KOI8RXTERM(1)							  X Window System						     KOI8RXTERM(1)

NAME

       koi8rxterm - X terminal emulator for KOI8-R environments

SYNOPSIS

       koi8rxterm [ xterm-options ]

DESCRIPTION

       koi8rxterm  is a wrapper around the xterm(1) program that invokes the latter program with the "KOI8RXTerm" X resource class set.  All argu-
       ments to koi8rxterm are passed to xterm without processing; the -class and -k8 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 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, koi8rxterm will exit with an
       error and report the output of locale.

       Note: koi8rxterm may produce unexpected results if the current locale is set to one in which the KOI8-R	character  encoding  is  not  sup-
       ported,	or  if	fonts  using that encoding are not available.  In the Debian system, the "xfonts-cyrillic" package provides the fonts that
       koi8rxterm uses by default.  To change the fonts koi8rxterm uses, edit the /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/KOI8RXTerm file.

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

AUTHOR

       koi8rxterm was written by Branden Robinson and is very heavily based on uxterm, by Thomas Dickey.   The	assistance  of	Jurij  Smakov  was
       invaluable in sanity-checking its operation.
