECRQCRA which reports the checksum of
               the characters in a rectangle.  Xterm supports this, with extensions that can be
               configured with bits of the checksumExtension:

               0    do not negate the result.

               1    do not report the VT100 video attributes.

               2    do not omit checksum for blanks.

               3    omit checksum for cells not explicitly initialized.

               4    do not mask cell value to 8 bits or ignore combining characters.

               5    do not mask cell value to 7 bits.

               With the default value (0), xterm matches the behavior of DEC's terminals.  To use
               all extensions, set all bits, “-1” for example.

       cjkWidth (class CjkWidth)
               Specifies whether xterm should follow the traditional East Asian width convention.
               When turned on, characters with East Asian Ambiguous (A) category in UTR 11 have a
               column width of 2.  You may have to set this option to “true” if you have some old
               East Asian terminal based programs that assume that line-drawing characters have a
               column width of 2.  If this resource is false, the mkWidth resource controls the
               choice between the system's wcwidth and xterm's built-in tables.  The default is
               “false”.

       color0 (class Color0)

       color1 (class Color1)

       color2 (class Color2)

       color3 (class Color3)

       color4 (class Color4)

       color5 (class Color5)

       color6 (class Color6)

       color7 (class Color7)
               These specify the colors for the ISO-6429 extension.  The defaults are,
               respectively, black, red3, green3, yellow3, a customizable dark blue, magenta3,
               cyan3, and gray90.  The default shades of color are chosen to allow the colors
               8–15 to be used as brighter versions.

       color8 (class Color8)

       color9 (class Color9)

       color10 (class Color10)

       color11 (class Color11)

       color12 (class Color12)

       color13 (class Color13)

       color14 (class Color14)

       color15 (class Color15)
               These specify the colors for the ISO-6429 extension if the bold attribute is also
               enabled.  The default resource values are respectively, gray50, red, green,
               yellow, a customized light blue, magenta, cyan, and white.

       color16 (class Color16)

       through

       color255 (class Color255)
               These specify the colors for the 256-color extension.  The default resource values
               are for

               •   colors 16 through 231 to make a 6x6x6 color cube, and

               •   colors 232 through 255 to make a grayscale ramp.

               Resources past color15 are available as a compile-time option.  Due to a hardcoded
               limit in the X libraries on the total number of resources (to 400), the resources
               for 256-colors are omitted when wide-character support and luit are enabled.
               Besides inconsistent behavior if only part of the resources were allowed,
               determining the exact cutoff is difficult, and the X libraries tend to crash if
               the number of resources exceeds the limit.  The color palette is still initialized
               to the same default values, and can be modified via control sequences.

               On the other hand, the resource limit does permit including the entire range for
               88-colors.

       colorAttrMode (class ColorAttrMode)
               Specifies whether colorBD, colorBL, colorRV, and colorUL should override ANSI
               colors.  If not, these are displayed only when no ANSI colors have been set for
               the corresponding position.  The default is “false”.

       colorBD (class ColorBD)
               This specifies the color to use to display bold characters if the “colorBDMode”
               resource is enabled.  The default is “XtDefaultForeground”.

               See also the veryBoldColors resource which allows combining bold and color.

       colorBDMode (class ColorAttrMode)
               Specifies whether characters with the bold attribute should be displayed in color
               or as bold characters.  Note that setting colorMode off disables all colors,
               including bold.  The default is “false”.

       colorBL (class ColorBL)
               This specifies the color to use to display blink characters if the “colorBLMode”
               resource is enabled.  The default is “XtDefaultForeground”.

               See also the veryBoldColors resource which allows combining underline and color.

       colorBLMode (class ColorAttrMode)
               Specifies whether characters with the blink attribute should be displayed in
               color.  Note that setting colorMode off disables all colors, including this.  The
               default is “false”.

       colorIT (class ColorIT)
               This specifies the color to use to display italic characters if the “colorITMode”
               resource is enabled.  The default is “XtDefaultForeground”.

               See also the veryBoldColors resource which allows combining attributes and color.

       colorITMode (class ColorAttrMode)
               Specifies whether characters with the italic attribute should be displayed in
               color or as italic characters.  The default is “false”.

               Note that:

               •   Setting colorMode off disables all colors, including italic.

               •   The italicULMode resource overrides colorITMode.

       colorInnerBorder (class ColorInnerBorder)
               Normally, xterm fills the VT100 window's inner border using the background color.

               If the colorInnerBorder resource is enabled, at startup xterm will compare the
               borderColor and the window's background color.  If those are different, xterm will
               use the borderColor resource to fill the inner border.  Otherwise, it will use the
               window's background color.

               The default is “false”.

       colorMode (class ColorMode)
               Specifies whether or not recognition of ANSI (ISO-6429) color change escape
               sequences should be enabled.  The default is “true”.

       colorRV (class ColorRV)
               This specifies the color to use to display reverse characters if the “colorRVMode”
               resource is enabled.  The default is “XtDefaultForeground”.

               See also the veryBoldColors resource which allows combining reverse and color.

       colorRVMode (class ColorAttrMode)
               Specifies whether characters with the reverse attribute should be displayed in
               color.  Note that setting colorMode off disables all colors, including this.  The
               default is “false”.

       colorUL (class ColorUL)
               This specifies the color to use to display underlined characters if the
               “colorULMode” resource is enabled.  The default is “XtDefaultForeground”.

               See also the veryBoldColors resource which allows combining underline and color.

       colorULMode (class ColorAttrMode)
               Specifies whether characters with the underline attribute should be displayed in
               color or as underlined characters.  Note that setting colorMode off disables all
               colors, including underlining.  The default is “false”.

       combiningChars (class CombiningChars)
               Specifies the number of wide-characters which can be stored in a cell to
               overstrike (combine) with the base character of the cell.  This can be set to
               values in the range 0 to 5.  The default is “2”.

       ctrlFKeys (class CtrlFKeys)
               In VT220 keyboard mode (see sunKeyboard resource), specifies the amount by which
               to shift F1-F12 given a control modifier (CTRL).  This allows you to generate key
               symbols for F10-F20 on a Sun/PC keyboard.  The default is “10”, which means that
               CTRL F1 generates the key symbol for F11.

       curses (class Curses)
               Specifies whether or not the last column bug in more(1) should be worked around.
               See the -cu option for details.  The default is “false”.

       cursorBar (class CursorBar)
               Specifies whether to make the cursor a left-bar or a box, unless the
               cursorUnderline resource is set.  The default is “false”.

       cursorBlink (class CursorBlink)
               Specifies whether to make the cursor blink.  Xterm accepts either a keyword
               (ignoring case) or the number shown in parentheses:

               false (0)
                  The cursor will not blink, but may be combined with escape sequences according
                  to the cursorBlinkXOR resource.

               true (1)
                  The cursor will blink, but may be combined with escape sequences according to
                  the cursorBlinkXOR resource.

               always (2)
                  The cursor will always blink, ignoring escape sequences.  The menu entry will
                  be disabled.

               never (3)
                  The cursor will never blink, ignoring escape sequences.  The menu entry will be
                  disabled.

               The default is “false”.

       cursorBlinkXOR (class CursorBlinkXOR)
               Xterm uses two inputs to determine whether the cursor blinks:

               •   The cursorBlink resource (which can be altered with a menu entry).

               •   Control sequences (private mode 12 and DECSCUSR).

               The cursorBlinkXOR resource determines how those inputs are combined:

               false
                    Xterm uses the logical-OR of the two variables.  If either is set, xterm
                    makes the cursor blink.

               true
                    Xterm uses the logical-XOR of the two variables.  If only one is set, xterm
                    makes the cursor blink.

               The default is “true”.

       cursorColor (class CursorColor)
               Specifies the color to use for the text cursor.  The default is
               “XtDefaultForeground”.  By default, xterm attempts to keep this color from being
               the same as the background color, since it draws the cursor by filling the
               background of a text cell.  The same restriction applies to control sequences
               which may change this color.

               Setting this resource overrides most of xterm's adjustments to cursor color.  It
               will still use reverse-video to disallow some cases, such as a black cursor on a
               black background.

       cursorOffTime (class CursorOffTime)
               Specifies the duration of the “off” part of the cursor blink cycle-time in
               milliseconds.  The same timer is used for text blinking.  The default is “300”.

       cursorOnTime (class CursorOnTime)
               Specifies the duration of the “on” part of the cursor blink cycle-time, in
               milliseconds.  The same timer is used for text blinking.  The default is “600”.

       cursorUnderLine (class CursorUnderLine)
               Specifies whether to make the cursor underlined or a box.  If unset (false), the
               cursorBar resource may set the cursor shape.  The default is “false”.

       cutNewline (class CutNewline)
               If “false”, triple clicking to select a line does not include the newline at the
               end of the line.  If “true”, the Newline is selected.  The default is “true”.

       cutToBeginningOfLine (class CutToBeginningOfLine)
               If “false”, triple clicking to select a line selects only from the current word
               forward.  If “true”, the entire line is selected.  The default is “true”.

       decGraphicsID (class DecGraphicsID)
               Allows a way to combine the graphics feature from certain DEC terminals (125, 240,
               241, 330, 340 or 382) with other emulation levels which did not provide the
               graphics feature.  As in decTerminalID, leading non-digit characters are ignored,
               e.g., “vt340” and “340” are the same.

               If the resource value is nonzero, xterm uses that emulation level when
               initializing the drawing region and decoding control sequences to draw graphics.

               The default is “0”.

       decTerminalID (class DecTerminalID)
               Specifies the emulation level (100=VT100, 220=VT220, etc.), used to determine the
               type of response to a DA control sequence.  Leading non-digit characters are
               ignored, e.g., “vt100” and “100” are the same.  The default is “420”.

       defaultString (class DefaultString)
               Specify the character (or string) which xterm will substitute when pasted text
               includes a character which cannot be represented in the current encoding.  For
               instance, pasting UTF-8 text into a display of ISO-8859-1 characters will only be
               able to display codes 0–255, while UTF-8 text can include Unicode values above
               255.  The default is “#” (a single pound sign).

               If the undisplayable text would be double-width, xterm will add a space after the
               “#” character, to give roughly the same layout on the screen as the original text.

       deleteIsDEL (class DeleteIsDEL)
               Specifies what the Delete key on the editing keypad should send when pressed.  The
               resource value is a string, evaluated as a boolean after startup.  Xterm uses it
               in conjunction with the keyboardType resource:

               •   If the keyboard type is “default”, or “vt220” and the resource is either
                   “true” or “maybe” send the VT220-style Remove escape sequence.  Otherwise,
                   send DEL (127).

               •   If the keyboard type is “legacy”, and the resource is “true” send DEL.
                   Otherwise, send the Remove sequence.

               •   Otherwise, if the keyboard type is none of these special cases, send DEL
                   (127).

               The default is “Maybe”.  The resource is allowed to be a non-boolean “maybe” so
               that the popup menu Delete is DEL entry does not override the keyboard type.

       directColor (class DirectColor)
               Specifies whether to handle direct-color control sequences using the X server's
               available colors, or to approximate those using a color map with 256 entries.  A
               “true” value enables the former.  The default is “true”.

       disallowedColorOps (class DisallowedColorOps)
               Specify which features will be disabled if allowColorOps is false.  This is a
               comma-separated list of names.  The default value is
               SetColor,GetColor,GetAnsiColor

               The names are listed below.  Xterm ignores capitalization, but they are shown in
               mixed-case for clarity.

               SetColor
                    Set a specific dynamic color.

               GetColor
                    Report the current setting of a given dynamic color.

               GetAnsiColor
                    Report the current setting of a given ANSI color (actually any of the colors
                    set via ANSI-style controls).

       disallowedFontOps (class DisallowedFontOps)
               Specify which features will be disabled if allowFontOps is false.  This is a
               comma-separated list of names.  The default value is

                   SetFont,GetFont

               The names are listed below.  Xterm ignores capitalization, but they are shown in
               mixed-case for clarity.

               SetFont
                    Set the specified font.

               GetFont
                    Report the specified font.

       disallowedMouseOps (class DisallowedMouseOps)
               Specify which features will be disabled if allowMouseOps is false.  This is a
               comma-separated list of names.  The default value is “*” which matches all names.
               The names are listed below.  Xterm ignores capitalization, but they are shown in
               mixed-case for clarity.

                    while the button is pressed.

               AnyEvent
                    XFree86 xterm any-event mode sends button-clicks as well as motion events
                    whether or not a button is pressed.

                    in UTF-8.  It is deprecated in favor of SGR, but provided for compatibility.

               SGR  This is the recommended extension for mouse-coordinates

               URXVT
                    Like Extended, this is provided for compatibility.

               AlternateScroll
                    This overrides the alternateScroll resource.

       disallowedPasteControls (class DisallowedPasteControls)
               Use this resource to disallow pasting specific C0 control characters when the
               allowPasteControls resource is false (i.e., the default).  This resource defines
               the set of control characters which cannot be pasted, converting each into a
               space.  Other C0 controls are pasted without change.

               The resource value is a comma-separated list of names.  Xterm ignores
               capitalization.  The default value is

                   BS,DEL,ENQ,EOT,ESC,NUL

               The names are listed below:

               C0   all ASCII control characters.

               DEL  ASCII delete

               NL   ASCII line-feed, i.e., “newline” is the same as LF.

       disallowedTcapOps (class DisallowedTcapOps)
               Specify which features will be disabled if allowTcapOps is false.  This is a
               comma-separated list of names.  The default value is

                   SetTcap,GetTcap

               The names are listed below.  Xterm ignores capitalization, but they are shown in
               mixed-case for clarity.

               SetTcap
                    (not implemented)

               GetTcap
                    Report specified function- and other special keys.

       disallowedWindowOps (class DisallowedWindowOps)
               Specify which features will be disabled if allowWindowOps is false.  This is a
               comma-separated list of names, or (for the controls adapted from dtterm the
               operation number).  The default value is

                   1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,11,13,14,18,19,20,21,GetSelection,SetSelection,SetWinLines,SetXprop
                   (i.e., no operations are allowed).

               The names are listed below.  Xterm ignores capitalization, but they are shown in
               mixed-case for clarity.  Where a number can be used as an alternative, it is given
               in parentheses after the name.

               GetChecksum
                    Report checksum of characters in a rectangular region.

                    Refresh the xterm window.

               RestoreWin (1)
                    De-iconify window.

               SetChecksum
                    Modify algorithm for reporting checksum of characters in a rectangular
                    region.

               SetSelection

               SetXprop
                    Set X property on top-level window.

       dynamicColors (class DynamicColors)
               Specifies whether or not escape sequences to change colors assigned to different
               attributes are recognized.

       eightBitControl (class EightBitControl)
               Specifies whether or not control sequences sent by the terminal should be eight-
               bit characters or escape sequences.  The default is “false”.

       eightBitInput (class EightBitInput)
               If “true”, Meta characters (a single-byte character combined with the Meta
               modifier key) input from the keyboard are presented as a single character,
               modified according to the eightBitMeta resource.  If “false”, Meta characters are
               converted into a two-character sequence with the character itself preceded by ESC.
               The default is “true”.

               The metaSendsEscape and altSendsEscape resources may override this feature.
               Generally keyboards do not have a key labeled “Meta”, but “Alt” keys are common,
               and they are conventionally used for “Meta”.  If they were synonymous, it would
               have been reasonable to name this resource “altSendsEscape”, reversing its sense.
               For more background on this, see the meta(3x) function in curses.

               Note that the Alt key is not necessarily the same as the Meta modifier.  The
               xmodmap utility lists your key modifiers.  X defines modifiers for shift, (caps)
               lock and control, as well as 5 additional modifiers which are generally used to
               configure key modifiers.  Xterm inspects the same information to find the modifier
               associated with either Meta key (left or right), and uses that key as the Meta
               modifier.  It also looks for the NumLock key, to recognize the modifier which is
               associated with that.

               If your xmodmap configuration uses the same keycodes for Alt- and Meta-keys, xterm
               will only see the Alt-key definitions, since those are tested before Meta-keys.
               NumLock is tested first.  It is important to keep these keys distinct; otherwise
               some of xterm's functionality is not available.

               The eightBitInput resource is tested at startup time.  If “true”, the xterm tries
               to put the terminal into 8-bit mode.  If “false”, on startup, xterm tries to put
               the terminal into 7-bit mode.  For some configurations this is unsuccessful;
               failure is ignored.  After startup, xterm does not change the terminal between
               8-bit and 7-bit mode.

               As originally implemented in X11, the resource value did not change after startup.
               However (since patch #216 in 2006) xterm can modify eightBitInput after startup
               via a control sequence.  The corresponding terminfo capabilities smm (set meta
               mode) and rmm (reset meta mode) have been recognized by bash for some time.
               Interestingly enough, bash's notion of “meta mode” differs from the standard
               definition (in the terminfo manual), which describes the change to the eighth bit
               of a character.  It happens that bash views “meta mode” as the ESC character that
               xterm puts before a character when a special meta key is pressed.  bash's early
               documentation talks about the ESC character and ignores the eighth bit.

       eightBitMeta (class EightBitMeta)
               This controls the way xterm modifies the eighth bit of a single-byte key when the
               eightBitInput resource is set.  The default is “locale”.

               The resource value is a string, evaluated as a boolean after startup.

               false
                    The key is sent unmodified.

               locale
                    The key is modified only if the locale uses eight-bit encoding.

               true The key is sent modified.

               never
                    The key is always sent unmodified.

               Except for the never choice, xterm honors the terminfo capabilities smm (set meta
               mode) and rmm (reset meta mode), allowing the feature to be turned on or off
               dynamically.

               If eightBitMeta is enabled when the locale uses UTF-8, xterm encodes the value as
               UTF-8 (since patch #183 in 2003).

       eightBitOutput (class EightBitOutput)
               Specifies whether or not eight-bit characters sent from the host should be
               accepted as is or stripped when printed.  The default is “true”, which means that
               they are accepted as is.

       eightBitSelectTypes (class EightBitSelectTypes)
               Override xterm's default selection target list (see SELECT/PASTE) for selections
               in normal (ISO-8859-1) mode.  The default is an empty string, i.e., “”, which does
               not override anything.

       eraseSavedLines (class EraseSavedLines)
               Specifies whether or not to allow xterm extended ED/DECSED control sequences to
               erase the saved-line buffer.  The default is “true”.

       faceName (class FaceName)
               Specify the pattern for scalable fonts selected from the FreeType library if
               support for that library was compiled into xterm.  There is no default value.

