2.2 About This Chapter
This chapter discusses general command information and
describes the AIX X-Windows commands in alphabetical order.
An opening section on syntax diagrams discusses how to interpret the parts
of the command syntax diagrams.
Each command description includes the following sections:
A Purpose section that explains the command.
A Syntax diagram that shows the required, optional, and
default command syntax.
A Description section that gives a detailed explanation
of command usage.
A Flag section that discusses each flag that can be specified
with the
command. Where appropriate,
the default setting of the flag is given.
Explanations of file structures and command submenus are
included where relevant.
You can use the commands in this chapter to start X-Windows
clients from the command line within a window. Some commands can
be selected from the window manager menu. See "Window Manager Command
Menu" in topic 2.6.3.
Note: Not all X-Windows commands
function on the S/370 system; these exceptions are noted after each command
that is affected.
2.3 General Information
The following topics are applicable to several different
X-Windows commands.
2.3.1 Command Defaults
You can customize X-Windows by copying the file /usr/lpp/X11/defaults/Xdefaults
into the home directory ($HOME) as .Xdefaults
and customizing the values defined in the file. The format of each
line in the file is:
command.keyword:string
If you omit command, the specified default value is used
for all appropriate X-Windows commands. Global defaults must appear
in the file before any specific command defaults.
Each command has keywords that correlate to the command
arguments. For more information about keywords and default values,
see "Changing X-Windows Defaults" in topic 3.3
and the discussions of specific commands.
2.3.2 Geometry Specification
Most commands accept a geometry specification, which defines
the size and the placement of windows on the screen. A geometry specification
is written in the following format:
PICTURE 8
You specify the width and height as the number of characters
for text programs, and usually as pixels for graphics programs. The
offsets Xoff and Yoff are specified as pixels.
If you do not specify an offset, you must use a mouse to
position a window. If you specify a size and an offset, a window
is automatically sized and positioned when the program begins.
Xoff and Yoff specify distances from a corner of the screen
to the nearest corner of the window in the following way:
+-------------------------------------------+
¦ +Xoff+Yoff
¦ Upper left to upper left ¦
+--------------+----------------------------¦
¦ -Xoff+Yoff
¦ Upper right to upper right ¦
+--------------+----------------------------¦
¦ +Xoff-Yoff
¦ Lower left to lower left ¦
+--------------+----------------------------¦
¦ -Xoff-Yoff
¦ Lower right to lower right ¦
+-------------------------------------------+
2.3.3 Keyboard Specification
You can change the standard keyboard layout or the default
values of the keymap and function keys. Some programs search for
and use the .Xkeymap file in the
home directory of the user for setting up key and function key input resolution.
The .Xkeymap file
is produced by the keycomp program (keycomp
is an abbreviation for keymap compiler). .Xkeymap is the file used
to translate keystrokes into character strings.
Many programs perform the translation process by calling
the library routine XLookupMapping.
This routine searches for the keymap table in the following order:
1. $XDIR/.Xkeymap
(program directory)
2. $HOME/.Xkeymap
(home directory)
3. /usr/lpp/X11/defaults/.Xkeymap
(system directory).
Depending on what combinations of the Shift, Lock, Ctrl,
Alt, and Alt Graphic keys you use, each key can have up to 32 different
interpretations or bindings. (The Alt Graphic keys are only on non-US keyboards.)
With US English keyboard mapping, for example, pressing A produces an A
(an uppercase A) when Shift or Lock is down, an octal 001 when Ctrl is
down, and an a (a lowercase a) when no other key is down.
For more information on keyboard mapping, see "Keyboard
Mapping" in topic 3.6.
For more information on customizing the .Xkeymap
file, see "keycomp" in topic 2.7.
See the IBM AIX X-Windows Programmer's Reference for more information on
the XLookupMapping routine.
2.3.4 Color Specification
Many programs allow you to specify colors for things such
as the text or the screen background. A color specification can be
given as either a color name (such as blue) or as a string of three hexadecimal
values with each value specifying the intensity of the red, green, or blue
color components.
