## NAME

koi8rxterm - X terminal emulator for KOI8-R environments

## SYNOPSIS

\*n [ xterm-options ]

## DESCRIPTION

\*n is a wrapper around the xterm(1)program that invokes the latter program with the *(``KOI8RXTerm*('' X resource class set. All arguments to \*n are passed to xterm without processing; the -class and -k8 options should not be specified because they are used by the wrapper. See the xtermmanual 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 current locale can be determined, the locale *(``ru_RU.KOI8-R*('' (the Russian language as used in the territory of Russia, with the KOI8-R character set) is assumed. The locale(1)utility is used to determine whether the system supports the selected locale. If it does not, \*n will exit with an error and report the output of locale .

Note: \*n may produce unexpected results if the current locale is set to one in which the KOI8-R character encoding is not supported, or if fonts using that encoding are not available. In the Debian system, the *(``xfonts-cyrillic*('' package provides the fonts that \*n uses by default. To change the fonts \*n uses, edit the /etc/X11/app-defaults/KOI8RXTerm file.

A similar wrapper, uxterm(1)is available for Unicode UTF-8 environments.

## ENVIRONMENT

LC_ALL, \fBLC_CTYPE, \fBLANG The values of these variables are checked, in order, to determine the character set used by the current locale.

## AUTHOR

\*n was written by Branden Robinson and is very heavily based on , uxtermby Thomas Dickey. The assistance of Jurij Smakov was invaluable in sanity-checking its operation.