               One or more fonts can be specified, separated by commas.  If prefixed with “x:” or
               “x11:” the specification applies to the XLFD font resource.  A “xft:” prefix is
               accepted but unnecessary since a missing prefix for faceName means that it will be
               used for TrueType.  For example,

                   XTerm*faceName: x:fixed,xft:Bitstream Vera Sans Mono

               Two TrueType fonts can be specified in this way.  The first is the primary font;
               the second acts as a manual override to the fontconfig fontset.

               If no faceName resource is specified, or if there is no match for both TrueType
               normal and bold fonts, xterm uses the XLFD (bitmap) font and related resources.

               It is possible to select suitable bitmap fonts using a script such as this:

                   #!/bin/sh
                   FONT=`xfontsel -print`
                   test -n "$FONT" && xfd -fn "$FONT"

               However (even though xfd accepts a “-fa” option to denote FreeType fonts),
               xfontsel has not been similarly extended.  As a workaround, you may try

                   fc-list :scalable=true:spacing=mono: family

               to find a list of scalable fixed-pitch fonts which may be used for the faceName
               resource value.

       faceNameDoublesize (class FaceNameDoublesize)
               Specify a double-width scalable font for cases where an application requires this,
               e.g., in CJK applications.  There is no default value.

               Like the faceName resource, this allows one or more comma-separated font
               specifications to be applied to the wide TrueType or XLFD fonts.

               If the application uses double-wide characters and this resource is not given,
               xterm will use a scaled version of the font given by faceName.

       faceSize (class FaceSize)
               Specify the pointsize for fonts selected from the FreeType library if support for
               that library was compiled into xterm.  The default is “8.0” On the VT Fonts menu,
               this corresponds to the Default entry.

               Although the default is “8.0”, this may not be the same as the pointsize for the
               default bitmap font, i.e., that assigned with the -fn option, or the font
               resource.  The default value of faceSize is chosen to match the size of the
               “fixed” font, making switching between bitmap and TrueType fonts via the font menu
               give comparable sizes for the window.  If your -fn option uses a different
               pointsize, you might want to adjust the faceSize resource to match.

               You can specify the pointsize for TrueType fonts selected with the other size-
               related menu entries such as Medium, Huge, etc., by using one of the following
               resource values.  If you do not specify a value, they default to “0.0”, which
               causes xterm to use the ratio of font sizes from the corresponding bitmap font
               resources to obtain a TrueType pointsize.

               If all of the faceSize resources are set, then xterm will use this information to
               determine the next smaller/larger TrueType font for the larger-vt-font() and
               smaller-vt-font() actions.  If any are not set, xterm will use only the areas of
               the bitmap fonts.

       faceSize1 (class FaceSize1)
               Specifies the pointsize of the first alternative font.

       faceSize2 (class FaceSize2)
               Specifies the pointsize of the second alternative font.

       faceSize3 (class FaceSize3)
               Specifies the pointsize of the third alternative font.

       faceSize4 (class FaceSize4)
               Specifies the pointsize of the fourth alternative font.

       faceSize5 (class FaceSize5)
               Specifies the pointsize of the fifth alternative font.

       faceSize6 (class FaceSize6)
               Specifies the pointsize of the sixth alternative font.

       faceSize7 (class FaceSize7)
               Specifies the pointsize of the seventh alternative font.

       faintIsRelative (class FaintIsRelative)
               Faint colors are derived from the current text color, e.g., the ANSI colors, by
               scaling the red, green and blue components.  Use this resource to specify whether
               that is done relative to the current background color, or as an absolute value.
               The default is “false”.

       fastScroll (class FastScroll)
               Modifies the effect of jump scroll (jumpScroll) by suppressing screen refreshes
               for the special case when output to the screen has completely shifted the contents
               off-screen.  For instance, cat'ing a large file to the screen does this.

       font (class Font)
               Specifies the name of the normal font.  The default is “fixed”.

               See the discussion of the locale resource, which describes how this font may be
               overridden.

               NOTE: some resource files use patterns such as

                   *font: fixed

               which are overly broad, affecting both

                   xterm.vt100.font

               and

                   xterm.vt100.utf8Fonts.font

               which is probably not what you intended.

       font1 (class Font1)
               Specifies the name of the first alternative font, corresponding to “Unreadable” in
               the standard menu.

       font2 (class Font2)
               Specifies the name of the second alternative font, corresponding to “Tiny” in the
               standard menu.

       font3 (class Font3)
               Specifies the name of the third alternative font, corresponding to “Small” in the
               standard menu.

       font4 (class Font4)
               Specifies the name of the fourth alternative font, corresponding to “Medium” in
               the standard menu.

       font5 (class Font5)
               Specifies the name of the fifth alternative font, corresponding to “Large” in the
               standard menu.

       font6 (class Font6)
               Specifies the name of the sixth alternative font, corresponding to “Huge” in the
               standard menu.

       font7 (class Font7)
               Specifies the name of the seventh alternative font, corresponding to “Enormous” in
               the standard menu.

       fontDoublesize (class FontDoublesize)
               Specifies whether xterm should attempt to use font scaling to draw double-sized
               characters.  Some older font servers cannot do this properly, will return
               misleading font metrics.  The default is “true”.  If disabled, xterm will simulate
               double-sized characters by drawing normal characters with spaces between them.

       fontWarnings (class FontWarnings)
               Specify whether xterm should report an error if it fails to load a font:

               0    Never report an error (though the X libraries may).

               1    Report an error if the font name was given as a resource setting.

               2    Always report an error on failure to load a font.

               The default is “1”.

       forceBoxChars (class ForceBoxChars)
               Specifies whether xterm should assume the normal and bold fonts have VT100 line-
               drawing characters:

               •   The fixed-pitch ISO-8859-*-encoded fonts used by xterm normally have the VT100
                   line-drawing glyphs in cells 1–31.  Other fixed-pitch fonts may be more
                   attractive, but lack these glyphs.

               •   When using an ISO-10646-1 font and the wideChars resource is true, xterm uses
                   the Unicode glyphs which match the VT100 line-drawing glyphs.

               If “false”, xterm checks for missing glyphs in the font and makes line-drawing
               characters directly as needed.  If “true”, xterm assumes the font does not contain
               the line-drawing characters, and draws them directly.  The default is “false”.

               The VT100 line-drawing character set (also known as the DEC Special Character and
               Line Drawing Set) is shown in this table.  It includes a few special characters
               which are not used for drawing lines:

       forcePackedFont (class ForcePackedFont)
               Specifies whether xterm should use the maximum or minimum glyph width when
               displaying using a bitmap font.  Use the maximum width to help with proportional
               fonts.  The default is “true”, denoting the minimum width.

       forceXftHeight (class ForceXftHeight)
               Specifies whether xterm should use the given font metrics for TrueType fonts, or
               amend the ascent/descent to total no more than the given font-height.  This
               optional feature is used to work around inconsistencies in FreeType's rounding
               computation.  The default is “false”, denoting the given metrics.

       foreground (class Foreground)
               Specifies the color to use for displaying text in the window.  Setting the class
               name instead of the instance name is an easy way to have everything that would
               normally appear in the text color change color.  The default is
               “XtDefaultForeground”.

       formatOtherKeys (class FormatOtherKeys)
               Overrides the format of the escape sequence used to report modified keys with the
               modifyOtherKeys resource.

               0  send modified keys as parameters for function-key 27 (default).

               1  send modified keys as parameters for CSI u.

       freeBoldBox (class FreeBoldBox)
               Specifies whether xterm should assume the bounding boxes for normal and bold fonts
               are compatible.  If “false”, xterm compares them and will reject choices of bold
               fonts that do not match the size of the normal font.  The default is “false”,
               which means that the comparison is performed.

       geometry (class Geometry)
               Specifies the preferred size and position of the VTxxx window.  There is no
               default for this resource.

       highlightColor (class HighlightColor)
               Specifies the color to use for the background of selected (highlighted) text.  If
               not specified (i.e., matching the default foreground), reverse video is used.  The
               default is “XtDefaultForeground”.

       highlightColorMode (class HighlightColorMode)
               Specifies whether xterm should use highlightTextColor and highlightColor to
               override the reversed foreground/background colors in a selection.  The default is
               unspecified: at startup, xterm checks if those resources are set to something
               other than the default foreground and background colors.  Setting this resource
               disables the check.

               The following table shows the interaction of the highlighting resources,
               abbreviated as shown to fit in this page:

               ────────────────────────────────────────────────

       highlightReverse (class HighlightReverse)
               Specifies whether xterm should reverse the selection foreground and background
               colors when selecting text with reverse-video attribute.  This applies only to the
               highlightColor and highlightTextColor resources, e.g., to match the color scheme
               of xwsh.  If “true”, xterm reverses the colors, If “false”, xterm does not reverse
               colors, The default is “true”.

       highlightSelection (class HighlightSelection)
               Tells xterm whether to highlight all of the selected positions, or only the
               selected text:

               •   If “false”, selecting with the mouse highlights all positions on the screen
                   between the beginning of the selection and the current position.

               •   If “true”, xterm highlights only the positions that contain text that can be
                   selected.

               The default is “false”.

               Depending on the way your applications write to the screen, there may be trailing
               blanks on a line.  Xterm stores data as it is shown on the screen.  Erasing the
               display changes the internal state of each cell so it is not considered a blank
               for the purpose of selection.  Blanks written since the last erase are selectable.
               If you do not wish to have trailing blanks in a selection, use the trimSelection
               resource.

       highlightTextColor (class HighlightTextColor)
               Specifies the color to use for the foreground of selected (highlighted) text.  If
               not specified (i.e., matching the default background), reverse video is used.  The
               default is “XtDefaultBackground”.

       hpLowerleftBugCompat (class HpLowerleftBugCompat)
               Specifies whether to work around a bug in HP's xdb, which ignores termcap and
               always sends ESC F to move to the lower left corner.  “true” causes xterm to
               interpret ESC F as a request to move to the lower left corner of the screen.  The
               default is “false”.

       i18nSelections (class I18nSelections)
               If false, xterm will not request the targets COMPOUND_TEXT or TEXT.  The default
               is “true”.  It may be set to false in order to work around ICCCM violations by
               other X clients.

       iconBorderColor (class BorderColor)
               Specifies the border color for the active icon window if this feature is compiled
               into xterm.  Not all window managers will make the icon border visible.

       iconBorderWidth (class BorderWidth)
               Specifies the border width for the active icon window if this feature is compiled
               into xterm.  The default is “2”.  Not all window managers will make the border
               visible.

       iconFont (class IconFont)
               Specifies the font for the miniature active icon window, if this feature is
               compiled into xterm.  The default is “nil2”.

       indicatorFormat (class IndicatorFormat)
               When displaying the status line using the indicator mode (i.e., selecting DECSSDT
               line type 1), format the status using this resource.

               The default value of the resource displays the version of xterm, the cursor
               position and the time/date:

                   “%{version%}  %{position%}  %{unixtime%}”

               If a “%” marker does not match any of the three special tokens used in the default
               resource setting, xterm uses strftime to interpret it.

       initialFont (class InitialFont)
               Specifies which of the VT100 fonts to use initially.  Values are the same as for
               the set-vt-font action.  The default is “d”, i.e., “default”.

       inputMethod (class InputMethod)
               Tells xterm which type of input method to use.  There is no default method.

       internalBorder (class BorderWidth)
               Specifies the number of pixels between the characters and the window border.  The
               default is “2”.

       italicULMode (class ColorAttrMode)
               Specifies whether characters with the underline attribute should be displayed in
               an italic font or as underlined characters.  It is implemented only for TrueType
               fonts.

       jumpScroll (class JumpScroll)
               Specifies whether or not jump scroll should be used.  This corresponds to the
               VT102 DECSCLM private mode.  The default is “true”.  See fastScroll for a
               variation.

       keepClipboard (class KeepClipboard)
               Specifies whether xterm will reuse the selection data which it copied to the
               clipboard rather than asking the clipboard for its current contents when told to
               provide the selection.  The default is “false”.

               If compiled into xterm, the menu entry Keep Clipboard allows you to change this at
               runtime.

       keepSelection (class KeepSelection)
               Specifies whether xterm will keep the selection even after the selected area was
               touched by some output to the terminal.  The default is “true”.

               The menu entry Keep Selection allows you to change this at runtime.

       keyboardDialect (class KeyboardDialect)
               Specifies the initial keyboard dialect, as well as the default value when the
               terminal is reset.  The value given is the same as the final character in the
               control sequences which change character sets.  The default is “B”, which
               corresponds to US ASCII.

       limitFontsets (class LimitFontsets)
               Limits the number of TrueType fallback fonts (i.e., fontset) which can be tested.
               The default is “50”.  No more than “255” will be scanned.

               This limits the number of fallback fonts which xterm uses to display characters.
               Because TrueType fonts typically are small, xterm may open several fonts for good
               coverage, and may open additional fonts to obtain information.  You can see which
               font-files xterm opens by setting the environment variable XFT_DEBUG to 3.  The
               Xft library and xterm write this debugging trace to the standard output.

               Set this to “0” to disable fallbacks entirely.

       limitFontHeight (class LimitFontHeight)
               When scaling a TrueType font to provide the parts for a double-high character,
               xterm compares the scaled font with the original to ensure that it is taller.

               The default is “10” (percent).

       limitFontWidth (class LimitFontWidth)
               When looking for fallback fonts, xterm checks to see that the the character to be
               displayed is the same width as the primary font.  If a character extends outside
               the font's bounding box, xterm will clip it, to fit.

               This resource controls the amount by which the character can extend outside its
               bounding box before xterm looks further for a better font.

               This resource is also used in scaling TrueType fonts for double-wide characters,
               like limitFontHeight for double-wide characters.

               The default is “10” (percent).

       limitResize (class LimitResize)
               Limits resizing of the screen via control sequence to a given multiple of the
               display dimensions.  The default is “1”.

       limitResponse (class LimitResponse)
               Limits the buffer-size used when xterm replies to various control sequences.  The
               default is “1024”.  The minimum value is “256”.

       locale (class Locale)
               Specifies how to use luit, an encoding converter between UTF-8 and locale
               encodings.  The resource value (ignoring case) may be:

               true
                   Xterm will use the encoding specified by the users' LC_CTYPE locale (i.e.,
                   LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, or LANG variables) as far as possible.  This is realized by
                   always enabling UTF-8 mode and invoking luit in non-UTF-8 locales.

               medium
                   Xterm will follow users' LC_CTYPE locale only for UTF-8, east Asian, and Thai
                   locales, where the encodings were not supported by conventional 8bit mode with
                   changing fonts.  For other locales, xterm will use conventional 8bit mode.

               checkfont
                   If mini-luit is compiled-in, xterm will check if a Unicode font has been
                   specified.  If so, it checks if the character encoding for the current locale
                   is POSIX, Latin-1 or Latin-9, uses the appropriate mapping to support those
                   with the Unicode font.  For other encodings, xterm assumes that UTF-8 encoding
                   is required.

               false
                   Xterm will use conventional 8bit mode or UTF-8 mode according to utf8 resource
                   or -u8 option.

               Any other value, e.g., “UTF-8” or “ISO8859-2”, is assumed to be an encoding name;
               luit will be invoked to support the encoding.  The actual list of supported
               encodings depends on luit.  The default is “medium”.

               Regardless of your locale and encoding, you need an ISO-10646-1 font to display
               the result.  Your configuration may not include this font, or locale-support by
               xterm may not be needed.

               At startup, xterm uses a mechanism equivalent to the
               load-vt-fonts(utf8Fonts, Utf8Fonts) action to load font name subresources of the
               VT100 widget.  That is, resource patterns such as “*vt100.utf8Fonts.font” will be
               loaded, and (if this resource is enabled), override the normal fonts.  If no
               subresources are found, the normal fonts such as “*vt100.font”, etc., are used.

               For instance, you could have this in your resource file:

                   *VT100.font: 12x24
                   *VT100.utf8Fonts.font:9x15

               When started with a UTF-8 locale, xterm would use 9x15, but allow you to switch to
               the 12x24 font using the menu entry “UTF-8 Fonts”.

               The resource files distributed with xterm use ISO-10646-1 fonts, but do not rely
               on them unless you are using the locale mechanism.

       localeFilter (class LocaleFilter)
               Specifies the file name for the encoding converter from/to locale encodings and
               UTF-8 which is used with the -lc option or locale resource.  The help message
               shown by “xterm -help” lists the default value, which depends on your system
               configuration.

               If the encoding converter requires command-line parameters, you can add those
               after the command, e.g.,

                   *localeFilter: xterm-filter -p

               Alternatively, you may put those parameters within a shell script to execute the
               converter, and set this resource to point to the shell script.

               When using a locale-filter, e.g., with the -e option, or the shell, xterm first
               tries passing control via that filter.  If it fails, xterm will retry without the
               locale-filter.  Xterm warns about the failure before retrying.

       logFile (class Logfile)
               Specify the name for xterm's log file.  If no name is specified, xterm will
               generate a name when logging is enabled, as described in the -l option.

       logInhibit (class LogInhibit)
               If “true”, prevent the logging feature from being enabled, whether by the command-
               line option -l, or the menu entry Log to File.  The default is “false”.

       logging (class Logging)
               If “true”, (and if logInhibit is not set) enable the logging feature.  This
               resource is set/updated by the -l option and the menu entry Log to File.  The
               default is “false”.

       loginShell (class LoginShell)
               Specifies whether or not the shell to be run in the window should be started as a
               login shell.  The default is “false”.

       marginBell (class MarginBell)
               Specifies whether or not the bell should be rung when the user types near the
               right margin.  The default is “false”.

       maxGraphicSize (class MaxGraphicSize)
               If xterm is configured to support ReGIS or SIXEL graphics, this resource controls
               the maximum size of a graph which can be displayed.

               The default is “1000x1000” (given as width by height).