Color names are defined in the /usr/lpp/X11/rgb/rgb.txt
file. Some of the colors defined are:
Black
Blue
Cyan
Green
Navy
Red
Tan
White
Yellow
The hexadecimal values must be given in one of the following
formats:
#RGB
#RRGGBB
#RRRGGGBBB
#RRRRGGGGBBBB
In this table, R, G, and B represent single hexadecimal
digits (uppercase or lowercase). When fewer than 16 bits each are
specified, they represent the most significant bits of the value.
For more information, see XParseColor in the
IBM AIX X-Windows Programmer's Reference.
Note: When using
one of these values as part of a sh (shell)
command, enclose the value in double quotation marks. Normally, #
indicates a comment in a shell script.
2.3.5 Display Specification
When the xinit command is
first run, the $DISPLAY environment variable
is set to:
name:number
The contents of this variable specify the display used
by programs running with X-Windows:
The name is usually the host name of a particular
system.
The number is used to specify a specific
X Server on the named system.
Some commands accept a display specification. If
the command accepts a display specification, it causes the command to run
on the named system and to display on the numbered X Server on that system.
2.4 Syntax Diagrams
Before each command discussion, a syntax diagram shows
you how to enter that command correctly on the command line. These
diagrams show:
Which flags can be entered on the command
line
Which flags must take parameters
Which flags have optional parameters
Default values of flags and parameters,
if any
Which flags can and cannot be entered together
Where you must enter flags or parameters
and where you have a choice
Where you can repeat flag and parameter
sequences.
The following discussion explains how to interpret the
syntax diagrams. It begins with an example diagram that shows most of the
conventions used in diagrams. Each part of the diagram is labeled
and explained. Following the example are sample diagrams.
Diagram items that must be entered literally on the command
line are in bold. These items include the command name, all flags, and
literal characters. Variable items are in italics. These items
include parameters that follow flags, and parameters that the command reads,
such as files and directories. If an item has a default value, it
is shown in the normal font and the path is shown in bold. You do
not enter on the command line any item shown in the normal font on a bold
path.
2.4.1 Example of a Syntax
Diagram
The following diagram illustrates the conventions used
in the syntax diagrams:
PICTURE 9
You interpret the diagram as follows:
1 COMMAND NAME
The first item in the diagram
is the name of the command you want to invoke. It is in bold, so
it must be entered exactly as it appears in the diagram. After the command
name, the path branches into two paths. You can follow either path.
2 SINGLE CHOICE BOX
If you follow the lower path, you encounter a box with
the words one of over it. You can choose only one item from this
box.
3 DEFAULT LINE
If you follow the upper
path, you bypass the single choice box, and enter nothing. The bold
line around the box is a default line, which means that you do not have
to enter anything from that part of the diagram. Exceptions are usually
explained under "Description". One important exception, the empty
default line around input and output files, is explained in item 10.
4 REPEAT ARROW
When you follow a path
that takes you to a box with an arrow around it, you must choose at least
one item from the box. Then you can either follow the arrow back
around and continue to choose items from the box, or you can continue along
the path. When following the arrow around just the box (rather than
an arrow that includes several branches in the diagram), do not choose
the same item more than once.
5 REQUIRED ITEM
Following the branch with the
repeat arrow is a branch with three choices and no default line around
them. This means that you must choose one of A, B, or C.
6 GO TO NEXT LINE
If a diagram is too long to fit on one
line, this character tells you to go to the next line of the diagram to
continue entering your command line. The diagram does not end until you
reach the vertical mark.
7 CONTINUE DIAGRAM
This character shows you
where to continue with the diagram after it breaks on the previous line.
8 OPTIONAL PARAMETER
If a flag can, but does not have to, take
a parameter, the path branches after the flag to show this parameter.
If you cannot enter a space between the flag and parameter, you are told
in a footnote.
9 DEFAULT VALUE
Often, a command
has default values or actions that it will follow if you do not enter a
specific item. If the default is not something you can enter on the command
line, it is not indicated in the diagram. However, it is discussed
under "Flags".
Note:
Default values are included in the diagram for your information.
Do not enter them on the command line.
10 INPUT OR OUTPUT
A command that can read either standard input
or input files has an empty default line around the file parameter.
If the command can write its output to either a file or to standard output,
it is also shown with an empty default line around the output file parameter.
If a command can read only from standard input, input is not shown in the
diagram, and standard input is assumed. If a command writes only
to standard output, this is also assumed and output is not included in
the diagram. When you must supply a file name for input or output,
the file parameter is included in the diagram without a default line around
it.
