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 processing; 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.