               If the resource is “auto” then xterm will use the decGraphicsID resource (or
               decTerminalID if that is not set):

               Result    decGraphicsID
               ────────────────────────
               768x400             125
               800x460             240
               800x460             241
               800x480             330
               800x480             340
               860x750             382
               800x480           other

       metaSendsEscape (class MetaSendsEscape)
               Tells xterm what to do with input-characters modified by Meta:

               •   If “true”, Meta characters (a character combined with the Meta modifier key)
                   are converted into a two-character sequence with the character itself preceded
                   by ESC.  This applies as well to function key control sequences, unless xterm
                   sees that Meta is used in your key translations.

               •   If “false”, Meta characters input from the keyboard are handled according to
                   the eightBitInput resource.

               The default is “False”.

       mkSamplePass (class MkSamplePass)
               If mkSampleSize is nonzero, and mkWidth (and cjkWidth) are false, on startup xterm
               compares its built-in tables to the system's wide character width data to decide
               if it will use the system's data.  It tests the first mkSampleSize character
               values, and allows up to mkSamplePass mismatches before the test fails.  The
               default (for the allowed number of mismatches) is 655 (one percent of the default
               value for mkSampleSize).

       mkSampleSize (class MkSampleSize)
               With mkSamplePass, this specifies a startup test used for initializing wide
               character width calculations.  The default (number of characters to check) is
               65536.

       mkWidth (class MkWidth)
               Specifies whether xterm should use a built-in version of the wide character width
               calculation.  See also the cjkWidth resource which can override this.  The default
               is “false”.

               Here is a summary of the resources which control the choice of wide character
               width calculation:

               cjkWidth   mkWidth   Action
               ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
               false      false     use system tables subject to mkSamplePass
               false      true      use built-in tables
               true       false     use built-in CJK tables
               true       true      use built-in CJK tables

               To disable mkWidth, and use the system's tables, set both mkSampleSize and
               mkSamplePass to “0”.  Doing that may make xterm more consistent with applications
               running in xterm, but may omit some font glyphs whose width correctly differs from
               the system's character tables.

       modifyCursorKeys (class ModifyCursorKeys)
               Tells how to handle the special case where Control-, Shift-, Alt- or Meta-
               modifiers are used to add a parameter to the escape sequence returned by a cursor-
               key.  The default is “2”:

               -1   disables the feature.

               0    uses the old/obsolete behavior, i.e., the modifier is the first parameter.

               1    prefixes modified sequences with CSI.

               2    forces the modifier to be the second parameter if it would otherwise be the
                    first.

               3    marks the sequence with a “>” to hint that it is private.

       modifyFunctionKeys (class ModifyFunctionKeys)
               Tells how to handle the special case where Control-, Shift-, Alt- or Meta-
               modifiers are used to add a parameter to the escape sequence returned by a
               (numbered) function-key.  The default is “2”.  The resource values are similar to
               modifyCursorKeys:

               -1   permits the user to use shift- and control-modifiers to construct function-
                    key strings using the normal encoding scheme.

               0    uses the old/obsolete behavior, i.e., the modifier is the first parameter.

               1    prefixes modified sequences with CSI.

               2    forces the modifier to be the second parameter if it would otherwise be the
                    first.

               3    marks the sequence with a “>” to hint that it is private.

               If modifyFunctionKeys is zero, xterm uses Control- and Shift-modifiers to allow
               the user to construct numbered function-keys beyond the set provided by the
               keyboard:

               Control
                    adds the value given by the ctrlFKeys resource.

               Shift
                    adds twice the value given by the ctrlFKeys resource.

               Control/Shift
                    adds three times the value given by the ctrlFKeys resource.

       modifyKeyboard (class ModifyKeyboard)
               Normally xterm makes a special case regarding modifiers (shift, control, etc.)  to
               handle special keyboard layouts (legacy and vt220).  This is done to provide
               compatible keyboards for DEC VT220 and related terminals that implement user-
               defined keys (UDK).

               The bits of the resource value selectively enable modification of the given
               category when these keyboards are selected.  The default is “0”:

               0    The legacy/vt220 keyboards interpret only the Control-modifier when
                    constructing numbered function-keys.  Other special keys are not modified.

               1    allows modification of the numeric keypad

               2    allows modification of the editing keypad

               4    allows modification of function-keys, overrides use of Shift-modifier for
                    UDK.

               8    allows modification of other special keys

       modifyOtherKeys (class ModifyOtherKeys)
               Like modifyCursorKeys, tells xterm to construct an escape sequence for ordinary
               (i.e., “other”) keys (such as “2”) when modified by Shift-, Control-, Alt- or
               Meta-modifiers.  This feature does not apply to special keys, i.e., cursor-,
               keypad-,  function- or control-keys which are labeled on your keyboard.  Those
               have key symbols which XKB identifies uniquely.

               For example, this feature does not apply to special control-keys (e.g., Escape,
               Tab, Enter, Backspace) Other control keys (e.g., Control-I, Control-M, Control-H)
               may send escape sequences when this feature is enabled.

               The default is “0”:

               0    disables this feature.

               1    enables this feature for keys except for those with well-known behavior,
                    e.g., Tab, Backarrow and some special control character cases which are built
                    into the X11 library, e.g., Control-Space to make a NUL, or Control-3 to make
                    an Escape character.

                    Except for those special cases built into the X11 library, the Shift- and
                    Control- modifiers are treated normally.  The Alt- and Meta- modifiers do not
                    cause xterm to send escape sequences.  Those modifier keys are interpreted
                    according to other resources, e.g., the metaSendsEscape resource.

               2    enables this feature for keys including the exceptions listed.  Xterm ignores
                    the special cases built into the X11 library.  Any shifted (modified)
                    ordinary key sends an escape sequence.  The Alt- and Meta- modifiers cause
                    xterm to send escape sequences.

               The Xterm FAQ has an extended discussion of this feature, with examples:

               https://invisible-island.net/xterm/modified-keys.html

       multiClickTime (class MultiClickTime)
               Specifies the maximum time in milliseconds between multi-click select events.  The
               default is “250” milliseconds.

       multiScroll (class MultiScroll)
               Specifies whether or not scrolling should be done asynchronously.  The default is
               “false”.

       nMarginBell (class Column)
               Specifies the number of characters from the right margin at which the margin bell
               should be rung, when enabled by the marginBell resource.  The default is “10”.

       nameKeymap (class NameKeymap)
               See the discussion of the keymap() action.

       nextEventDelay (class NextEventDelay)
               Specifies a delay time in milliseconds before checking for new X events.  The
               default is “1”.

       numColorRegisters (class NumColorRegisters)
               If xterm is configured to support ReGIS or SIXEL graphics, this specifies the
               number of color-registers which are available.

               If this resource is not specified, xterm uses a value determined by the
               decTerminalID resource:

               Result   decTerminalID
               ───────────────────────
                    4             125
                    4             240
                    4             241
                    4             330
                   16             340
                    2             382
                 1024           other

       numLock (class NumLock)
               If “true”, xterm checks if NumLock is used as a modifier (see xmodmap(1)).  If so,
               this modifier is used to simplify the logic when implementing special NumLock for
               the sunKeyboard resource.  Also (when sunKeyboard is false), similar logic is used
               to find the modifier associated with the left and right Alt keys.  The default is
               “true”.

       oldXtermFKeys (class OldXtermFKeys)
               If “true”, xterm will use old-style (X11R5) escape sequences for function keys F1
               to F4, for compatibility with X Consortium xterm.  Otherwise, it uses the VT100
               codes for PF1 to PF4.  The default is “false”.

               Setting this resource has the same effect as setting the keyboardType to legacy.
               The keyboardType resource is the preferred mechanism for selecting this mode.

               The old-style escape sequences resemble VT220 keys, but appear to have been
               invented for xterm in X11R4.

       on2Clicks (class On2Clicks)

       on3Clicks (class On3Clicks)

       on4Clicks (class On4Clicks)

       on5Clicks (class On5Clicks)
               Specify selection behavior in response to multiple mouse clicks.  A single mouse
               click is always interpreted as described in the Selection Functions section (see
               POINTER USAGE).  Multiple mouse clicks (using the button which activates the
               select-start action) are interpreted according to the resource values of
               on2Clicks, etc.  The resource value can be one of these:

               word
                  Select a “word” as determined by the charClass resource.  See the CHARACTER
                  CLASSES section.

                  If the pointer is on a “word” then xterm searches back to the beginning of the
                  word, and then to the end.

                  If the pointer is not on a “word” then the result depends on whether it is on
                  whitespace (including a newline), or past the end of the line.  In the latter
                  case xterm may select a “word” beginning after the newline, if there is no
                  additional whitespace.

               line
                  Select a line (counting wrapping).

               group
                  Select a group of adjacent lines (counting wrapping).  The selection stops on a
                  blank line, and does not extend outside the current page.

               page
                  Select all visible lines, i.e., the page.

               all
                  Select all lines, i.e., including the saved lines.

               regex
                  Select the best match for the POSIX extended regular expression (ERE) which
                  follows in the resource value:

                  •   Xterm matches the regular expression against a byte array for the entire
                      (possibly wrapped) line.  That byte array may be UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1,
                      depending on the mode in which xterm is running.

                  •   Xterm steps through each byte-offset in this array, keeping track of the
                      best (longest) match.  If more than one match ties for the longest length,
                      the first is used.

                      Xterm does this to make it convenient to click anywhere in the area of
                      interest and cause the regular expression to match the entire word, etc.

                  •   The “^” and “$” anchors in a regular expression denote the ends of the
                      entire line.

                  •   If the regular expression contains backslashes “\” those should be escaped
                      “\\” because the X libraries interpret backslashes in resource strings.

               none
                  No selection action is associated with this resource.  Xterm interprets it as
                  the end of the list.  For example, you may use it to disable triple (and
                  higher) clicking by setting on3Clicks to “none”.

               The default values for on2Clicks and on3Clicks are “word” and “line”,
               respectively.  There is no default value for on4Clicks or on5Clicks, making those
               inactive.  On startup, xterm determines the maximum number of clicks by the
               onXClicks resource values which are set.

       openIm (class OpenIm)
               Tells xterm whether to open the input method at startup.  The default is “true”.

       pointerColor (class PointerColor)
               Specifies the foreground color of the pointer.  The default is
               “XtDefaultForeground”.

       pointerColorBackground (class PointerColorBackground)
               Specifies the background color of the pointer.  The default is
               “XtDefaultBackground”.

       pointerFont (class PointerFont)
               Specifies the font to be used for the pointer.  The shapes specified by
               pointerShape are glyphs in this font.  The resource value default is cursor.

       pointerMode (class PointerMode)
               Specifies when the pointer may be hidden as the user types.  It will be
               redisplayed if the user moves the mouse, or clicks one of its buttons.

               0  never

               1  the application running in xterm has not activated mouse mode.  This is the
                  default.

               2  always.

       pointerShape (class Cursor)
               Specifies the name of the shape of the pointer.  The default is “xterm”.

               Other shapes can be selected.  Here is a list of the “core” (i.e., standard) names
               extracted from <X11/cursorfont.h>:

                   X_cursor, arrow, based_arrow_down, based_arrow_up, boat, bogosity,
                   bottom_left_corner, bottom_right_corner, bottom_side, bottom_tee, box_spiral,
                   center_ptr, circle, clock, coffee_mug, cross, cross_reverse, crosshair,
                   diamond_cross, dot, dotbox, double_arrow, draft_large, draft_small,
                   draped_box, exchange, fleur, gobbler, gumby, hand1, hand2, heart, icon,
                   iron_cross, left_ptr, left_side, left_tee, leftbutton, ll_angle, lr_angle,
                   man, middlebutton, mouse, pencil, pirate, plus, question_arrow, right_ptr,
                   right_side, right_tee, rightbutton, rtl_logo, sailboat, sb_down_arrow,
                   sb_h_double_arrow, sb_left_arrow, sb_right_arrow, sb_up_arrow,
                   sb_v_double_arrow, shuttle, sizing, spider, spraycan, star, target, tcross,
                   top_left_arrow, top_left_corner, top_right_corner, top_side, top_tee, trek,
                   ul_angle, umbrella, ur_angle, watch, xterm

               If you are using a cursor theme, expect it to provide about a third of those
               names, while adding others.

       popOnBell (class PopOnBell)
               Specifies whether the window would be raised when Control-G is received.  The
               default is “false”.

               If the window is iconified, this has no effect.  However, the zIconBeep resource
               provides you with the ability to see which iconified windows have sounded a bell.

       precompose (class Precompose)
               Tells xterm whether to precompose UTF-8 data into Normalization Form C, which
               combines commonly-used accents onto base characters.  If it does not do this,
               accents are left as separate characters.  The default is “true”.

       preeditType (class PreeditType)
               Tells xterm which types of preedit (preconversion) string to display.  The default
               is “OverTheSpot,Root”.

       printAttributes (class PrintAttributes)
               Specifies whether to print graphic attributes along with the text.  A real DEC
               VTxxx terminal will print the underline, highlighting codes but your printer may
               not handle these.

               •   “0” disables the attributes.

               •   “1” prints the normal set of attributes (bold, underline, inverse and blink)
                   as VT100-style control sequences.

               •   “2” prints ANSI color attributes as well.

               The default is “1”.

       printFileImmediate (class PrintFileImmediate)
               When the print-immediate action is invoked, xterm prints the screen contents
               directly to a file.  Set this resource to the prefix of the filename (a timestamp
               will be appended to the actual name).

               The default is an empty string, i.e., “”, However, when the print-immediate action
               is invoked, if the string is empty, then “XTerm” is used.

       printFileOnXError (class PrintFileOnXError)
               If xterm exits with an X error, e.g., your connection is broken when the server
               crashes, it can be told to write the contents of the screen to a file.  To enable
               the feature, set this resource to the prefix of the filename (a timestamp will be
               appended to the actual name).

               The default is an empty string, i.e., “”, which disables this feature.  However,
               when the print-on-error action is invoked, if the string is empty, then
               “XTermError” is used.

               These error codes are handled: ERROR_XERROR, ERROR_XIOERROR and ERROR_ICEERROR.

       printModeImmediate (class PrintModeImmediate)
               When the print-immediate action is invoked, xterm prints the screen contents
               directly to a file.  You can use the printModeImmediate resource to tell it to use
               escape sequences to reconstruct the video attributes and colors.  This uses the
               same values as the printAttributes resource.  The default is “0”.

       printModeOnXError (class PrintModeOnXError)
               Xterm implements the printFileOnXError feature using the printer feature, although
               the output is written directly to a file.  You can use the printModeOnXError
               resource to tell it to use escape sequences to reconstruct the video attributes
               and colors.  This uses the same values as the printAttributes resource.  The
               default is “0”.

       printOptsImmediate (class PrintOptsImmediate)
               Specify the range of text which is printed to a file when the print-immediate
               action is invoked.

               •   If zero (0), then this selects the current (visible screen) plus the saved
                   lines, except if the alternate screen is being used.  In that case, only the
                   alternate screen is selected.

               •   If nonzero, the bits of this resource value (checked in descending order)
                   select the range:

                   8  selects the saved lines.

                   4  selects the alternate screen.

                   2  selects the normal screen.

                   1  selects the current screen, which can be either the normal or alternate
                      screen.

               The default is “9”, which selects the current visible screen plus saved lines,
               with no special case for the alternated screen.

       printOptsOnXError (class PrintOptsOnXError)
               Specify the range of text which is printed to a file when the print-on-error
               action is invoked.  The resource value is interpreted the same as in
               printOptsImmediate.

               The default is “9”, which selects the current visible screen plus saved lines,
               with no special case for the alternated screen.

       printerAutoClose (class PrinterAutoClose)
               If “true”, xterm will close the printer (a pipe) when the application switches the
               printer offline with a Media Copy command.  The default is “false”.

       printerCommand (class PrinterCommand)
               Specifies a shell command to which xterm will open a pipe when the first MC (Media
               Copy) command is initiated.  The default is an empty string, i.e., “”.  If the
               resource value is given as an empty string, the printer is disabled.

       printerControlMode (class PrinterControlMode)
               Specifies the printer control mode.  A “1” selects autoprint mode, which causes
               xterm to print a line from the screen when

               •   you move the cursor off that line with a line feed, form feed or vertical tab
                   character, or

               •   an autowrap occurs.

               Autoprint mode is overridden by printer controller mode (a “2”), which causes all
               of the output to be directed to the printer.  The default is “0”.

       printerExtent (class PrinterExtent)
               Controls whether a print page function will print the entire page (true), or only
               the portion within the scrolling margins (false).  The default is “false”.

       printerFormFeed (class PrinterFormFeed)
               Controls whether a form feed is sent to the printer at the end of a print page
               function.  The default is “false”.

       printerNewLine (class PrinterNewLine)
               Controls whether a newline is sent to the printer at the end of a print page
               function.  The default is “true”.

       privateColorRegisters (class PrivateColorRegisters)
               If xterm is configured to support ReGIS or SIXEL graphics, this controls whether
               xterm allocates separate color registers for each sixel device control string,
               e.g., for DECGCI.  If not true, color registers are allocated only once, when the
               terminal is reset, and color changes  in  any  graphic  affect all graphics.  The
               default is “true”.

       quietGrab (class QuietGrab)
               Controls whether the cursor is repainted when NotifyGrab and NotifyUngrab event
               types are received during change of focus.  The default is “false”.

       regisDefaultFont (class RegisDefaultFont)
               If xterm is configured to support ReGIS graphics, this resource tells xterm which
               font to use if the ReGIS data does not specify one.  No default value is
               specified; xterm accepts a TrueType font specification as in the faceName
               resource.

               If no value is specified, xterm draws a bitmap indicating a missing character.

       regisScreenSize (class RegisScreenSize)
               If xterm is configured to support ReGIS graphics, this resource tells xterm the
               default size (in pixels) for these graphics, which also sets the default
               coordinate space to [0,0] (upper-left) and [width,height] (lower-right).

               The application using ReGIS may use the “A” option of the “S” command to adjust
               the coordinate space or change the addressable portion of the screen.

               Xterm accepts a special resource value “auto”, which tells xterm to use the
               decGraphicsID and decTerminalID resources to set the default size based on the
               hardware terminal's limits.  Those limits are the same as for the maxGraphicSize
               resource.

               The default is “auto”.

       renderFont (class RenderFont)
               If xterm is built with the Xft library, this controls whether the faceName
               resource is used.  The default is “default”.

