NAME
uxterm - X terminal emulator for Unicode (UTF-8) environ-
ments
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/uxterm [ xterm-options ]
DESCRIPTION
uxterm is a wrapper around the xterm(1) program that invokes
the latter program with the `UXTerm' X resource class set.
All arguments to uxterm are passed to xterm without process-
ing; the -class and -u8 options should not be specified
because they are used by the wrapper. See the xterm manual
page for more information on xterm-options.
The environment's locale settings (see "ENVIRONMENT" below)
are used to discern the locale's character set. If no cur-
rent locale can be determined, the locale `en_US' (the
English language as used in the territory of the United
States) is assumed. The locale(1) utility is used to deter-
mine whether the system supports the selected locale. If it
does not, uxterm will exit with an error and report the out-
put of locale.
Note: uxterm may produce unexpected results if the current
locale is set to one in which the UTF-8 character encoding
is not supported, or if fonts using the ISO 10646-1 charac-
ter set are not available. In the Debian system, the
`xfonts-base' package provides the fonts that uxterm uses by
default. To change the fonts uxterm uses, edit the
/usr/share/X11/app-defaults/UXTerm file.
A similar wrapper, koi8rxterm(1), is available for KOI8-R
environments.
ENVIRONMENT
LC_ALL, LC_CTYPE, LANG
The values of these variables are checked, in order, to
determine the character set used by the current locale.
