lxterm(1)                   General Commands Manual                  lxterm(1)



NAME
       lxterm - locale-sensitive wrapper for xterm

SYNOPSIS
       lxterm [ xterm-options ]

DESCRIPTION
       lxterm  is  a  wrapper  around the xterm(1) program that invokes xterm,
       koi8rxterm(1), or uxterm(1) as appropriate, based on the user's  locale
       setting.   All arguments to lxterm are passed to xterm without process-
       ing; the -class, -k8, and -u8 options should not be  specified  because
       they  are used by koi8rxterm and uxterm.  See the xterm manual page for
       more information on xterm-options.

       The locale(1) utility is used to determine the character  set  used  by
       the  current locale.  If the character set is UTF-8, uxterm is invoked;
       if the character  set  is  KOI8-R,  koi8rxtem  is  invoked;  otherwise,
       'plain' xterm is invoked.