               The resource values are strings, evaluated as booleans after startup.

               false
                    disable the feature and use the normal (bitmap) font.

               true
                    startup using the TrueType font specified by the faceName and faceSize
                    resource settings.  If there is no value for faceName, disable the feature
                    and use the normal (bitmap) font.

                    After startup, you can still switch to/from the bitmap font using the
                    “TrueType Fonts” menu entry.

               default
                    Enable the “TrueType Fonts” menu entry to allow runtime switching to/from
                    TrueType fonts.  The initial font used depends upon whether the faceName
                    resource is set:

                    •   If the faceName resource is not set, start by using the normal (bitmap)
                        font.  Xterm has a separate compiled-in value for faceName for this
                        special case.  That is normally “mono”.

                    •   If the faceName resource is set, then start by using the TrueType font
                        rather than the bitmap font.

               defaultOff
                    Enable the “TrueType Fonts” menu entry to allow runtime switching to/from
                    TrueType fonts, but allow it to be initially unselected if no faceName
                    resource was given.

       resizeByPixel (class ResizeByPixel)
               Set this “true” to disable hints to the window manager that request resizing by
               character rather than pixels.

               Most window managers provide visual feedback showing the size of a window as you
               resize it, using these hints.  When you maximize xterm, it disables those hints to
               allow the window manager to make better use of fractional rows or columns.
               Setting this resource disables the hints all the time.

               The default is “false”.

       resizeGravity (class ResizeGravity)
               Affects the behavior when the window is resized to be taller or shorter.
               NorthWest specifies that the top line of text on the screen stay fixed.  If the
               window is made shorter, lines are dropped from the bottom; if the window is made
               taller, blank lines are added at the bottom.  This is compatible with the behavior
               in X11R4.  SouthWest (the default) specifies that the bottom line of text on the
               screen stay fixed.  If the window is made taller, additional saved lines will be
               scrolled down onto the screen; if the window is made shorter, lines will be
               scrolled off the top of the screen, and the top saved lines will be dropped.

       retryInputMethod (class RetryInputMethod)
               Tells xterm how many times to retry, in case the input-method server is not
               responding.  This is a different issue than unsupported preedit type, etc.  You
               may encounter retries if your X configuration (and its libraries) are missing
               pieces.  Setting this resource to zero “0” will cancel the retrying.  The default
               is “3”.

       reverseVideo (class ReverseVideo)
               Specifies whether or not reverse video should be simulated.  The default is
               “false”.

               There are several aspects to reverse video in xterm:

               •   The command-line -rv option tells the X libraries to reverse the foreground
                   and background colors.  Xterm's command-line options set resource values.  In
                   particular, the X Toolkit sets the reverseVideo resource when the -rv option
                   is used.

               •   If the user has also used command-line options -fg or -bg to set the
                   foreground and background colors, xterm does not see these options directly.
                   Instead, it examines the resource values to reconstruct the command-line
                   options, and determine which of the colors is the user's intended foreground,
                   etc.  Their actual values are irrelevant to the reverse video function; some
                   users prefer the X defaults (black text on a white background), others prefer
                   white text on a black background.

               •   After startup, the user can toggle the “Enable Reverse Video” menu entry.
                   This exchanges the current foreground and background colors of the VT100
                   widget, and repaints the screen.  Because of the X resource hierarchy, the
                   reverseVideo resource applies to more than the VT100 widget.

               Programs running in an xterm can also use control sequences to enable the VT100
               reverse video mode.  These are independent of the reverseVideo resource and the
               menu entry.  Xterm exchanges the current foreground and background colors when
               drawing text affected by these control sequences.

               Other control sequences can alter the foreground and background colors which are
               used:

               •   Programs can also use the ANSI color control sequences to set the foreground
                   and background colors.

               •   Extensions to the ANSI color controls (such as 16-, 88- or 256-colors) are
                   treated similarly to the ANSI control.

               •   Using other control sequences (the “dynamic colors” feature), a program can
                   change the foreground and background colors.

       reverseWrap (class ReverseWrap)
               Specifies whether or not reverse-wraparound should be enabled.  This corresponds
               to xterm's private mode 45.  The default is “false”.

       rightScrollBar (class RightScrollBar)
               Specifies whether or not the scrollbar should be displayed on the right rather
               than the left.  The default is “false”.

       saveLines (class SaveLines)
               Specifies the number of lines to save beyond the top of the screen when a
               scrollbar is turned on.  The default is “1024”.

       scrollBar (class ScrollBar)
               Specifies whether or not the scrollbar should be displayed.  The default is
               “false”.

       scrollBarBorder (class ScrollBarBorder)
               Specifies the width of the scrollbar border.  Note that this is drawn to overlap
               the border of the xterm window.  Modifying the scrollbar's border affects only the
               line between the VT100 widget and the scrollbar.  The default value is 1.

       scrollKey (class ScrollCond)
               Specifies whether or not pressing a key should automatically cause the scrollbar
               to go to the bottom of the scrolling region.  This corresponds to xterm's private
               mode 1011.  The default is “false”.

       scrollLines (class ScrollLines)
               Specifies the number of lines that the scroll-back and scroll-forw actions should
               use as a default.  The default value is 1.

       scrollTtyOutput (class ScrollCond)
               Specifies whether or not output to the terminal should automatically cause the
               scrollbar to go to the bottom of the scrolling region.  The default is “true”.

       selectToClipboard (class SelectToClipboard)
               Tells xterm whether to use the PRIMARY or CLIPBOARD for SELECT tokens in the
               selection mechanism.  The set-select action can change this at runtime, allowing
               the user to work with programs that handle only one of these mechanisms.  The
               default is “false”, which tells it to use PRIMARY.

       shiftEscape (class ShiftEscape)
               Xterm uses the translations resource to determine how to invoke actions for
               selecting and copying text using the pointer (e.g., a mouse).  It also provides a
               mouse protocol which can be used by applications running in an xterm to detect
               mouse button clicks.

               The mouse protocol causes xterm to send special escape sequences which allow an
               application to determine if modifiers (i.e., one or more of shift, control, alt,
               and meta) were used.

               Xterm provides this mouse protocol by interpreting button- and motion-events in
               the functions which the translations resource calls for selecting and copying
               text:

                      insert-selection
                      select-end
                      select-extend
                      select-start
                      start-extend

               While the mouse protocol is active, xterm reserves most of the mouse button events
               for sending special escape sequences to the application.  Xterm normally allows
               you to use the shift-key to temporarily override this mouse protocol, permitting
               the selection and copying actions to be used.

               The shiftEscape resource setting allows you to tell xterm whether to use the
               shift-key in this way (i.e., overriding the mouse protocol).  Xterm accepts either
               a keyword (ignoring case) or the number shown in parentheses:

               false (0)
                  Mouse protocol does not send special escapes when shift-key is used.

               true (1)
                  Mouse protocol may send special escapes when shift-key is used.

                  At startup, xterm analyzes the translations to see which buttons are used in
                  the (mouse) button-related bindings for selection and copying text.  If the
                  shift-key is not mentioned explicitly in a button's binding, xterm allows that
                  button with shift-key for overriding the mouse protocol.

               always (2)
                  Mouse protocol can always send special escapes when shift-key is used.

               never (3)
                  Mouse protocol will never send special escapes when shift-key is used.

               Xterm interprets a control sequence which can change this setting between “true”
               and “false”.  The default is “false”.

       shiftFonts (class ShiftFonts)
               Specifies whether to enable the actions larger-vt-font() and smaller-vt-font(),
               which are normally bound to the shifted KP_Add and KP_Subtract.  The default is
               “true”.

       showBlinkAsBold (class ShowBlinkAsBold)
               Tells xterm whether to display text with blink-attribute the same as bold.  If
               xterm has not been configured to support blinking text, the default is “true”,
               which corresponds to older versions of xterm, otherwise the default is “false”.

       showMissingGlyphs (class ShowMissingGlyphs)
               Tells xterm whether to display a box outlining places where a character has been
               used that the font does not represent.  The default is “true”.

       showWrapMarks (class ShowWrapMarks)
               For debugging xterm and applications that may manipulate the wrapped-line flag by
               writing text at the right margin, show a mark on the right inner-border of the
               window.  The mark shows which lines have the flag set.

       signalInhibit (class SignalInhibit)
               Specifies whether or not the entries in the Main Options menu for sending signals
               to xterm should be disallowed.  The default is “false”.

       sixelScrolling (class SixelScrolling)
               If xterm is configured to support SIXEL graphics, this resource tells it whether
               to scroll up one line at a time when sixels would be written past the bottom line
               on the window.  The default is “true” which enables scrolling.

               Sixel scrolling is the opposite of DEC Sixel Display Mode (DECSDM): when one is
               on, the other is off.

       sixelScrollsRight (class SixelScrollsRight)
               If xterm is configured to support SIXEL graphics, this resource tells it whether
               to scroll to the right as needed to keep the current position visible rather than
               truncate the plot on the on the right.  The default is “false” which disables
               scrolling.

       tekGeometry (class Geometry)
               Specifies the preferred size and position of the Tektronix window.  There is no
               default for this resource.

       tekInhibit (class TekInhibit)
               Specifies whether or not the escape sequence to enter Tektronix mode should be
               ignored.  The default is “false”.

       tekSmall (class TekSmall)
               Specifies whether or not the Tektronix mode window should start in its smallest
               size if no explicit geometry is given.  This is useful when running xterm on
               displays with small screens.  The default is “false”.

       tekStartup (class TekStartup)
               Specifies whether or not xterm should start up in Tektronix mode.  The default is
               “false”.

       tiXtraScroll (class TiXtraScroll)
               Specifies whether xterm should scroll to a new page when processing the ti or te
               termcap strings, i.e., the private modes 47, 1047 or 1049.  This is only in effect
               if titeInhibit is “true”, because the intent of this option is to provide a
               picture of the full-screen application's display on the scrollback without wiping
               out the text that would be shown before the application was initialized.

               Xterm accepts either a keyword (ignoring case) or the number shown in parentheses:

               false (0)
                      nothing is added to the scrollback.

               true (1)
                      the current screen is added to the scrollback.

               trim (2)
                      the current screen is added to the scrollback, but repeated blank lines are
                      trimmed (reduced to a single blank line).

               The default for this resource is “false”.

       titeInhibit (class TiteInhibit)
               Originally specified whether or not xterm should remove ti and te termcap entries
               (used to switch between alternate screens on startup of many screen-oriented
               programs) from the TERMCAP string.

               TERMCAP is used rarely now, but xterm supports the feature on modern systems:

               •   If set, xterm also ignores the escape sequence to switch to the alternate
                   screen.

               •   Xterm supports terminfo in a different way, supporting composite control
                   sequences (also known as private modes) 1047, 1048 and 1049 which have the
                   same effect as the original 47 control sequence.

               The default for this resource is “false”.

       titleModes (class TitleModes)
               Tells xterm whether to accept or return window- and icon-labels in ISO-8859-1 (the
               default) or UTF-8.  Either can be encoded in hexadecimal:

               •   UTF-8 titles require special treatment, because they may contain bytes which
                   can be mistaken for control characters.  Hexadecimal-encoding is supported to
                   eliminate that possibility.

               •   As an alternative, you could use the allowC1Printable resource, which
                   suppresses xterm's parsing of the relevant control characters (and as a
                   result, treats those bytes as data).

               The default for this resource is “0”.

               Each bit (bit “0” is 1, bit “1” is 2, etc.)  corresponds to one of the parameters
               set by the title modes control sequence:

               0    Set window/icon labels using hexadecimal

               1    Query window/icon labels using hexadecimal

               2    Set window/icon labels using UTF-8 (gives the same effect as the utf8Title
                    resource).

               3    Query window/icon labels using UTF-8

       translations (class Translations)
               Specifies the key and button bindings for menus, selections, “programmed strings”,
               etc.  The translations resource, which provides much of xterm's configurability,
               is a feature of the X Toolkit Intrinsics library (Xt).  See the Actions section.

       trimSelection (class TrimSelection)
               If you set highlightSelection, you can see the text which is selected, including
               any trailing spaces.  Clearing the screen (or a line) resets it to a state
               containing no spaces.  Some lines may contain trailing spaces when an application
               writes them to the screen.  However, you may not wish to paste lines with trailing
               spaces.  If this resource is true, xterm will trim trailing spaces from text which
               is selected.  It does not affect spaces which result in a wrapped line, nor will
               it trim the trailing newline from your selection.  The default is “false”.

       underLine (class UnderLine)
               This specifies whether or not text with the underline attribute should be
               underlined.  It may be desirable to disable underlining when color is being used
               for the underline attribute.  The default is “true”.

       useBorderClipping (class UseBorderClipping)
               Tell xterm whether to apply clipping when useClipping is false.  Unlike
               useClipping, this simply limits text to keep it within the window borders, e.g.,
               as a refinement to the scaleHeight workaround.  The default is “false”.

       useClipping (class UseClipping)
               Tell xterm whether to use clipping to keep from producing dots outside the text
               drawing area.  Originally used to work around for overstriking effects, this is
               also needed to work with some incorrectly-sized fonts.  The default is “true”.

       utf8 (class Utf8)
               This specifies whether xterm will run in UTF-8 mode.  If you set this resource,
               xterm also sets the wideChars resource as a side-effect.  The resource can be set
               via the menu entry “UTF-8 Encoding”.  The default is “default”.

               Xterm accepts either a keyword (ignoring case) or the number shown in parentheses:

               false (0)
                  UTF-8 mode is initially off.  The command-line option +u8 sets the resource to
                  this value.  Escape sequences for turning UTF-8 mode on/off are allowed.

               true (1)
                  UTF-8 mode is initially on.  Escape sequences for turning UTF-8 mode on/off are
                  allowed.

               always (2)
                  The command-line option -u8 sets the resource to this value.  Escape sequences
                  for turning UTF-8 mode on/off are ignored.

               default (3)
                  This is the default value of the resource.  It is changed during initialization
                  depending on whether the locale resource was set, to false (0) or always (2).
                  See the locale resource for additional discussion of non-UTF-8 locales.

               If you want to set the value of utf8, it should be in this range.  Other nonzero
               values are treated the same as “1”, i.e., UTF-8 mode is initially on, and escape
               sequences for turning UTF-8 mode on/off are allowed.

       utf8Fonts (class Utf8Fonts)
               See the discussion of the locale resource.  This specifies whether xterm will use
               UTF-8 fonts specified via resource patterns such as “*vt100.utf8Fonts.font” or
               normal (ISO-8859-1) fonts via patterns such as “*vt100.font”.  The resource can be
               set via the menu entry “UTF-8 Fonts”.  The default is “default”.

               Xterm accepts either a keyword (ignoring case) or the number shown in parentheses:

               false (0)
                      Use the ISO-8859-1 fonts.  The menu entry is enabled, allowing the choice
                      of fonts to be changed at runtime.

               true (1)
                      Use the UTF-8 fonts.  The menu entry is enabled, allowing the choice of
                      fonts to be changed at runtime.

               always (2)
                      Always use the UTF-8 fonts.  This also disables the menu entry.

               default (3)
                      At startup, the resource is set to true or false, according to the
                      effective value of the utf8 resource.

       utf8Latin1 (class Utf8Latin1)
               If true, allow an ISO-8859-1 normal font to be combined with an ISO-10646-1 font
               if the latter is given via the -fw option or its corresponding resource value.
               The default is “false”.

       utf8SelectTypes (class Utf8SelectTypes)
               Override xterm's default selection target list (see SELECT/PASTE) for selections
               in wide-character (UTF-8) mode.  The default is an empty string, i.e., “”, which
               does not override anything.

       utf8Title (class Utf8Title)
               Applications can set xterm's title by writing a control sequence.  Normally this
               control sequence follows the VT220 convention, which encodes the string in
               ISO-8859-1 and allows for an 8-bit string terminator.  If xterm is started in a
               UTF-8 locale, it translates the ISO-8859-1 string to UTF-8 to work with the X
               libraries which assume the string is UTF-8.

               However, some users may wish to write a title string encoded in UTF-8.  The window
               manager is responsible for drawing window titles.  Some window managers (not all)
               support UTF-8 encoding of window titles.  Set this resource to “true” to also set
               UTF-8 encoded title strings using the EWMH properties.

               This feature is available as a menu entry, since it is related to the particular
               applications you are running within xterm.  You can also use a control sequence
               (see the discussion of “Title Modes” in Xterm Control Sequences), to set an
               equivalent flag (which can also be set using the titleModes resource).

               Xterm accepts either a keyword (ignoring case) or the number shown in parentheses:

               false (0)
                      Set only ISO-8859-1 title strings, e.g., using the ICCCM WM_NAME STRING
                      property.  The menu entry is enabled, allowing the choice of title-strings
                      to be changed at runtime.

               true (1)
                      Set both the EWMH (UTF-8 strings) and the ICCCM WM_NAME, etc.  The menu
                      entry is enabled, allowing the choice to be changed at runtime.

               always (2)
                      Always set both the EWMH (UTF-8 strings) and the ICCCM WM_NAME, etc.  This
                      also disables the menu entry.

               default (3)
                      At startup, the resource is set to true or false, according to the
                      effective value of the utf8 resource.