Following are examples of this syntax:
command A
command C
command a B
command d B
command e A
command e g f A
command C D
command C D8
command A E7
command B myfile
command a e g B D3 E6 myfile
command d f e h C D myfile
Note: Although
the diagram implies that the order of the flags is important, it is usually
not. When the order of the flags is important, it is indicated in
the diagram, under "Flags", or in both places. With this in mind,
an additional example of how to enter this command is:
command
E9 a D g A h f myfile
2.5 aixterm
Purpose Initializes an X-Windows terminal emulator.
Syntax
PICTURE 10
Description
The aixterm command provides
a standard terminal type for programs that do not interact directly with
X-Windows. It can emulate either an HFT terminal or a VT102 terminal.
The default is HFT emulation. The VT102 mode is activated by the
-v
flag.
aixterm supports the display
of up to 16 colors at a time.
The aixterm terminal supports escape sequences that perform
terminal functions such as cursor control, moving and deleting lines, and
aixterm private functions.
Many of the special aixterm features (like the scroll bar
and logging) can be modified under program control through a set of private
aixterm escape sequences. You can also use escape sequences to change
the title in the title bar and to specify a new logging file name.
For more information on these escape sequences and the
supported data streams, see IBM AIX X-Windows Programmer's Reference and
AIX Operating System Technical Reference.
There are four different areas in the aixterm window:
Title bar
Scroll bar
Status line
Terminal window.
By default, only the terminal window is initially displayed.
The terminal window is the area provided for the terminal
emulation. When you create a window, a pseudo terminal is allocated
and a command (usually a shell) is started.
The aixterm command automatically highlights the window
border, text cursor, and title bar when the mouse cursor enters the window
(selected) and unhighlights them when the mouse cursor leaves the window
(unselected). If the window is the focus window, the window is highlighted
regardless of the location of the mouse cursor.
In addition to using the window manager, an aixterm window
can also be hidden by clicking the window name in the title bar.
If output occurs while an aixterm window is hidden and the bitmap icon
is displayed, a box is drawn around the icon title. To monitor the
aixterm window while it is hidden, the user can display a miniature version
of the terminal window instead of the default icon bitmap. This miniature
window is called an active icon.
The environment variable WINDOWID
is set to the resource ID number of the aixterm window.
2.5.1 The COPY, PASTE,
and RE-EXECUTE Functions
Once you create a terminal window, aixterm allows you to
save text and restore it within the same or other terminal windows by using
COPY, PASTE, and RE-EXECUTE button functions. These text functions
are available in both HFT and VT102 emulation. The selected text
is highlighted while the button is pressed.
The COPY, PASTE, and RE-EXECUTE button functions perform
as described below:
COPY
Pressing the left button saves text in the cut buffer. aixterm does a text
cut, not a box cut. Move the cursor to the beginning of the text.
Then hold the button down while moving the cursor to the end of the desired
region and release the button. The selected text is highlighted and
saved in the global cut buffer when the button is released.
Use double-clicking to select words.
Use triple-clicking to select lines.
Multiple-clicking is determined from the time that
the button is released to the time the button is pressed again.
You can also use markers to cut text.
Click the left button at the starting position of the desired region. With
all the buttons up, move the mouse cursor to the end of the desired region
and click the right button. The desired region will be highlighted
and saved in the cut buffer.
The right button also extends the current selection.
Once a desired region has been selected, pressing the right button again
will add the region between the current mouse position and the previously
selected region to the cut buffer. The extension will be in the same
selection mode that the previous selection or extension was performed.
Use multiple-clicking to cycle through the various selection modes.
PASTE
Pressing both
buttons at once (or the middle button on a three-button mouse) types the
text from the cut buffer into the terminal window that contains the mouse
cursor, inserting it as keyboard input.
RE-EXECUTE
Pressing Shift and the left mouse button
takes the text from the cursor (at button release) through the end of line
(including the new line), saves it in the global cut buffer and immediately
retypes the line, inserting it as keyboard input. The selected text
is highlighted. Moving the mouse cursor off of the initial line cancels
the selection. If there is no text beyond the initial cursor point,
aixterm sounds the bell, indicating an error.
