NAME

6       urxvt-mlc - control the urxvt-mld daemon
7

SYNOPSIS

9       urxvt-mlc [same options as for urxvt-ml]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       This manpage describes the urxvt-mlc client program. It connects to the
13       urxvt-mld daemon and requests a new terminal window. It takes the same
14       arguments as the urxvt-ml program. The environment will also be
15       respected. Currently, it always returns immediately after contacting
16       the daemon.
17

OPTIONS

19       All options that are valid for urxvt-ml are valid for urxvt-mlc, too.
20       Please note that options are interpreted in the context of the daemon
21       process. However, as current working directory, process environment and
22       any file descriptor (e.g. for "-pty-fd") are preserved, this rarely
23       makes a difference.
24

EXIT STATUS

26       If everything went well, urxvt-mlc returns with an exit status of 0.
27       If contacting the daemon fails, it exits with the exit status 2. In all
28       other error cases it returns with status 1.
29
30       This can be used to implement auto-starting behaviour, by checking for
31       an exit status of 2, running "urxvt-mld -f -q" and retrying the call to
32       urxvt-mlc, like this:
33
34          #!/bin/sh
35          urxvt-mlc "$@"
36          if [ $? -eq 2 ]; then
37             urxvt-mld -q -o -f
38             urxvt-mlc "$@"
39          fi
40

ENVIRONMENT

42       All environment variables of the current process will be made available
43       to the new instance, and will be interpreted as if urxvt-ml were
44       started directly.
45
46       RXVT_SOCKET
47           Both urxvt-mlc and urxvt-mld use the environment variable
48           RXVT_SOCKET to create a listening socket and to contact the urxvt-
49           mld, respectively. If the variable is missing,
50           $HOME/.rxvt-unicode-<nodename> is used.  The variable must specify
51           the absolute path of the socket to create.