               The default is “default”.

       utf8Weblike (class Utf8Weblike)
               Provide an alternate error-handling scheme for ill-formed UTF-8 as recommended in
               a W3C document.  The Unicode standard does not require this for conformance.  Some
               additional information can be found here:

               https://invisible-island.net/xterm/bad-utf8/

               The default is “false”.

       veryBoldColors (class VeryBoldColors)
               Specifies whether to combine video attributes with colors specified by colorBD,
               colorBL, colorIT, colorRV, and colorUL.  The resource value is the sum of values
               for each attribute:
                 1 for reverse,
                 2 for underline,
                 4 for bold,
                 8 for blink, and
                 512 for italic

               The default is “0”.

       visualBell (class VisualBell)
               Specifies whether or not a visible bell (i.e., flashing) should be used instead of
               an audible bell when Control-G is received.  The default is “false”, which tells
               xterm to use an audible bell.

       visualBellDelay (class VisualBellDelay)
               Number of milliseconds to delay when displaying a visual bell.  Default is 100.
               If set to zero, no visual bell is displayed.  This is useful for very slow
               displays, e.g., an LCD display on a laptop.

       visualBellLine (class VisualBellLine)
               Specifies whether to flash only the current line when displaying a visual bell
               rather than flashing the entire screen: The default is “false”, which tells xterm
               to flash the entire screen.

       vt100Graphics (class VT100Graphics)
               This specifies whether xterm will interpret VT100 graphic character escape
               sequences while in UTF-8 mode.  This feature also applies to code-pages (e.g., for
               VT320 and VT520) and National Replacement Character Sets (VT220 and up), but not
               US-ASCII (the initially selected character set), to avoid conflict with UTF-8.
               The default is “true”, to provide support for various legacy applications.

       wideBoldFont (class WideBoldFont)
               This option specifies the font to be used for displaying bold wide text.  By
               default, it will attempt to use a font twice as wide as the font that will be used
               to draw bold text.  If no double-width font is found, it will improvise, by
               stretching the bold font.

       wideChars (class WideChars)
               Specifies if xterm should respond to control sequences that process 16-bit
               characters.  The default is “false”.

       wideFont (class WideFont)
               This option specifies the font to be used for displaying wide text.  By default,
               it will attempt to use a font twice as wide as the font that will be used to draw
               normal text.  If no double-width font is found, it will improvise, by stretching
               the normal font.

       xftMaxGlyphMemory (class XftMaxGlyphMemory)
               Set the Xft library's limit on glyph memory (typically 4Mb).  When it reaches this
               limit, it discards “randomly chosen” glyphs to make room for new ones.  The
               default is “0” to use Xft's default value.

       xftMaxUnrefFonts (class XftMaxUnrefFonts)
               Set the Xft library's limit on fonts which have been loaded (typically 16), e.g.,
               matching patterns for fallback searches, but are not actually used.  The default
               is “0” to use Xft's default value.

       xftTrackMemUsage (class XftTrackMemUsage)
               Enables glyph memory tracking (introduced in Xft 2.3.5), which allows Xft to
               efficiently discard obsolete data when running short of memory.  The default is
               “false”.

       ximFont (class XimFont)
               This option specifies the font to be used for displaying the preedit string in the
               “OverTheSpot” input method.

               In “OverTheSpot” preedit type, the preedit (preconversion) string is displayed at
               the position of the cursor.  It is the XIM server's responsibility to display the
               preedit string.  The XIM client must inform the XIM server of the cursor position.
               For best results, the preedit string must be displayed with a proper font.
               Therefore, xterm informs the XIM server of the proper font.  The font is be
               supplied by a "fontset", whose default value is “*”.  This matches every font, the
               X library automatically chooses fonts with proper charsets.  The ximFont resource
               is provided to override this default font setting.

   Tek4014 Widget Resources
       The following resources are specified as part of the tek4014 widget (class Tek4014).
       These are specified by patterns such as “XTerm.tek4014.NAME”:

               Specifies what character(s) should follow a GIN report or status report.  The
               possibilities are “none”, which sends no terminating characters, “CRonly”, which
               sends CR, and “CR&EOT”, which sends both CR and EOT.  The default is “none”.

       height (class Height)
               Specifies the height of the Tektronix window in pixels.

       initialFont (class InitialFont)
               Specifies which of the four Tektronix fonts to use initially.  Values are the same

   Scrollbar Resources
       The following resources are useful when specified for the Athena Scrollbar widget:

       background (class Background)
               Specifies the color to use for the background of the scrollbar.

       foreground (class Foreground)
               Specifies the color to use for the foreground of the scrollbar.

       thickness (class Thickness)
               Specifies the width in pixels of the scrollbar (default: 14).

               This may be overridden by the width resource.

       thumb (class Thumb)
               The default “thumb” pixmap used for the scrollbar is a simple checkerboard pattern
               alternating pixels for foreground and background color.

       width (class Width)
               Specifies the width in pixels of the scrollbar (default: 0).

               The widget checks the width resource first, using the thickness value if the width
               is zero.

POINTER USAGE

       Once the VTxxx window is created, xterm allows you to select text and copy it within the
       same or other windows using the pointer or the keyboard.

       A “pointer” could be a mouse, touchpad or similar device.  X applications generally do not
       care, since they see only button events which have

       •   position and

       •   button up/down state

       Xterm can see these events as long as it has focus.

       The keyboard also supplies events, but it is less flexible than the pointer for
       selecting/copying text.

       Events are applied to actions using the translations resource.  See Actions for a complete
       list, and Default Key Bindings for the built-in set of translations resources.

   Selection Functions
       By default, the selection functions are invoked when the pointer buttons are used with no
       modifiers, and when they are used with the “shift” key.  The “shift” key is special,
       because xterm uses that to ensure that selection functions are still available when it is
       programmed to send escape sequences in one of the mouse modes (see Xterm Control
       Sequences, as well as the resource disallowedMouseOps).

       At startup, xterm inspects the translations resource to see which pointer buttons may be
       used in this way, and remembers these buttons when deciding whether to send escape
       sequences or perform selection when those buttons are used with the “shift” modifier.
       Other pointer buttons, e.g., typically those sent for wheel mouse events, are not
       affected.

       The assignment of the functions described below to keys and buttons may be changed through
       the resource database; see Actions below.

       Pointer button one (usually left)
            is used to save text into the cut buffer:

                ~Meta <Btn1Down>:select-start()

            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 selection when the
            button is released:

                <BtnUp>:select-end(SELECT, CUT_BUFFER0) \n

            Normally (but see the discussion of on2Clicks, etc):

            •   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.  Logical words and lines
            selected by double- or triple-clicking may wrap across more than one screen line if
            lines were wrapped by xterm itself rather than by the application running in the
            window.  If the key/button bindings specify that an X selection is to be made, xterm
            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 given selection, if any, otherwise from the cut
            buffer, inserting it as keyboard input:

                ~Ctrl ~Meta <Btn2Up>:insert-selection(SELECT, CUT_BUFFER0)

       Pointer button three (usually right)
            extends the current selection.

                ~Ctrl ~Meta <Btn3Down>:start-extend()

            (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, xterm assumes you really 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 cut buffers are
       globally shared among different applications, you may regard each 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.

   Scrolling
       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.

   Tektronix Pointer
       Unlike the VTxxx window, the Tektronix window does 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 tty(4) for details).

SELECT/PASTE

       X clients provide select and paste support by responding to requests conveyed by the X
       server.  The X server holds data in “atoms” which correspond to the different types of
       selection (PRIMARY, SECONDARY, CLIPBOARD) as well as the similar cut buffer mechanism
       (CUT_BUFFER0 to CUT_BUFFER7).  Those are documented in the ICCCM.

       The ICCCM deals with the underlying mechanism for select/paste.  It does not mention
       highlighting.  The selection is not the same as highlighting.  Xterm (like many
       applications) uses highlighting to show you the currently selected text.  An X application
       may own a selection, which allows it to be the source of data copied using a given
       selection atom Xterm may continue owning a selection after it stops highlighting (see
       keepSelection).

   PRIMARY
       When configured to use the primary selection (the default), xterm can provide the
       selection data in ways which help to retain character encoding information as it is
       pasted.

       The PRIMARY token is a standard X feature, documented in the ICCCM (Inter-Client
       Communication Conventions Manual), which states

          The selection named by the atom PRIMARY is used for all commands that take only a
          single argument and is the principal means of communication between clients that use
          the selection mechanism.

       A user “selects” text on xterm, which highlights the selected text.  A subsequent “paste”
       to another client forwards a request to the client owning the selection.  If xterm owns
       the primary selection, it makes the data available in the form of one or more “selection
       targets”.  If it does not own the primary selection, e.g., if it has released it or
       another client has asserted ownership, it relies on cut-buffers to pass the data.  But
       cut-buffers handle only ISO-8859-1 data (officially - some clients ignore the rules).

   CLIPBOARD
       When configured to use the clipboard (using the selectToClipboard resource), the problem
       with persistence of ownership is bypassed.  Otherwise, there is no difference regarding
       the data which can be passed via selection.

       The selectToClipboard resource is a compromise, allowing CLIPBOARD to be treated almost
       like PRIMARY, unlike the ICCCM, which describes CLIPBOARD in different terms than PRIMARY
       or SECONDARY.  Its lengthy explanation begins with the essential points:

          The selection named by the atom CLIPBOARD is used to hold data that is being
          transferred between clients, that is, data that usually is being cut and then pasted or
          copied and then pasted.  Whenever a client wants to transfer data to the clipboard:

          •   It should assert ownership of the CLIPBOARD.

          •   If it succeeds in acquiring ownership, it should be prepared to respond to a
              request for the contents of the CLIPBOARD in the usual way (retaining the data to
              be able to return it).  The request may be generated by the clipboard client
              described below.

   SELECT
       However, many applications use CLIPBOARD in imitation of other windowing systems.  The
       selectToClipboard resource (and corresponding menu entry Select to Clipboard) introduce
       the SELECT token (known only to xterm) which chooses between the PRIMARY and CLIPBOARD
       tokens.

       Without using this feature, one can use workarounds such as the xclip program to show the
       contents of the X clipboard within an xterm window.

   SECONDARY
       This is used less often than PRIMARY or CLIPBOARD.  According to the ICCCM, it is used

       •   As the second argument to commands taking two arguments (for example, “exchange
           primary and secondary selections”)

       •   As a means of obtaining data when there is a primary selection and the user does not
           want to disturb it

   Selection Targets
       The different types of data which are passed depend on what the receiving client asks for.
       These are termed selection targets.

       When asking for the selection data, xterm tries the following types in this order:

            UTF8_STRING
                 This is an XFree86 extension, which denotes that the data is encoded in UTF-8.
                 When xterm is built with wide-character support, it both accepts and provides
                 this type.

            TEXT the text is in the encoding which corresponds to your current locale.

            COMPOUND_TEXT
                 this is a format for multiple character set data, such as multi-lingual text.
                 It can store UTF-8 data as a special case.

            STRING
                 This is Latin 1 (ISO-8859-1) data.

       The middle two (TEXT and COMPOUND_TEXT) are added if xterm is configured with the
       i18nSelections resource set to “true”.

       UTF8_STRING is preferred (therefore first in the list) since xterm stores text as Unicode
       data when running in wide-character mode, and no translation is needed.  On the other
       hand, TEXT and COMPOUND_TEXT may require translation.  If the translation is incomplete,
       they will insert X's “defaultString” whose value cannot be set, and may simply be empty.
       Xterm's defaultString resource specifies the string to use for incomplete translations of
       the UTF8_STRING.

       You can alter the types which xterm tries using the eightBitSelectTypes or utf8SelectTypes
       resources.  For instance, you might have some specific locale setting which does not use
       UTF-8 encoding.  The resource value is a comma-separated list of the selection targets,
       which consist of the names shown.  You can use the special name I18N to denote the
       optional inclusion of TEXT and COMPOUND_TEXT.  The names are matched ignoring case, and
       can be abbreviated.  The default list can be expressed in several ways, e.g.,

              UTF8_STRING,I18N,STRING
              utf8,i18n,string
              u,i,s

   Mouse Protocol
       Applications can send escape sequences to xterm to cause it to send escape sequences back
       to the computer when you press a pointer button, or even (depending on which escape
       sequence) send escape sequences back to the computer as you move the pointer.

       These escape sequences and the responses, called the mouse protocol, are documented in
       XTerm Control Sequences.  They do not appear in the actions invoked by the translations
       resource because the resource does not change while you run xterm, whereas applications
       can change the mouse prototol (i.e., enable, disable, use different modes).

       However, the mouse protocol is interpreted within the actions that are usually associated
       with the pointer buttons.  Xterm ignores the mouse protocol in the insert-selection action
       if the shift-key is pressed at the same time.  It also modifies a few other actions if the
       shift-key is pressed, e.g., suppressing the response with the pointer position, though not
       eliminating changes to the selected text.

MENUS

       Xterm has four menus, named mainMenu, vtMenu, fontMenu, and tekMenu.  Each menu pops up
       under the correct combinations of key and button presses.  Each menu is divided into
       sections, separated by a horizontal line.  Some menu entries correspond to modes that can
       be altered.  A check mark appears next to a mode that is currently active.  Selecting one
       of these modes toggles its state.  Other menu entries are commands; selecting one of these
       performs the indicated function.

       All of the menu entries correspond to X actions.  In the list below, the menu label is
       shown followed by the action's name in parenthesis.

   Main Options
       The xterm mainMenu pops up when the “control” key and pointer button one are pressed in a
       window.  This menu contains items that apply to both the VTxxx and Tektronix windows.
       There are several sections:

       Commands for managing X events:

              Toolbar (resource toolbar)
                     Clicking on the “Toolbar” menu entry hides the toolbar if it is visible, and
                     shows it if it is not.

              Secure Keyboard (resource securekbd)
                     The Secure Keyboard mode is helpful when typing in passwords or other
                     sensitive data in an unsecure environment (see SECURITY below, but read the
                     limitations carefully).

              Allow SendEvents (resource allowsends)
                     Specifies whether or not synthetic key and button events generated using the
                     X protocol SendEvent request should be interpreted or discarded.  This
                     corresponds to the allowSendEvents resource.

              Redraw Window (resource redraw)
                     Forces the X display to repaint; useful in some environments.

       Commands for capturing output:

              Log to File (resource logging)
                     Captures text sent to the screen in a log file, as in the -l logging option.

              Print-All Immediately (resource print-immediate)
                     Invokes the print-immediate action, sending the text of the current window
                     directly to a file, as specified by the printFileImmediate,
                     printModeImmediate and printOptsImmediate resources.

              Print-All on Error (resource print-on-error)
                     Invokes the print-on-error action, which toggles a flag telling xterm that
                     if it exits with an X error, to send the text of the current window directly
                     to a file, as specified by the printFileOnXError, printModeOnXError and
                     printOptsOnXError resources.

              Print Window (resource print)
                     Sends the text of the current window to the program given in the
                     printerCommand resource.

              Redirect to Printer (resource print-redir)
                     This sets the printerControlMode to 0 or 2.  You can use this to turn the
                     printer on as if an application had sent the appropriate control sequence.
                     It is also useful for switching the printer off if an application turns it
                     on without resetting the print control mode.

              XHTML Screen Dump (resource dump-html)
                     Available only when compiled with screen dump support.  Invokes the
                     dump-html action.  This creates an XHTML file matching the contents of the
                     current screen, including the border, internal border, colors and most
                     attributes: bold, italic, underline, faint, strikeout, reverse; blink is
                     rendered as white-on-red; double underline is rendered the same as underline
                     since there is no portable equivalent in CSS 2.2.

                     The font is whatever your browser uses for preformatted (<pre>) elements.
                     The XHTML file references a cascading style sheet (CSS) named “xterm.css”
                     that you can create to select a font or override properties.

                     The following CSS selectors are used with the expected default behavior in
                     the XHTML file:

                     .ul for underline,
                     .bd for bold,
                     .it for italic,
                     .st for strikeout,
                     .lu for strikeout combined with underline.

                     In addition you may use

                     .ev to affect even numbered lines and
                     .od to affect odd numbered lines.

                     Attributes faint, reverse and blink are implemented as style attributes
                     setting color properties.  All colors are specified as RGB percentages in
                     order to support displays with 10 bits per RGB.

                     The name of the file will be

                         xterm.yyyy.MM.dd.hh.mm.ss.xhtml

                     where yyyy, MM, dd, hh, mm and ss are the year, month, day, hour, minute and
                     second when the screen dump was performed (the file is created in the
                     directory xterm is started in, or the home directory for a login xterm).

                     The dump-html action can also be triggered using the Media Copy control
                     sequence CSI 1 0 i, for example from a shell script with

                         printf '\033[10i'

                     Only the UTF-8 encoding is supported.

              SVG Screen Dump (resource dump-svg)
                     Available only when compiled with screen dump support.  Invokes the dump-svg
                     action.  This creates a Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) file matching the
                     contents of the current screen, including the border, internal border,
                     colors and most attributes: bold, italic, underline, double underline,
                     faint, strikeout, reverse; blink is rendered as white-on-red.  The font is
                     whatever your renderer uses for the monospace font-family.  All colors are
                     specified as RGB percentages in order to support displays with 10 bits per
                     RGB.

                     The name of the file will be

                         xterm.yyyy.MM.dd.hh.mm.ss.svg

                     where yyyy, MM, dd, hh, mm and ss are the year, month, day, hour, minute and
                     second when the screen dump was performed (the file is created in the
                     directory xterm is started in, or the home directory for a login xterm).

                     The dump-svg action can also be triggered using the Media Copy control
                     sequence CSI 1 1 i, for example from a shell script with

                         printf '\033[11i'

                     Only the UTF-8 encoding is supported.

       Modes for setting keyboard style:

              8-Bit Controls (resource 8-bit-control)
                     Enabled for VT220 emulation, this controls whether xterm will send 8-bit
                     control sequences rather than using 7-bit (ASCII) controls, e.g., sending a
                     byte in the range 128–159 rather than the escape character followed by a
                     second byte.  Xterm always interprets both 8-bit and 7-bit control sequences
                     (see Xterm Control Sequences).  This corresponds to the eightBitControl
                     resource.

              Backarrow Key (BS/DEL) (resource backarrow key)
                     Modifies the behavior of the backarrow key, making it transmit either a
                     backspace (8) or delete (127) character.  This corresponds to the
                     backarrowKey resource.

              Alt/NumLock Modifiers (resource num-lock)
                     Controls the treatment of Alt- and NumLock-key modifiers.  This corresponds
                     to the numLock resource.

              Meta Sends Escape (resource meta-esc)
                     Controls whether Meta keys are converted into a two-character sequence with
                     the character itself preceded by ESC.  This corresponds to the
                     metaSendsEscape resource.

              Delete is DEL (resource delete-is-del)
                     Controls whether the Delete key on the editing keypad should send DEL (127)
                     or the VT220-style Remove escape sequence.  This corresponds to the
                     deleteIsDEL resource.

              Old Function-Keys (resource oldFunctionKeys)

              HP Function-Keys (resource hpFunctionKeys)

              SCO Function-Keys (resource scoFunctionKeys)

              Sun Function-Keys (resource sunFunctionKeys)

              VT220 Keyboard (resource sunKeyboard)
                     These act as a radio-button, selecting one style for the keyboard layout.
                     The layout corresponds to more than one resource setting: sunKeyboard,
                     sunFunctionKeys, scoFunctionKeys and hpFunctionKeys.