By cutting and pasting pieces of text without trailing
new lines, you can take text from several places in different terminal
windows and form a command to the shell, for example, or take output from
a program and insert it into your favorite editor running in a terminal
window. The cut buffer is globally shared among different terminal
windows. The terminal emulator treats the cut buffer like a text
file, in that the text is delimited by new lines.
2.5.2 Menu Usage
The aixterm command has three different menus:
Options
Modes
Scrollbar.
Each menu pops up under the correct combinations of key
and button presses. Each menu contains various modes that can be
toggled. Most of the menu items can also be altered by the use of
command options. A + (plus sign) appears
next to a mode that is currently active. Selecting one of these modes
toggles its state. Some items of the menus are command entries; selecting
one of these performs the indicated function.
The Options menu pops up when
Ctrl
and the left mouse button are pressed in a
window. The menu contains items that apply to all emulation modes.
This menu can also be activated by pressing the left mouse button while
the mouse cursor is in the title bar.
The Modes menu sets various
modes for each emulation mode. The menu is activated by pressing
simultaneously the Ctrl key and the right
mouse button while the mouse cursor is in the window. The soft reset
entry resets scroll regions, a function that can be useful when a program
leaves the scroll regions set incorrectly. The full reset entry clears
the screen, resets tabs to every eight columns, and resets the terminal
modes (such as wrap and smooth scroll) to their states after aixterm finishes
processing the command line options. This menu can also be activated
by pressing the right mouse button while the mouse cursor is in the title
bar.
The Scrollbar menu pops up
when both mouse buttons are pressed at once
(or the middle button is pressed on a three-button mouse) while the mouse
cursor is on the scroll bar. This menu allows several modes particular
to the scroll bar to be set.
2.5.3 Scrollbar
The aixterm command supports an optional scroll bar composed
of a scroll button displayed at the top of the scroll bar and a scroll
region at the bottom. The scroll bar is hidden until its display
is requested. Pressing both buttons on the mouse at once (or the middle
button on a three-button mouse) while the cursor is in any part of the
scroll bar displays the scroll bar menu.
The scroll region displays the position and amount of text
currently showing in the window (highlighted) relative to the amount of
text actually saved in the scrolling buffer. As more text is saved
in the scrolling buffer, the size of the highlighted area decreases.
Clicking either the left or right button while the mouse cursor is in the
scroll region positions the top of the display window at the mouse cursor.
The scroll button causes the window to scroll up and down
within the saved text. Clicking the left button moves the window
position up (the text scrolls downward), while clicking the right button
moves the window position down (the text scrolls upward). The amount
of scrolling is modified by the Shift and Ctrl keys. If neither key
is pressed, the window scrolls a single line at a time. Pressing
the Shift key causes the text to scroll a full window at a time, minus
one line. Pressing the Ctrl key causes the text to be positioned
at the extreme top or bottom of the file.
2.5.4 HFT Emulation Summary
The aixterm command supports a
window that is equivalent to an HFT virtual terminal.
HFT emulation functions summary
A subset of HFT ioctl/VTDs is supported. For
more information, see
IBM AIX X-Windows Programmer's Reference.
Keyboard mapping is defined by XLookupMapping
and the keycomp command.
For more information, see "keycomp"
in topic 2.7.
For more
information about XLookupMapping refer to IBM
AIX X-Windows
Programmer's Reference. For information
on keyboard mapping, see
Keyboard Description and Character Reference.
International Character Support is provided for code
page switching
single-shift control characters. For more
information on the
datastream, see AIX Operating System Technical
Reference.
The HFT datastream, as defined in AIX OS Technical
Reference, is
supported.
Mouse reports are supported.
HFT escape sequences beyond the standard VT102 set
are implemented.
For more information, see IBM AIX X-Windows
Programmer's Reference.
2.5.5 VT102 Emulation Summary
The aixterm command
emulates a VT102 terminal when the -v
command option is specified. When VT102 emulation is requested, aixterm
sets the TERM environment variable to vt100.
Five keyboard states are handled by XLookupMapping.
In order to have VT102 keyboard mapping, a VT102 .Xkeymap
file must reside in the home directory of the user or in a directory supported
by XLookupMapping.
The VT102 emulation does not support a blinking character
attribute nor double-wide and double-size character sets. Also, International
Character Support is not provided during VT102 emulation.
