NAME

SYNOPSIS

9       koi8rxterm [ xterm-options ]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       koi8rxterm  is  a  wrapper around the xterm(1) program that invokes the
13       latter program with the “KOI8RXTerm” X resource class set.   All  argu‐
14       ments  to koi8rxterm are passed to xterm without processing; the -class
15       and -k8 options should not be specified because they are  used  by  the
16       wrapper.   See  the  xterm  manual  page for more information on xterm-
17       options.
18
19       The environment's locale settings (see “ENVIRONMENT” below) are used to
20       discern the locale's character set.  If no current locale can be deter‐
21       mined, the locale “ru_RU.KOI8-R” (the Russian language as used  in  the
22       territory  of  Russia,  with the KOI8-R character set) is assumed.  The
23       locale(1) utility is used to determine whether the system supports  the
24       selected  locale.   If  it does not, koi8rxterm will exit with an error
25       and report the output of locale.
26
27       Note: koi8rxterm may produce unexpected results if the  current  locale
28       is  set to one in which the KOI8-R character encoding is not supported,
29       or if fonts using that encoding are not available.  In the Debian  sys‐
30       tem,  the  “xfonts-cyrillic” package provides the fonts that koi8rxterm
31       uses by default.   To  change  the  fonts  koi8rxterm  uses,  edit  the
32       /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/KOI8RXTerm file.
33
34       A  similar  wrapper, uxterm(1), is available for Unicode UTF-8 environ‐
35       ments.
36

ENVIRONMENT

38       LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LANG
39              The values of these variables are checked, in order,  to  deter‐
40              mine the character set used by the current locale.

AUTHOR

43       koi8rxterm was written by Branden Robinson and is very heavily based on
44       uxterm, by Thomas Dickey.  The assistance of Jurij Smakov  was  invalu‐
45       able in sanity-checking its operation.