       Commands for process signalling:

              Send STOP Signal (resource suspend)

              Send CONT Signal (resource continue)

              Send INT Signal (resource interrupt)

              Send HUP Signal (resource hangup)

              Send TERM Signal (resource terminate)

              Send KILL Signal (resource kill)
                     These send the SIGTSTP, SIGCONT, SIGINT, SIGHUP, SIGTERM and SIGKILL signals
                     respectively, to the process group of the process running under xterm
                     (usually the shell).  The SIGCONT function is especially useful if the user
                     has accidentally typed CTRL-Z, suspending the process.

              Quit (resource quit)
                     Stop processing X events except to support the -hold option, and then send a
                     SIGHUP signal to the process group of the process running under xterm
                     (usually the shell).

   VT Options
       The xterm vtMenu sets various modes in the VTxxx emulation, and is popped up when the
       “control” key and pointer button two are pressed in the VTxxx window.

       VTxxx Modes:

              Enable Scrollbar (resource scrollbar)
                     Enable (or disable) the scrollbar.  This corresponds to the -sb option and
                     the scrollBar resource.

              Enable Jump Scroll (resource jumpscroll)
                     Enable (or disable) jump scrolling.  This corresponds to the -j option and
                     the jumpScroll resource.

              Enable Reverse Video (resource reversevideo)
                     Enable (or disable) reverse-video.  This corresponds to the -rv option and
                     the reverseVideo resource.

              Enable Auto Wraparound (resource autowrap)
                     Enable (or disable) auto-wraparound.  This corresponds to the -aw option and
                     the autoWrap resource.

              Enable Reverse Wraparound (resource reversewrap)
                     Enable (or disable) reverse wraparound.  This corresponds to the -rw option
                     and the reverseWrap resource.

              Enable Auto Linefeed (resource autolinefeed)
                     Enable (or disable) auto-linefeed.  This is the VT102 NEL function, which
                     causes the emulator to emit a line feed after each carriage return.  There
                     is no corresponding command-line option or resource setting.

              Enable Application Cursor Keys (resource appcursor)
                     Enable (or disable) application cursor keys.  This corresponds to the
                     appcursorDefault resource.  There is no corresponding command-line option.

              Enable Application Keypad (resource appkeypad)
                     Enable (or disable) application keypad keys.  This corresponds to the
                     appkeypadDefault resource.  There is no corresponding command-line option.

              Scroll to Bottom on Key Press (resource scrollkey)
                     Enable (or disable) scrolling to the bottom of the scrolling region on a
                     keypress.  This corresponds to the -sk option and the scrollKey resource.

                     As a special case, the XON / XOFF keys (control/S and control/Q) are
                     ignored.

              Scroll to Bottom on Tty Output (resource scrollttyoutput)
                     Enable (or disable) scrolling to the bottom of the scrolling region on
                     output to the terminal.  This corresponds to the -si option and the
                     scrollTtyOutput resource.

              Allow 80/132 Column Switching (resource allow132)
                     Enable (or disable) switching between 80 and 132 columns.  This corresponds
                     to the -132 option and the c132 resource.

              Keep Selection (resource keepSelection)
                     Tell xterm whether to disown the selection when it stops highlighting it,
                     e.g., when an application modifies the display so that it no longer matches
                     the text which has been highlighted.  As long as xterm continues to own the
                     selection for a given atom, it can provide the corresponding text to other
                     clients which request the selection using that atom.

                     This corresponds to the keepSelection resource.  There is no corresponding
                     command-line option.

                     Telling xterm to not disown the selection does not prevent other
                     applications from taking ownership of the selection.  When that happens,
                     xterm receives notification that this has happened, and removes its
                     highlighting.

                     See SELECT/PASTE for more information.

              Select to Clipboard (resource selectToClipboard)
                     Tell xterm whether to use the PRIMARY or CLIPBOARD for SELECT tokens in the
                     translations resource which maps keyboard and mouse actions to select/paste
                     actions.

                     This corresponds to the selectToClipboard resource.  There is no
                     corresponding command-line option.

                     The keepSelection resource setting applies to CLIPBOARD selections just as
                     it does for PRIMARY selections.  However some window managers treat the
                     clipboard specially.  For instance, XQuartz's synchronization between the
                     OSX pasteboard and the X11 clipboard causes applications to lose the
                     selection ownership for that atom when a selection is copied to the
                     clipboard.

                     See SELECT/PASTE for more information.

              Enable Visual Bell (resource visualbell)
                     Enable (or disable) visible bell (i.e., flashing) instead of an audible
                     bell.  This corresponds to the -vb option and the visualBell resource.

              Enable Bell Urgency (resource bellIsUrgent)
                     Enable (or disable) Urgency window manager hint when Control-G is received.
                     This corresponds to the bellIsUrgent resource.

              Enable Pop on Bell (resource poponbell)
                     Enable (or disable) raising of the window when Control-G is received.  This
                     corresponds to the -pop option and the popOnBell resource.

              Enable Blinking Cursor (resource cursorblink)
                     Enable (or disable) the blinking-cursor feature.  This corresponds to the
                     -bc option and the cursorBlink resource.  There are also escape sequences
                     (see Xterm Control Sequences):

                     •   If the cursorBlinkXOR resource is set, the menu entry and the escape
                         sequence states will be XOR'd: if both are enabled, the cursor will not
                         blink, if only one is enabled, the cursor will blink.

                     •   If the cursorBlinkXOR is not set; if either the menu entry or the escape
                         sequence states are set, the cursor will blink.

                     In either case, the checkbox for the menu shows the state of the cursorBlink
                     resource, which may not correspond to what the cursor is actually doing.

              Enable Alternate Screen Switching (resource titeInhibit)
                     Enable (or disable) switching between the normal and alternate screens.
                     This corresponds to the titeInhibit resource.  There is no corresponding
                     command-line option.

              Enable Active Icon (resource activeicon)
                     Enable (or disable) the active-icon feature.  This corresponds to the -ai
                     option and the activeIcon resource.

              Sixel Scrolling (resource sixelScrolling)
                     This corresponds to the sixelScrolling resource.  It can also be turned off
                     and on using the private mode DECSDM (Sixel Display Mode).

                     •   When enabled, xterm draws sixel graphics at the current text cursor
                         location, scrolling the image vertically if it is larger than the
                         screen, and leaving the text cursor at the same column in the next
                         complete line after the image when returning to text mode

                         This is the default, which corresponds to the reset state of DECSDM.

                     •   When disabled, xterm draws sixel graphics starting at the upper left of
                         the screen, cropping to fit the screen, and does not alter the text
                         cursor location.

                         This corresponds to the set state of DECSDM.

                     There is no corresponding command-line option.

              Private Color Registers (resource privateColorRegisters)
                     If xterm is configured to support ReGIS graphics, this controls whether a
                     private color palette can be used.

                     When enabled, each graphic image uses a separate set of color registers, so
                     that it essentially has a private palette (this is the default).  If it is
                     not set, all graphics images share a common set of registers which is how
                     sixel and ReGIS graphics worked on actual hardware.  The default is likely a
                     more useful mode on modern TrueColor hardware.

                     This corresponds to the privateColorRegisters resource.  There is no
                     corresponding command-line option.

       VTxxx Commands:

              Do Soft Reset (resource softreset)
                     This corresponds to the VT220 DECSTR control sequence.  A soft reset leaves
                     the contents of the window intact, but resets modes which affect subsequent
                     updates:

                     Soft reset differs from full reset in a minor detail:

                     •   Set the saved cursor position to the upper-left corner of the window.

                     •   Exit from the status-line without erasing it.

                     Both soft/full resets do the following:

                     •   Make the cursor visible, with shape reset according to the
                         cursorUnderLine and cursorBar resources.

                     •   Enable or disable the cursor-blinking state according to the cursorBlink
                         resource, and set the Enable Blinking Cursor menu checkmark to match.

                     •   Reset video attributes, e.g., bold, italic, underline, blink.

                     •   Reset the ANSI color mode to the xterm default foreground and
                         background.

                     •   Reset the 256-color palette to its initial state.

                     •   Reset the selected character set, e.g., ASCII, alternate character set.
                         The UTF-8 modes are not changed.

                     •   Reset ECMA-48 KAM.

                     •   Reset DECCKM and DECKPAM per resources appcursorDefault and
                         appkeypadDefault.

                     •   Reset the key-modifier modes to the values set by resources
                         formatOtherKeys, modifyCursorKeys, modifyFunctionKeys, modifyKeyboard,
                         and modifyOtherKeys.

                     •   Reset origin mode (DECOM).

                     •   Reset all margins (i.e., top/bottom and left/right).  This can be
                         convenient when some program has left the scroll regions set incorrectly
                         (often a problem when using VMS or TOPS-20).

                     •   Set autowrap and reverse wrapping according to the resource values
                         autoWrap and reverseWrap.

                     •   Reset checksum extension to the checksumExtension resource.

              Do Full Reset (resource hardreset)
                     A full reset does this in addition to a soft reset:

                     •   Clear the window.

                     •   Reset tab stops to every eight columns.

                     •   Reset the screen to match the reverseVideo resource.

                     •   Resize the screen to 80 columns if 132-column mode was initially enabled
                         with the c132 resource.

                     •   Reset scrolling (jump versus smooth) per the jumpScroll resource.

                     •   Enable linefeed mode (ECMA-48 LNM) and send/receive mode (ECMA-48 SRM).

                     •   Reset DEC user-defined keys (DECUDK).

                     •   Disable application mode for cursor- and keypad-keys (DECCKM, DECKPAM).

                     •   Reset menu entry 8-bit Controls, per resource eightBitControl.

                     •   Reset interpretation of the backarrow key, per initial resource
                         settings.

                     •   Set the keyboard type according to the resources keyboardType,
                         hpFunctionKeys, scoFunctionKeys, sunFunctionKeys, tcapFunctionKeys,
                         oldXtermFKeys and sunKeyboard.

                     •   Turn mouse tracking off.

                     •   Reset title and pointer modes per resources titleModes and pointerMode.

                     •   Reset the readline and bracketed paste modes.

                     •   Discard all SIXEL and ReGIS graphics data from memory.

                     •   Reset sixelScrolling and privateColorRegisters from initial resource
                         values.

                     •   Set DECSDM if the sixelScrolling resource is true.  Otherwise, reset
                         DECSDM.

                     A full reset does this, unlike a soft reset:

                     •   Move the cursor to the upper-left corner of the window, and then save
                         that position.

                     •   Hide the status-line, setting its display-type to “none”.

              Reset and Clear Saved Lines (resource clearsavedlines)
                     Perform a full reset, and also clear the saved lines.

                     This corresponds to the VT102 RIS control sequence, with a few obvious
                     differences.  For example, your session is not disconnected as a real VT102
                     would do.

       Commands for setting the current screen:

              Show Tek Window (resource tekshow)
                     When enabled, pops the Tektronix 4014 window up (makes it visible).  When
                     disabled, hides the Tektronix 4014 window.

              Switch to Tek Mode (resource tekmode)
                     When enabled, pops the Tektronix 4014 window up if it is not already
                     visible, and switches the input stream to that window.  When disabled, hides
                     the Tektronix 4014 window and switches input back to the VTxxx window.

              Hide VT Window (resource vthide)
                     When enabled, hides the VTxxx window, shows the Tektronix 4014 window if it
                     was not already visible and switches the input stream to that window.  When
                     disabled, shows the VTxxx window, and switches the input stream to that
                     window.

              Show Alternate Screen (resource altscreen)
                     When enabled, shows the alternate screen.  When disabled, shows the normal
                     screen.  Note that the normal screen may have saved lines; the alternate
                     screen does not.

   VT Fonts
       The xterm fontMenu pops up when the “control” key and pointer button three are pressed in
       a window.  It sets the font used in the VTxxx window, or modifies the way the font is
       specified or displayed.  There are several sections.

       The first section allows you to select the font from a set of alternatives:

              Default (resource fontdefault)
                     Set the font to the default, i.e., that given by the *VT100.font resource.

              Unreadable (resource font1)
                     Set the font to that given by the *VT100.font1 resource.

              Tiny (resource font2)
                     Set the font to that given by the *VT100.font2 resource.

              Small (resource font3)
                     Set the font to that given by the *VT100.font3 resource.

              Medium (resource font4)
                     Set the font to that given by the *VT100.font4 resource.

              Large (resource font5)
                     Set the font to that given by the *VT100.font5 resource.

              Huge (resource font6)
                     Set the font to that given by the *VT100.font6 resource.

              Enormous (resource font7)
                     Set the font to that given by the *VT100.font7 resource.

              Escape Sequence (resource fontescape)
                     This allows you to set the font last specified by the Set Font escape
                     sequence (see Xterm Control Sequences).

              Selection (resource fontsel)
                     This allows you to set the font specified the current selection as a font
                     name (if the PRIMARY selection is owned).

       The second section allows you to modify the way it is displayed:

              Bold Fonts (resource allow-bold-fonts)
                     This is normally checked (enabled).  When unchecked, xterm will not use bold
                     fonts.  The setting corresponds to the allowBoldFonts resource.

              Line-Drawing Characters (resource font-linedrawing)
                     When set, tells xterm to draw its own line-drawing characters.  Otherwise it
                     relies on the font containing these.  Compare to the forceBoxChars resource.

              Packed Font (resource font-packed)
                     When set, tells xterm to use the minimum glyph-width from a font when
                     displaying characters.  Use the maximum width (unchecked) to help display
                     proportional fonts.  Compare to the forcePackedFont resource.

              Doublesized Characters (resource font-doublesize)
                     When set, xterm may ask the font server to produce scaled versions of the
                     normal font, for VT102 double-size characters.

       The third section allows you to modify the way it is specified:

              TrueType Fonts (resource render-font)
                     If the renderFont and corresponding resources were set, this is a further
                     control whether xterm will actually use the Xft library calls to obtain a
                     font.

              UTF-8 Encoding (resource utf8-mode)
                     This controls whether xterm uses UTF-8 encoding of input/output.  It is
                     useful for temporarily switching xterm to display text from an application
                     which does not follow the locale settings.  It corresponds to the utf8
                     resource.

              UTF-8 Fonts (resource utf8-fonts)
                     This controls whether xterm uses UTF-8 fonts for display.  It is useful for
                     temporarily switching xterm to display text from an application which does
                     not follow the locale settings.  It combines the utf8 and utf8Fonts
                     resources, subject to the locale resource.

              UTF-8 Titles (resource utf8-title)
                     This controls whether xterm accepts UTF-8 encoding for title control
                     sequences.  It corresponds to the utf8Fonts resource.

                     Initially the checkmark is set according to both the utf8 and utf8Fonts
                     resource values.  If the latter is set to “always”, the checkmark is
                     disabled.  Likewise, if there are no fonts given in the utf8Fonts
                     subresources, then the checkmark also is disabled.

                     The standard XTerm app-defaults file defines both sets of fonts, while the
                     UXTerm app-defaults file defines only one set.  Assuming the standard app-
                     defaults files, this command will launch xterm able to switch between UTF-8
                     and ISO-8859-1 encoded fonts:

                         uxterm -class XTerm

       The fourth section allows you to enable or disable special operations which can be
       controlled by writing escape sequences to the terminal.  These are disabled if the
       SendEvents feature is enabled:

              Allow Color Ops (resource allow-color-ops)
                     This corresponds to the allowColorOps resource.  Enable or disable control
                     sequences that set/query the colors.

              Allow Font Ops (resource allow-font-ops)
                     This corresponds to the allowFontOps resource.  Enable or disable control
                     sequences that set/query the font.

              Allow Mouse Ops (resource allow-mouse-ops)
                     Enable or disable control sequences that cause the terminal to send escape
                     sequences on pointer-clicks and movement.  This corresponds to the
                     allowMouseOps resource.

              Allow Tcap Ops (resource allow-tcap-ops)
                     Enable or disable control sequences that query the terminal's notion of its
                     function-key strings, as termcap or terminfo capabilities.  This corresponds
                     to the allowTcapOps resource.

              Allow Title Ops (resource allow-title-ops)
                     Enable or disable control sequences that modify the window title or icon
                     name.  This corresponds to the allowTitleOps resource.

              Allow Window Ops (resource allow-window-ops)
                     Enable or disable extended window control sequences (as used in dtterm).
                     This corresponds to the allowWindowOps resource.

   Tek Options
       The xterm tekMenu 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.

              Large Characters (resource tektextlarge)

              #2 Size Characters (resource tektext2)

              #3 Size Characters (resource tektext3)

              Small Characters (resource tektextsmall)

       Commands:

              PAGE (resource tekpage)
                     Simulates the Tektronix “PAGE” button by

                     •   clearing the window,

                     •   cancelling the graphics input-mode, and

                     •   moving the cursor to the home position.

              RESET (resource tekreset)
                     Unlike the similarly-named Tektronix “RESET” button, this does everything
                     that PAGE does as well as resetting the line-type and font-size to their
                     default values.

              COPY (resource tekcopy)
                     Simulates the Tektronix “COPY” button (which makes a hard-copy of the
                     screen) by writing the information to a text file.

       Windows:

              Show VT Window (resource vtshow)

              Switch to VT Mode (resource vtmode)

              Hide Tek Window (resource tekhide)

SECURITY

       X environments differ in their security consciousness.

       •   Most servers, run under xdm, 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
           xhost(1)), then if you enable access for a host and other users are also permitted to
           run clients on that same host, it is possible that someone can run an application
           which uses the basic services of the X protocol to snoop on your activities,
           potentially capturing a transcript of everything you type at the keyboard.

       •   Any process which has access to your X display can manipulate it in ways that you
           might not anticipate, even redirecting your keyboard to itself and sending events to
           your application's windows.  This is true even with the “magic cookie” authorization
           scheme.  While the allowSendEvents provides some protection against rogue applications
           tampering with your programs, guarding against a snooper is harder.

       •   The X input extension for instance allows an application to bypass all of the other
           (limited) authorization and security features, including the GrabKeyboard protocol.

       •   The possibility of an application spying on your keystrokes 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 than is provided by X.