Flags
An option takes on the opposite value if the - (minus sign) is
changed to a + (plus sign). These options override those set in the
.Xdefaults
file.
The aixterm command uses the following flags:
-ah
Always highlight the text cursor.
-ar
Turns on the auto-raise mode of aixterm, which automatically
raises the window (after a delay determined by keyword autoRaiseDelay)
when the mouse cursor enters the window. The default is off.
This flag can be turned on and off from the
Options
menu.
-b num
Specifies the width in pixels of an inner border.
The inner border is the distance between the outer edge of the characters
and the window border. The default is 2.
-bd color
Specifies the color of the highlighted border on color
displays. The default is black.
-bg color
Specifies the color of the window background on color
displays. The default is white.
-bi
Defines the icon window to be a miniature terminal
window (active icon) instead of an icon bitmap. The default is an icon
bitmap.
This option can be turned on and off from the Options
menu.
-bw num
Specifies the width of the window border in pixels.
The default is 2 pixels.
-cr color
Determines the color of the text cursor on color displays.
The default is the foreground color.
-cu
Causes certain curses applications to display leading
tabs correctly. The default is off.
This option can be turned on and off from the Modes
menu.
-display name:number
Identifies the host name and X Server display number
where aixterm is to run. By default, aixterm gets the host name and
display number from the environment variable DISPLAY.
For more information, see "Display Specification" in topic 2.3.5.
-dw
Causes the mouse cursor to move (warp) automatically
to the center of the aixterm window when the aixterm icon window is deiconified.
The default is off.
-e cmd
Specifies a command to be executed in the window.
This flag executes the command; it does not start a shell. If this
flag is used, the command and its arguments (if any) must appear last on
the aixterm command line. When the specified command has completed,
aixterm will exit and its window will disappear.
-fb font
Specifies the name of the bold font. This font
must be the same height and width as the normal font.
-fg color
Determines the foreground color of the text on color
displays. The default is black.
-fi font
Specifies the font to be used for the active icon
window. The default is Rom6.500 for HFT mode. In VT102 emulation,
the default is nil2.
-fn font
Specifies the name of a normal font. Any fixed-width
font can be used. In HFT emulation, the default is Rom14.500 for
a large display, Rom10.500 for a medium display, Rom8.500 for a small display.
In VT102 emulation, the default is vtsingle.
-ft font
Specifies the name of a title bar font. The
default is the normal font.
-fullcursor
Specifies the full-height text cursor.
-geometry geometry
Specifies the location and the dimensions of a window.
The default is 80x25+0+0. For more information on geometry, see "Geometry
Specification" in topic 2.3.2.
# geometry
Specifies the location of an icon window. If
specified, width and height are ignored. Width and height are taken
from the size of the bitmap and the length of the title.
Note: When using
one of these values as part of a sh (shell)
command, enclose the value in double quotation marks. Normally, #
indicates a comment in a shell script.
For more information on geometry specifications, see "Geometry
Specification" in topic 2.3.2.
-i
Causes aixterm to display the icon window rather than
the normal window when the window is opened. The default is off.
-ib file
Specifies the bitmap file to read for use as
the icon bitmap file instead of the default bitmap file. See /usr/include/X11/bitmaps
for a sample bitmap file.
-j
Causes aixterm to move multiple lines up at once (jump
scroll) if many lines are queued for display. The default is off.
This option can be turned on and off from the Modes
menu.
-keywords
Specifies the keywords used by aixterm in the .Xdefaults
file.
-l
Causes aixterm to append output from the window to
the end of the logfile file. The default is off.
This option can be turned on and off from the Options
menu.
This does not override LogInhibit
in the .Xdefaults file. For more information
about LogInhibit, see page 2.5.6.
-leftscroll
Places scrollbar on the left side of the textwindow
(-sb scrollbar must be turned on first).
-lf file
Specifies the file where the output is saved, instead
of the default file XtermLog.xxxxx, where
xxxxx
is the process ID of aixterm. The file is created in the directory
where aixterm is started, or in the home directory for a login aixterm.
If the file name begins with a | (pipe symbol), the rest of the string
is interpreted as a command to be executed by the shell and a pipe is opened
to the process.
-ls
Causes the shell run under aixterm to be a login shell.