       Subject to all of these caveats, a simple mechanism exists for protecting keyboard input
       in xterm.

       The xterm menu (see MENUS above) contains a Secure Keyboard entry which, when enabled,
       attempts to ensure that all keyboard input is directed only to xterm (using the
       GrabKeyboard protocol request).  When an application prompts you for a password (or other
       sensitive data), you can enable Secure Keyboard using the menu, type in the data, and then
       disable Secure Keyboard using the menu again.

       •   This ensures that you know which window is accepting your keystrokes.

       •   It cannot ensure that there are no processes which have access to your X display that
           might be observing the keystrokes as well.

       Only one X client at a time can grab the keyboard, so when you attempt to enable Secure
       Keyboard it may fail.  In this case, the bell will sound.  If the Secure Keyboard
       succeeds, the foreground and background colors will be exchanged (as if you selected the
       Enable Reverse Video entry in the Modes menu); they will be exchanged again when you exit
       secure mode.  If the colors do not switch, then you should be very 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 before 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.

       Secure Keyboard 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 Secure Keyboard 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.

CHARACTER CLASSES

       Clicking the left pointer button twice in rapid succession (double-clicking) causes all
       characters of the same class (e.g., letters, white space, punctuation) to be selected as a
       “word”.  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 charClass (class CharClass)
       resource.

       This resource is a series of comma-separated range:value pairs.

       •   The range is either a single number or low-high in the range of 0 to 65535,
           corresponding to the code for the character or characters to be set.

       •   The value is arbitrary.  For example, the default table uses the character number of
           the first character occurring in the set.  When not in UTF-8 mode, only the first 256
           entries of this table will be used.

       The default table starts as follows -

           static int charClass[256] = {
           /* NUL  SOH  STX  ETX  EOT  ENQ  ACK  BEL */
               32,   1,   1,   1,   1,   1,   1,   1,

              For example, the string “33:48,37:48,45-47:48,38:48” indicates that the exclamation
              mark, percent sign, dash, period, slash, and ampersand characters should be treated
              the same way as characters and numbers.  This is useful for cutting and pasting
              electronic mailing addresses and filenames.

KEY BINDINGS

       It is possible to rebind keys (or sequences of keys) to arbitrary strings for input, by
       changing the translations resources for the vt100 or tek4014 widgets.  Changing the
       translations resource for events other than key and button events is not expected, and
       will cause unpredictable behavior.

   Actions
       The following actions are provided for use within the vt100 or tek4014 translations
       resources:

       allow-bold-fonts(on/off/toggle)
               This action sets, unsets or toggles the allowBoldFonts resource and is also
               invoked by the allow-bold-fonts entry in fontMenu.

       allow-color-ops(on/off/toggle)
               This action sets, unsets or toggles the allowColorOps resource and is also invoked
               by the allow-color-ops entry in fontMenu.

       allow-font-ops(on/off/toggle)
               This action sets, unsets or toggles the allowFontOps resource and is also invoked
               by the allow-font-ops entry in fontMenu.

       allow-mouse-ops(on/off/toggle)
               This action sets, unsets or toggles the allowMousepOps resource and is also
               invoked by the allow-mouse-ops entry in fontMenu.

       allow-send-events(on/off/toggle)
               This action sets, unsets or toggles the allowSendEvents resource and is also
               invoked by the allowsends entry in mainMenu.

       allow-tcap-ops(on/off/toggle)
               This action sets, unsets or toggles the allowTcapOps resource and is also invoked
               by the allow-tcap-ops entry in fontMenu.

       allow-title-ops(on/off/toggle)
               This action sets, unsets or toggles the allowTitleOps resource and is also invoked
               by the allow-title-ops entry in fontMenu.

       allow-window-ops(on/off/toggle)
               This action sets, unsets or toggles the allowWindowOps resource and is also
               invoked by the allow-window-ops entry in fontMenu.

       alt-sends-escape()
               This action toggles the state of the altSendsEscape resource.

       bell([percent])
               This action rings the keyboard bell at the specified percentage above or below the
               base volume.

       clear-saved-lines()
               This action does hard-reset() and also clears the history of lines saved off the
               top of the screen.  It is also invoked from the clearsavedlines entry in vtMenu.
               The effect is identical to a hardware reset (RIS) control sequence.

       copy-selection(destname [, ...])
               This action puts the currently selected text into all of the selections or
               cutbuffers specified by destname.  Unlike select-end, it does not send a mouse
               position or otherwise modify the internal selection state.

       create-menu(m/v/f/t)
               This action creates one of the menus used by xterm, if it has not been previously
               created.  The parameter values are the menu names: mainMenu, vtMenu, fontMenu,
               tekMenu, respectively.

       dabbrev-expand()
               Expands the word before cursor by searching in the preceding text on the screen
               and in the scrollback buffer for words starting with that abbreviation.  Repeating
               dabbrev-expand() several times in sequence searches for an alternative expansion
               by looking farther back.  Lack of more matches is signaled by a bell.  Attempts to
               expand an empty word (i.e., when cursor is preceded by a space) yield successively
               all previous words.  Consecutive identical expansions are ignored.  The word here
               is defined as a sequence of non-whitespace characters.  This feature partially
               emulates the behavior of “dynamic abbreviation” expansion in Emacs (bound there to
               M-/).  Here is a resource setting for xterm which will do the same thing:

                   *VT100*translations:    #override \n\
                           Meta <KeyPress> /:dabbrev-expand()

       deiconify()
               Changes the window state back to normal, if it was iconified.

       delete-is-del()
               This action toggles the state of the deleteIsDEL resource.

       dired-button()
               Handles a button event (other than press and release) by echoing the event's
               position (i.e., character line and column) in the following format:

                   ^X ESC G <line+“ ”> <col+“ ”>

       dump-html()
               Invokes the XHTML Screen Dump feature.

       dump-svg()
               Invokes the SVG Screen Dump feature.

       exec-formatted(format, sourcename [, ...])
               Execute an external command, using the current selection for part of the command's
               parameters.  The first parameter, format gives the basic command.  Succeeding
               parameters specify the selection source as in insert-selection.

               The format parameter allows these substitutions:

               %%   inserts a "%".

               %P   the screen-position at the beginning of the highlighted region, as a
                    semicolon-separated pair of integers using the values that the CUP control
                    sequence would use.

               %p   the screen-position after the beginning of the highlighted region, using the
                    same convention as “%P”.

               %S   the length of the string that “%s” would insert.

               %s   the content of the selection, unmodified.

               %T   the length of the string that “%t” would insert.

               %t   the selection, trimmed of leading/trailing whitespace.  Embedded spaces (and
                    newlines) are copied as is.

               %R   the length of the string that “%r” would insert.

               %r   the selection, trimmed of trailing whitespace.

               %V   the video attributes at the beginning of the highlighted region, as a
                    semicolon-separated list of integers using the values that the SGR control
                    sequence would use.

               %v   the video attributes after the end of the highlighted region, using the same
                    convention as “%V”.

               After constructing the command-string, xterm forks a subprocess and executes the
               command, which completes independently of xterm.

               For example, this translation would invoke a new xterm process to view a file
               whose name is selected while holding the shift key down.  The new process is
               started when the mouse button is released:

                   *VT100*translations: #override Shift \
                       <Btn1Up>:exec-formatted("xterm -e view '%t'", SELECT)

       exec-selectable(format, onClicks)
               Execute an external command, using data copied from the screen for part of the
               command's parameters.  The first parameter, format gives the basic command as in
               exec-formatted.  The second parameter specifies the method for copying the data as
               in the on2Clicks resource.

       fullscreen(on/off/toggle)
               This action sets, unsets or toggles the fullscreen resource.

       hard-reset()
               This action resets the scrolling region, tabs, window size, and cursor keys and
               clears the screen.  It is also invoked from the hardreset entry in vtMenu.

       iconify()
               Iconifies the window.

       ignore()
               This action ignores the event but checks for special pointer position escape
               sequences.

       insert()
               This action inserts the character or string associated with the key that was
               pressed.

       insert-eight-bit()
               This action inserts an eight-bit (Meta) version of the character or string
               associated with the key that was pressed.  Only single-byte values are treated
               specially.  The exact action depends on the value of the altSendsEscape and the
               metaSendsEscape and the eightBitInput resources.  The metaSendsEscape resource is
               tested first.  See the eightBitInput resource for a full discussion.

               The term “eight-bit” is misleading: xterm checks if the key is in the range 128 to
               255 (the eighth bit is set).  If the value is in that range, depending on the
               resource values, xterm may then do one of the following:

               •   add 128 to the value, setting its eighth bit,

               •   send an ESC byte before the key, or

               •   send the key unaltered.

       insert-formatted(format, sourcename [, ...])
               Insert the current selection or data related to it, formatted.  The first
               parameter, format gives the template for the data as in exec-formatted.
               Succeeding parameters specify the selection source as in insert-selection.

       insert-selectable(format, onClicks)
               Insert data copied from the screen, formatted.  The first parameter, format gives
               the template for the data as in exec-formatted.  The second parameter specifies
               the method for copying the data as in the on2Clicks resource.

       insert-selection(sourcename [, ...])
               This action inserts the string found in the selection or cutbuffer indicated by
               sourcename.  Sources are checked in the order given (case is significant) until
               one is found.  Commonly-used selections include: PRIMARY, SECONDARY, and
               CLIPBOARD.  Cut buffers are typically named CUT_BUFFER0 through CUT_BUFFER7.

       insert-seven-bit()
               This action is a synonym for insert().  The term “seven-bit” is misleading: it
               only implies that xterm does not try to add 128 to the key's value as in
               insert-eight-bit().

       interpret(control-sequence)
               Interpret the given control sequence locally, i.e., without passing it to the
               host.  This works by inserting the control sequence at the front of the input
               buffer.  Use “\” to escape octal digits in the string.  Xt does not allow you to
               put a null character (i.e., “\000”) in the string.

       keymap(name)
               This action dynamically defines a new translation table whose resource name is
               name with the suffix “Keymap” (i.e., nameKeymap, where case is significant).  The
               name None restores the original translation table.

       larger-vt-font()
               Set the font to the next larger one, based on the font dimensions.  See also
               set-vt-font().

       load-vt-fonts(name[,class])
               Load fontnames from the given subresource name and class.  That is, load the
               “*VT100.name.font”, resource as “*VT100.font” etc.  If no name is given, the
               original set of fontnames is restored.

               Unlike set-vt-font(), this does not affect the escape- and select-fonts, since
               those are not based on resource values.  It does affect the fonts loosely
               organized under the “Default” menu entry, including font, boldFont, wideFont and
               wideBoldFont.

       maximize()
               Resizes the window to fill the screen.

       meta-sends-escape()
               This action toggles the state of the metaSendsEscape resource.

       pointer-button()
               Use this action as a fall-back to handle button press- and release-events for the
               mouse control sequence protocol when the selection-related translations are
               suppressed with the omitTranslation resource.

       pointer-motion()
               Use this action as a fall-back to handle motion-events for the mouse control
               sequence protocol when the selection-related translations are suppressed with the
               omitTranslation resource.

       popup-menu(menuname)
               This action displays the specified popup menu.  Valid names (case is significant)
               include:  mainMenu, vtMenu, fontMenu, and tekMenu.

       print(printer-flags)
               This action prints the window.  It is also invoked by the print entry in mainMenu.

               The action accepts optional parameters, which temporarily override resource
               settings.  The parameter values are matched ignoring case:

               noFormFeed
                    no form feed will be sent at the end of the last line printed (i.e.,
                    printerFormFeed is “false”).

               FormFeed
                    a form feed will be sent at the end of the last line printed (i.e.,
                    printerFormFeed is “true”).

               noNewLine
                    no newline will be sent at the end of the last line printed, and wrapped
                    lines will be combined into long lines (i.e., printerNewLine is “false”).

               NewLine
                    a newline will be sent at the end of the last line printed, and each line
                    will be limited (by adding a newline) to the screen width (i.e.,
                    printerNewLine is “true”).

               noAttrs
                    the page is printed without attributes (i.e., printAttributes is “0”).

               monoAttrs
                    the page is printed with monochrome (vt220) attributes (i.e., printAttributes
                    is “1”).

               colorAttrs
                    the page is printed with ANSI color attributes (i.e., printAttributes is
                    “2”).

       print-everything(printer-flags)
               This action sends the entire text history, in addition to the text currently
               visible, to the program given in the printerCommand resource.  It allows the same
               optional parameters as the print action.  With a suitable printer command, the
               action can be used to load the text history in an editor.

       print-immediate()
               Sends the text of the current window directly to a file, as specified by the
               printFileImmediate, printModeImmediate and printOptsImmediate resources.

       print-on-error()
               Toggles a flag telling xterm that if it exits with an X error, to send the text of
               the current window directly to a file, as specified by the printFileOnXError,
               printModeOnXError and printOptsOnXError resources.

       print-redir()
               This action toggles the printerControlMode between 0 and 2.  The corresponding
               popup menu entry is useful for switching the printer off if you happen to change
               your mind after deciding to print random binary files on the terminal.

       quit()
               This action sends a SIGHUP to the subprogram and exits.  It is also invoked by the
               quit entry in mainMenu.

       readline-button()
               Supports the optional readline feature by echoing repeated cursor forward or
               backward control sequences on button release event, to request that the host
               application update its notion of the cursor's position to match the button event.

       redraw()
               This action redraws the window.  It is also invoked by the redraw entry in
               mainMenu.

       restore()
               Restores the window to the size before it was last maximized.

       scroll-back(count [,units [,mouse] ])
               This action scrolls the text window backward so that text that had previously
               scrolled off the top of the screen is now visible.

               The count argument indicates the number of units (which may be page, halfpage,
               pixel, or line) by which to scroll.  If no count parameter is given, xterm uses
               the number of lines given by the scrollLines resource.

               An adjustment can be specified for the page or halfpage units by appending a “+”
               or “-” sign followed by a number, e.g., page-2 to specify 2 lines less than a
               page.

               If the second parameter is omitted “lines” is used.

               If the third parameter mouse is given, the action is ignored when mouse reporting
               is enabled.

       scroll-forw(count [,units [,mouse] ])
               This action is similar to scroll-back except that it scrolls in the other
               direction.

               Spawn a new xterm process.  This is available on systems which have a modern
               version of the process filesystem, e.g., “/proc”, which xterm can read.

               Use the “cwd” process entry, e.g., /proc/12345/cwd to obtain the working directory
               of the process which is running in the current xterm.

               On systems which have the “exe” process entry, e.g., /proc/12345/exe, use this to
               obtain the actual executable.  Otherwise, use the $PATH variable to find xterm.

               If parameters are given in the action, pass them to the new xterm process.

       start-cursor-extend()
               This action is similar to select-extend except that the selection is extended to

               the current pointer location.

       string(string)
               This action inserts the specified text string as if it had been typed.  Quotation
               is necessary if the string contains whitespace or non-alphanumeric characters.  If
               the string argument begins with the characters “0x”, it is interpreted as a hex
               character constant.

       tek-copy()
               This action copies the escape codes used to generate the current window contents
               to a file in the current directory beginning with the name COPY.  It is also

       vi-button()
               Handles a button event (other than press and release) by echoing a control
               sequence computed from the event's line number in the screen relative to the
               current line:

                   ESC ^P

               or

                   ESC ^N

               according to whether the event is before, or after the current line, respectively.
               The ^N (or ^P) is repeated once for each line that the event differs from the
               current line.  The control sequence is omitted altogether if the button event is
               on the current line.

       visual-bell()
               This action flashes the window quickly.

       The Tektronix window also has the following action:

       gin-press(l/L/m/M/r/R)
               This action sends the indicated graphics input code.

                       Lock Ctrl <Btn5Down>:scroll-forw(1,halfpage,m) \n\
             Lock @Num_Lock Ctrl <Btn5Down>:scroll-forw(1,halfpage,m) \n\
                  @Num_Lock Ctrl <Btn5Down>:scroll-forw(1,halfpage,m) \n\
                                 <Btn5Down>:scroll-forw(5,line,m)     \n\
                                    <BtnUp>:select-end(SELECT, CUT_BUFFER0) \n\
                                <BtnMotion>:pointer-motion() \n\
                                  <BtnDown>:pointer-button() \n\
                                    <BtnUp>:pointer-button() \n\
                                  <BtnDown>:ignore()

       The default bindings in the Tektronix window are analogous but less extensive.  These are
       for the tek4014 widget:

                            ~Meta<KeyPress>: insert-seven-bit() \n\
                             Meta<KeyPress>: insert-eight-bit() \n\
                           !Ctrl <Btn1Down>: popup-menu(mainMenu) \n\
                      !Lock Ctrl <Btn1Down>: popup-menu(mainMenu) \n\
            !Lock Ctrl @Num_Lock <Btn1Down>: popup-menu(mainMenu) \n\
                 !Ctrl @Num_Lock <Btn1Down>: popup-menu(mainMenu) \n\
                           !Ctrl <Btn2Down>: popup-menu(tekMenu) \n\
                      !Lock Ctrl <Btn2Down>: popup-menu(tekMenu) \n\
            !Lock Ctrl @Num_Lock <Btn2Down>: popup-menu(tekMenu) \n\
                 !Ctrl @Num_Lock <Btn2Down>: popup-menu(tekMenu) \n\
                      Shift ~Meta<Btn1Down>: gin-press(L) \n\
                            ~Meta<Btn1Down>: gin-press(l) \n\
                      Shift ~Meta<Btn2Down>: gin-press(M) \n\
                            ~Meta<Btn2Down>: gin-press(m) \n\
                      Shift ~Meta<Btn3Down>: gin-press(R) \n\
                            ~Meta<Btn3Down>: gin-press(r)

   Custom Key Bindings
       You can modify the translations resource by overriding parts of it, or merging your
       resources with it.

       Here is an example which uses shifted select/paste to copy to the clipboard, and unshifted
       select/paste for the primary selection.  In each case, a (different) cut buffer is also a
       target or source of the select/paste operation.  It is important to remember however, that
       cut buffers store data in ISO-8859-1 encoding, while selections can store data in a
       variety of formats and encodings.  While xterm owns the selection, it highlights it.  When
       it loses the selection, it removes the corresponding highlight.  But you can still paste
       from the corresponding cut buffer.