The user's .login or .profile
file is read, and the initial directory is usually the home directory.
The default is off. Note:
-If only works if -I
is turned on.
-mb
Turns on the right margin bell. The default
is off.
This option can be turned on and off from the Modes
menu.
-ms color
Determines the color of the mouse cursor on color
displays. The default is the foreground color.
-n name
Specifies a window name for use by aixterm.
This name is displayed in the title bar.
-name name
Specifies the .Xdefaults
application name that is to be used when looking up keywords (instead of
the aixterm default).
-nb num
Specifies the right margin distance at which the margin
bell rings. The default is 10 spaces from the right edge of the window.
-po num
Specifies the number of lines from the previous screen
that will still be displayed on the screen when the window is scrolled
one page. The default is 1 line.
-ps
Turns on the page scroll mode. After a page of lines
is displayed, aixterm stops displaying new lines and the text cursor disappears.
Pressing the Enter key displays one new line. Pressing the space
bar or a character key displays a new page.
-r
Reverses the foreground and background colors. This
becomes the normal video mode.
This option can be turned on and off from the Modes
menu.
-rw
Turns on reverse-wraparound mode. The default
is off.
This mode allows the cursor to wraparound from the leftmost
column to the rightmost column of the previous line. This can be
useful in the shell to allow erasing characters backwards across the previous
line.
This option can be turned on and off from the Modes
menu.
-s
Turns off synchronous scrolling on the display. The
default is on. When this flag is specified, aixterm no longer attempts
to keep the screen current while scrolling and can run faster when network
latencies are very high.
-sb
Causes the scrollbar to be displayed. This option
may be turned on and off from the Modes menu.
The default is off.
-si
While using the scrollbar to review previous lines
of text, the window is normally repositioned automatically at the bottom
of the scroll region before output to the screen is processed. The
default is on.
This option disables window repositioning on output.
-sk
Causes the window to be repositioned automatically
in the normal position at the bottom of the scroll region when a key is
pressed. The default is off. This option is intended for use with
the scroll bar to review previous lines of text. Pressing a key also creates
output, which will be affected by the -si
option.
This option can be turned on and off from the Scrollbar
menu.
-sl num
Specifies the maximum number of lines to save that
are scrolled off of the top of the window. The default is 64.
-sn
Displays the status line to be displayed in normal
video (the status line is still enclosed in a box). By default, the
status line appears in reverse-video relative to the rest of the window.
This option can be turned on and off from the Modes
menu.
-st
isplays the status line on startup. The default
is off.
-tb
Disables the display of the title bar on startup.
This option can be turned on and off from the Options
menu.
-ti
Displays the title to the right of the bitmap in the
icon window. By default, the title appears under the bitmap.
-tn name
Specifies the TERM environment
variable (of the shell running in the aixterm window to name).
-ut Disables the /etc/utmp
file entry.
-v
Enables VT102 emulation. By default, an HFT
terminal is emulated. Note: Keyboard
map is needed for this mode.
-vb
Enables the visual bell mode. The visual
bell flashes the window on receipt of the Ctrl-G
key combination instead of ringing the bell. The default is
off.
-W
Causes the mouse cursor to move (warp) to the middle
of the aixterm window when the window is created. The default is
off.
-132
Causes the sm/rm escape
sequences to be recognized and the aixterm window to be resized as specified.
Normally, the sm/rm escape sequences that switch between the 80-column
and 132-column modes are ignored. The default is off.
This option can be turned on and off from the Modes
menu.
For more information, see IBM AIX X-Windows Programmer's
Reference.
2.5.6 .Xdefaults Keywords
The following default keywords are used with the aixterm
command. (An example default file is in /usr/lpp/X11/defaults.)
activeIcon
If true, displays the aixterm icon window as a miniature
terminal window (active icon) instead of an icon bitmap. The default
is false.
allowIconInput
If true, allows keyboard input to the miniature terminal
window (active icon). The default is false.
autoRaise
If true, raises the aixterm window automatically (after
a delay of autoRaiseDelay) when the mouse
cursor enters the window. The default is false.
autoRaiseDelay
If autoRaise is true,
specifies the number of seconds to delay before automatically raising a
window. The default is 2 seconds.
background
Specifies the color of the window background on color