           *VT100*translations:    #override \n\
              ~Shift~Ctrl<Btn2Up>: insert-selection(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0) \n\
               Shift~Ctrl<Btn2Up>: insert-selection(CLIPBOARD, CUT_BUFFER1) \n\
              ~Shift     <BtnUp> : select-end(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0) \n\
               Shift     <BtnUp> : select-end(CLIPBOARD, CUT_BUFFER1)

       In the example, the class name VT100 is used rather than the widget name.  These are
       different; a class name could apply to more than one widget.  A leading “*” is used
       because the widget hierarchy above the vt100 widget depends on whether the toolbar support
       is compiled into xterm.

       Most of the predefined translations are related to the mouse, with a few that use some of
       the special keys on the keyboard.  Applications use special keys (function-keys, cursor-
       keys, keypad-keys) with modifiers (shift, control, alt).  If xterm defines a translation
       for a given combination of special key and modifier, that makes it unavailable for use by
       applications within the terminal.  For instance, one might extend the use of Page Up and
       Page Down keys seen here:

               Shift <KeyPress> Prior : scroll-back(1,halfpage) \n\
               Shift <KeyPress> Next  : scroll-forw(1,halfpage) \n\

       to the Home and End keys:

               Shift <KeyPress> Home : scroll-to(begin) \n\
               Shift <KeyPress> End  : scroll-to(end)

       but then shift-Home and shift-End would then be unavailable to applications.

       Not everyone finds the three-button mouse bindings easy to use.  In a wheel mouse, the
       middle button might be the wheel.  As an alternative, you could add a binding using
       shifted keys:

           *VT100*translations:      #override \n\
               Shift <Key>Home:    copy-selection(SELECT) \n\
               Shift <Key>Insert:  copy-selection(SELECT) \n\
               Ctrl Shift <Key>C:  copy-selection(SELECT) \n\
               Ctrl Shift <Key>V:  insert-selection(SELECT)

       You would still use the left- and right-mouse buttons (typically 1 and 3) for beginning
       and extending selections.

       Besides mouse problems, there are also keyboards with inconvenient layouts.  Some lack a
       numeric keypad, making it hard to use the shifted keypad plus and minus bindings for
       switching between font sizes.  You can work around that by assigning the actions to more
       readily accessed keys:

           *VT100*translations:      #override \n\
               Ctrl <Key> +:       larger-vt-font() \n\
               Ctrl <Key> -:       smaller-vt-font()

       The keymap feature allows you to switch between sets of translations.  The sample below
       shows how the keymap() action may be used to add special keys for entering commonly-typed
       words:

           *VT100.Translations: #override <Key>F13: keymap(dbx)
           *VT100.dbxKeymap.translations: \
                   <Key>F14:       keymap(None) \n\
                   <Key>F17:       string("next") \n\
                                   string(0x0d) \n\
                   <Key>F18:       string("step") \n\
                                   string(0x0d) \n\
                   <Key>F19:       string("continue") \n\
                                   string(0x0d) \n\
                   <Key>F20:       string("print ") \n\
                                   insert-selection(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0)

   Default Scrollbar Bindings
       Key bindings are normally associated with the vt100 or tek4014 widgets which act as
       terminal emulators.  Xterm's scrollbar (and toolbar if it is configured) are separate
       widgets.  Because all of these use the X Toolkit, they have corresponding translations
       resources.  Those resources are distinct, and match different patterns, e.g., the
       differences in widget-name and number of levels of widgets which they may contain.

       The scrollbar widget is a child of the vt100 widget.  It is positioned on top of the vt100
       widget.  Toggling the scrollbar on and off causes the vt100 widget to resize.

       The default bindings for the scrollbar widget use only mouse-button events:

              <Btn5Down>: StartScroll(Forward) \n\
              <Btn1Down>: StartScroll(Forward) \n\
              <Btn2Down>: StartScroll(Continuous) MoveThumb() NotifyThumb() \n\
              <Btn3Down>: StartScroll(Backward) \n\
              <Btn4Down>: StartScroll(Backward) \n\
              <Btn2Motion>: MoveThumb() NotifyThumb() \n\
              <BtnUp>:    NotifyScroll(Proportional) EndScroll()

       Events which the scrollbar widget does not recognize at all are lost.

       However, at startup, xterm augments these translations with the default translations used
       for the vt100 widget, together with the resource “actions” which those translations use.
       Because the scrollbar (or menubar) widgets do not recognize these actions (but because it
       has a corresponding translation), they are passed on to the vt100 widget.

       This augmenting of the scrollbar's translations has a few limitations:

       •   Xterm knows what the default translations are, but there is no suitable library
           interface for determining what customizations a user may have added to the vt100
           widget.  All that xterm can do is augment the scrollbar widget to give it the same
           starting point for further customization by the user.

       •   Events in the gap between the widgets may be lost.

       •   Compose sequences begun in one widget cannot be completed in the other, because the
           input methods for each widget do not share context information.

       Most customizations of the scrollbar translations do not concern key bindings.  Rather,
       users are generally more interested in changing the bindings of the mouse buttons.  For
       example, some people prefer using the left pointer button for dragging the scrollbar
       thumb.  That can be set up by altering the translations resource, e.g.,

           *VT100.scrollbar.translations:  #override \n\
              <Btn5Down>:     StartScroll(Forward) \n\
              <Btn1Down>:     StartScroll(Continuous) MoveThumb() NotifyThumb() \n\
              <Btn4Down>:     StartScroll(Backward) \n\
              <Btn1Motion>:   MoveThumb() NotifyThumb() \n\
              <BtnUp>:        NotifyScroll(Proportional) EndScroll()

CONTROL SEQUENCES AND KEYBOARD

       Applications can send sequences of characters to the terminal to change its behavior.
       Often they are referred to as “ANSI escape sequences” or just plain “escape sequences” but
       both terms are misleading:

       •   ANSI x3.64 (obsolete) which was replaced by ISO 6429 (ECMA-48) gave rules for the
           format of these sequences of characters.

       •   While the original VT100 was claimed to be ANSI-compatible (against x3.64), there is
           no freely available version of the ANSI standard to show where the VT100 differs.
           Most of the documents which mention the ANSI standard have additions not found in the
           original (such as those based on ansi.sys).  So this discussion focuses on the ISO
           standards.

       •   The standard describes only sequences sent from the host to the terminal.  There is no
           standard for sequences sent by special keys from the terminal to the host.  By
           convention (and referring to existing terminals), the format of those sequences
           usually conforms to the host-to-terminal standard.

       •   Some of xterm's sequences do not fit into the standard scheme.  Technically those are
           “unspecified”.  As an example, DEC Screen Alignment Test (DECALN) is this three-
           character sequence:

               ESC # 8

       •   Some sequences fit into the standard format, but are not listed in the standard.
           These include the sequences used for setting up scrolling margins and doing
           forward/reverse scrolling.

       •   Some of the sequences (in particular, the single-character functions such as tab and
           backspace) do not include the escape character.

       With all of that in mind, the standard refers to these sequences of characters as “control
       sequences”.

       Xterm Control Sequences lists the control sequences which an application can send xterm to
       make it perform various operations.  Most of these operations are standardized, from
       either the DEC or Tektronix terminals, or from more widely used standards such as
       ISO-6429.

       A few examples of usage are given in this section.

   Window and Icon Titles
       Some scripts use echo with options -e and -n to tell the shell to interpret the string
       “\e” as the escape character and to suppress a trailing newline on output.  Those are not
       portable, nor recommended.  Instead, use printf (POSIX).

       For example, to set the window title to “Hello world!”, you could use one of these
       commands in a script:

           printf '\033]2;Hello world!\033\\'
           printf '\033]2;Hello world!\007'
           printf '\033]2;%s\033\\' "Hello world!"
           printf '\033]2;%s\007' "Hello world!"

       The printf command interprets the octal value “\033” for escape, and (since it was not
       given in the format) omits a trailing newline from the output.

       Some programs (such as screen(1)) set both window- and icon-titles at the same time, using
       a slightly different control sequence:

           printf '\033]0;Hello world!\033\\'
           printf '\033]0;Hello world!\007'
           printf '\033]0;%s\033\\' "Hello world!"
           printf '\033]0;%s\007' "Hello world!"

       The difference is the parameter “0” in each command.  Most window managers will honor
       either window title or icon title.  Some will make a distinction and allow you to set just
       the icon title.  You can tell xterm to ask for this with a different parameter in the
       control sequence:

           printf '\033]1;Hello world!\033\\'
           printf '\033]1;Hello world!\007'
           printf '\033]1;%s\033\\' "Hello world!"
           printf '\033]1;%s\007' "Hello world!"

   Special Keys
       Xterm, like any VT100-compatible terminal emulator, has two modes for the special keys
       (cursor-keys, numeric keypad, and certain function-keys):

       •   normal mode, which makes the special keys transmit “useful” sequences such as the
           control sequence for cursor-up when pressing the up-arrow, and

       •   application mode, which uses a different control sequence that cannot be mistaken for
           the “useful” sequences.

       The main difference between the two modes is that normal mode sequences start with CSI
       (escape [) and application mode sequences start with SS3 (escape O).

       The terminal is initialized into one of these two modes (usually the normal mode), based
       on the terminal description (termcap or terminfo).  The terminal description also has
       capabilities (strings) defined for the keypad mode used in curses applications.

       There is a problem in using the terminal description for applications that are not
       intended to be full-screen curses applications: the definitions of special keys are only
       correct for this keypad mode.  For example, some shells (unlike ksh(1), which appears to
       be hard-coded, not even using termcap) allow their users to customize key-bindings,
       assigning shell actions to special keys.

       •   bash(1) allows constant strings to be assigned to functions.  This is only successful
           if the terminal is initialized to application mode by default, because bash lacks
           flexibility in this area.  It uses a (less expressive than bash's) readline scripting
           language for setting up key bindings, which relies upon the user to statically
           enumerate the possible bindings for given values of $TERM.

       •   zsh(1) provides an analogous feature, but it accepts runtime expressions, as well as
           providing a $terminfo array for scripts.  In particular, one can use the terminal
           database, transforming when defining a key-binding.  By transforming the output so
           that CSI and SS3 are equated, zsh can use the terminal database to obtain useful
           definitions for its command-line use regardless of whether the terminal uses normal or
           application mode initially.  Here is an example:

               [[ "$terminfo[kcuu1]" == "^[O"* ]] && \
               bindkey -M viins "${terminfo[kcuu1]/O/[}" \
               vi-up-line-or-history

   Changing Colors
       A few shell programs provide the ability for users to add color and other video attributes
       to the shell prompt strings.  Users can do this by setting $PS1 (the primary prompt
       string).  Again, bash and zsh have provided features not found in ksh.  There is a
       problem, however: the prompt's width on the screen will not necessarily be the same as the
       number of characters.  Because there is no guidance in the POSIX standard, each shell
       addresses the problem in a different way:

       •   bash treats characters within “\[” and “\]” as nonprinting (using no width on the
           screen).

       •   zsh treats characters within “%{” and “%}” as nonprinting.

       In addition to the difference in syntax, the shells provide different methods for
       obtaining useful escape sequences:

       •   As noted in Special Keys, zsh initializes the $terminfo array with the terminal
           capabilities.

           It also provides a function echoti which works like tput(1) to convert a terminal
           capability with its parameters into a string that can be written to the terminal.

       •   Shells lacking a comparable feature (such as bash) can always use the program tput to
           do this transformation.

       Hard-coded escape sequences are supported by each shell, but are not recommended because
       those rely upon particular configurations and cannot be easily moved between different
       user environments.

ENVIRONMENT

       Xterm sets several environment variables.

   System Independent
       Some variables are used on every system:

       DISPLAY
            is the display name, pointing to the X server (see DISPLAY NAMES in X(7)).

       TERM
            is set according to the terminfo (or termcap) entry which it is using as a reference.

            On some systems, you may encounter situations where the shell which you use and xterm
            are built using libraries with different terminal databases.  In that situation,
            xterm may choose a terminal description not known to the shell.

       WINDOWID
            is set to the X window id number of the xterm window.

       XTERM_FILTER
            is set if a locale-filter is used.  The value is the pathname of the filter.

       XTERM_LOCALE
            shows the locale which was used by xterm on startup.  Some shell initialization
            scripts may set a different locale.

       XTERM_SHELL
            is set to the pathname of the program which is invoked.  Usually that is a shell
            program, e.g., /bin/sh.  Since it is not necessarily a shell program however, it is
            distinct from “SHELL”.

       XTERM_VERSION
            is set to the string displayed by the -version option.  That is normally an
            identifier for the X Window libraries used to build xterm, followed by xterm's patch
            number in parenthesis.  The patch number is also part of the response to a Secondary
            Device Attributes (DA) control sequence (see Xterm Control Sequences).

   System Dependent
       Depending on your system configuration, xterm may also set the following:

       COLUMNS
            the width of the xterm in characters (cf: “stty columns”).

            When this variable is set, curses applications (and most terminal programs) will
            assume that the terminal has this many columns.

            Xterm would do this for systems which have no ability to tell the size of the
            terminal.  Those are very rare, none newer than the mid 1990s when SVR4 became
            prevalent.

       HOME
            when xterm is configured (at build-time) to update utmp.

       LINES
            the height of the xterm in characters (cf: “stty rows”).

            When this variable is set, curses applications (and most terminal programs) will
            assume that the terminal has this many lines (rows).

            Xterm would do this for systems which have no ability to tell the size of the
            terminal.  Those are very rare, none newer than the mid 1990s when SVR4 became
            prevalent.

       LOGNAME
            when xterm is configured (at build-time) to update utmp.

            Your configuration may have set LOGNAME; xterm does not modify that.  If it is unset,
            xterm will use USER if it is set.  Finally, if neither is set, xterm will use the
            getlogin(3) function.

       SHELL
            when xterm is configured (at build-time) to update utmp.  It is also set if you
            provide a valid shell name as the optional parameter.

            Xterm sets this to an absolute pathname.  If you have set the variable to a relative
            pathname, xterm may set it to a different shell pathname.

            If you have set this to an pathname which does not correspond to a valid shell, xterm
            may unset it, to avoid confusion.

       TERMCAP
            the contents of the termcap entry corresponding to $TERM, with lines and columns
            values substituted for the actual size window you have created.

            This feature is, like LINES and COLUMNS, used rarely.  It addresses the same
            limitation of a few older systems by providing a way for termcap-based applications
            to get the initial screen size.

       TERMINFO
            may be defined to a nonstandard location using the configure script.

       In the output from xprop(1), there are several properties.

   Properties set by X Toolkit
       WM_CLASS
            This shows the instance name and the X resource class, passed to X Toolkit during
            initialization of xterm, e.g.,

                WM_CLASS(STRING) = "xterm", "UXTerm"

       WM_CLIENT_LEADER
            This shows the window-id which xterm provides with an environment variable
            (WINDOWID), e.g.,

                WM_CLIENT_LEADER(WINDOW): window id # 0x800023

       WM_COMMAND
            This shows the command-line arguments for xterm which are passed to X Toolkit during
            initialization, e.g.,

                WM_COMMAND(STRING) = { "xterm", "-class", "UXTerm", "-title", "uxterm", "-u8" }

       WM_ICON_NAME
            This holds the icon title, which different window managers handle in various ways.
            It is set via the iconName resource.  Applications can change this using control
            sequences.

       WM_LOCALE_NAME
            This shows the result from the setlocale(3) function for the LC_CTYPE category, e.g.,

                WM_LOCALE_NAME(STRING) = "en_US.UTF-8"

       WM_NAME
            This holds the window title, normally at the top of xterm's window.  It is set via
            the title resource.  Applications can change this using control sequences.

   Properties set by Xterm
       X Toolkit does not manage EWMH properties.  Xterm does this directly.

       _NET_WM_ICON_NAME
            stores the icon name.

       _NET_WM_NAME
            stores the title string.

       _NET_WM_PID
            stores the process identifier for xterm's display.

   Properties used by Xterm
       _NET_SUPPORTED
            Xterm checks this property on the supporting window to decide if the window manager
            supports specific maximizing styles.  That may include other window manager hints;
            xterm uses the X library calls to manage those.

       _NET_SUPPORTING_WM_CHECK
            Xterm checks this to ensure that it will only update the EWMH properties for a window
            manager which claims EWMH compliance.

       _NET_WM_STATE
            This tells xterm whether its window has been maximized by the window manager, and if
            so, what type of maximizing:

            _NET_WM_STATE_FULLSCREEN

            _NET_WM_STATE_MAXIMIZED_HORZ

            _NET_WM_STATE_MAXIMIZED_VERT

FILES

       The actual pathnames given may differ on your system.

       /etc/shells
            contains a list of valid shell programs, used by xterm to decide if the “SHELL”
            environment variable should be set for the process started by xterm.

            On systems which have the getusershell function, xterm will use that function rather
            than directly reading the file, since the file may not be present if the system uses
            default settings.

       /etc/utmp
            the system log file, which records user logins.

       /var/log/wtmp
            the system log file, which records user logins and logouts.

       /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm
            the xterm default application resources.

       /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-color
            the xterm color application resources.  If your display supports color, use this

                *customization: -color

            in your .Xdefaults file to automatically use this resource file rather than
            /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm.  If you do not do this, xterm uses its compiled-in
            default resource settings for colors.

       /usr/share/pixmaps
            the directory in which xterm's pixmap icon files are installed.

ERROR MESSAGES

       Most of the fatal error messages from xterm use the following format:

           xterm: Error XXX, errno YYY: ZZZ

       The XXX codes (which are used by xterm as its exit-code) are listed below, with a brief
       explanation.

BUGS

       Large pastes do not work on some systems.  This is not a bug in xterm; it is a bug in the
       pseudo terminal driver of those systems.  Xterm 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.

       When connected to an input method, it is possible for xterm to hang if the XIM server is
       suspended or killed.

       Many of the options are not resettable after xterm starts.

       This program still needs to be rewritten.  It should be split into very modular sections,
       with the various emulators being completely separate widgets that do not 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.

           An  Xorg  developer  removed that part of the documentation in 2004 when incorporating
           other work from XFree86 into Xorg.  The feature is still  supported  in  Xorg,  though
           undocumented as of 2019.
